There was only fve-knot breeze at the

the Nalkyrie was going through the water

A POPULAR SUBURBAN RESORT.
The Lakeside Park Club n Haven

One II the most popular suburban To-
sorts accessible from this city is the Lake
side Park Club, a rendezvous for wheel
men. II is located on the property OF
Major Lewis Ginter. Tho club was or
ganhed last spring NJ meeting OF the
whseluen Of the WestmOrehnd and Com
monweath clubs 20 discuss the advisa-
billtv OF securing such rendezvous some
where in the country, 80 that runs might
be made 20 an objective point whore a
rest could be taken and tea or lunch
served. The plan was unf0.ded TO Mr..
Lewis Ginter one night, and that public
spirited gentleman agreed 70 erect nand-
some clubhouse out at Lakeside Park.
The structure IS a commodlous one
modern IN every detail. and is going Up
rapidly. The roof will probably be put
on within n week When completed broad
verandas and wheel-stauds will afford rest
for the 'cyclst and his steed. The club
grounds are being beautiiied by land
scape gardening. and slope gently from
the house, which is on a knoll, 10 the
lake shore. where are lighthouses and
bathing grounds.
The road leading 20 Lakeside Park IS
one OF the most attractive running out OF
the city. II passes many handsome villas
including those Of Mr.. Ginter. DIR. Nc

and others. The MssingLink track,
which is now being built. will connect

This club has a membership Of 80. with
Archie Anderson president. and Victor

night many OF the members take n spin
out 10 the club and sit about on the
grounds enjoying the moonlight. at the

The outlook early this morning for Ideal
racing weather was not az all encourage

who had made UP their minds 10 witness
the first OF the great international races.
But. DESPITE an omnious-looking SKY ana
an eastcrly breeze. the dread OF the land

left New York crowded to their utmost
capacity. There was no blue sky TO
gladden. the excursionists' hearts, but an
occasional bright streak at least gave
them hope.
AS early as 7S0 in the morning the
harbor began 10 show signs or iestivity.
Gaviy-hedecked steamers were anchored
at nearly every pier. taking on their
load Of human freight. the starting
line Of the race was over thirty miles
from the city, and. therefore. those wish

They poked their noses into the billows
which seemed ever read 10 engulf them,
and made more noise with their whistles
than boats OF a respectable size.
ONE OF THE SIGHTS.
The procession down the bay. though
somewhat obscured by the haze which
hung over the water. was one OF the
sights Of the day Slow boats starting

left the city later. and the line OF yes
