years past 1t is always looked for
ward to by the entire community 1t
was no exception this year, and as the
golden sun had hid it's face behind
the Wolverines imposing brow the
winding path leading up to Sunrise
Lodge was alive with merry crowds
AS the guests were being seated anon
the rocks and stumps-nature's own
chairs-surTounding the cottage,
sweet strains of music were launched
upon the quieG evening air by the
Wildwood sisters, Miss Alff, Miss Ma
son, Miss Reed and Miss Cotton
This was followed by the national
salute, after which the fiery volca-
noes (bonfires) and illuminations rep
resenting the destruction of Pompeii,
were set agoing.
At this point Judge Charles Street
of the Third district court, pressed
the electric button, setting the caI'ni-
val wheels in motion, and the flight of
Mostgalfier balloons was rare to be-
hold
This was followed by music, 81 Want
You, Ma Honey, Yes I Do" and flight
of fiery dragons, goldbugs and rockets.
Rev. DR.. Beans was called upon for
AN address, and responded, telling his
varied experiences at trout fishing in
Dos lake. DR.. Beams gained the sym
pathies of the crowd at once, and es-
pecially those who had brought their
flies" to depopuiate the surrounding
lakes.
There was some more music by the
Wildwood quartette, and Hon. j. L.
Rawlins was called upon. His sub
ject was announced, THE Peculiarities
of Golden Insects but it was not
responded to. Mr.. Rawlins has under
gone a change in this mountain
air. His soul has been inspired by
the marvellous scenery, the invigorat-
ing breezes, and one day last week
as he sat on AN empty nail key on
a raft upon Twin lake angling for
Speakers, his soul found expression
in the following lines, which were first
given to the public by the author re-
at once earned for him the title of
poet laureate of the camp. The verse
is as follows
THE TWIN LAKES.
The twin lakes; Thy calm, pelucid
waters
Set amid granite crags and GROWING Wa
satch peaks,
Thy crystal bosoms undisturbed except
As bug, or fly or beetle whirring about,
Unconscious of thy being becoming
Emeshed in thy invisible cablnel
Lures the speckled trout to course upon
thy surface,
Evanescent curves of beauty, richer far
Than e'er were drawn by limners art.
Or, as the breeze-created, PhoeDuS-tlpped
ripples
With their diamond sparkle chasing from
Shore to shore, fast the one upon anotner S
heels;
Or, as fern or shrub or flower, admired in
Sun-bedecked apparel, rich in perfumed
sweetness.
Stealing by thy side in zephyr thrilling
tenderness,
Plants kiss upon thy face.
Thou art free from fear. The spruce and
pine,
In granite crevice and on rocky turret,
Stand comic scntinels to guard thee.
Thou art the emblem of peace-and peace
be STILL
Is the only utterance of thy tranquil volce;
Thy angel hands gently lift the burden
Off the care-laden of they that worship
No briny tears of sorrow are shed by thee.
Joy is thy outflow. The rivulet of thy
waters
In more than childish mirth dances and
leaps.
And sings across thy rocky margin
Julius Rosebud, late of Alabama,
took the prize in the contest for fancy
jig dancing-Julius being the only con-
testant.
"A House Without Eaves," was the
subject nearest j. H. Moyle's heart,
so he responded to it appropriately.
A grand cake walk was the next on
the programme. The prize consisted of
a souvenir Bryan cane with silveTed
head. The judges were Hon. Charles
Street, Hon. j. L. RaWlinS and Hon.
J. H. Moyle. All professionals were
barred. The walk was governed by the
rulbs of the Silver Lake CHM bling
club, and fancy steps were allowed.
The entries in the contest were so
numerous that the decision has not
been announced, the Judges taking the
matter under Amusement, not being
entirely familiar with the rules govern
ing fancy steps.
In many respects the next number
on the card was the most interest
ing. 1t was a representation of the
Lone Fisherman, and a series of Scot
tish lamentations calculated to draw
trout to the hook by Hon. Andrew
Howat To more clearly illustrate his
point the judge made use of hook
and line, wash tub and a Lake
Michigan trout, imported especially
for the occasion His presentation
brought down the rocks.
AS a climax to the pyrotechnic display
a set piece of five works, The Wheel
Goes Round" set the people to cheer
ing. Concluding, the guests were adj
served with the most palatable refresh
ments and it was we'll toward mid
night as they departed for their cot
tages and tents.
Hon. J. L. Rawlins, wife and chill
dren, were among last weeks arTi-
walls. They occupy their coy little
cottage near the Brighton.

Heikes came up last Tuesday and are
CHARTERED at the Brighton.
An informal social hop was enjoyed
by the young people last Friday night

music.
