Bay View Letter.

The season at the northern Michigan re-
sorts, which is now drawing to a close, is
one of the most perfect on record. While
people were dying by the hundreds in the
cities from excess of heat the resorters at
Bay View were revelling in the balmy
breezes of perfect summer temperature.
Only for two or three days was the weather
uncomfortably warm and during the present
week the temperature has gone beyond the
comfort line in the other direction to a de-
gree that has made winter overcoats very
agreeable to wear in the evenings. The
numerous rains have greatly added to the
natural purity Of the air, besides having
kept the terraces and lawns manteled in a
carpet of green in marked contrast to the
arid and parched appearance of last season.
The number of people on the grounds
during the assembly season, which closed
the middle of August, after four weeks Of
literary and musical treat, was fewer than
in '95; but larger number than usual re-

August drove large numbers Of Detroit and
Chicago people to seek relief at the popular
Michigan resorts. The five dollar excursion
of Thursday brought several thousand new
comers into Petoskey and the vicinity.
The writer having spent two weeks of
July at Chautauqua was interested In noting
some of the differences between these two
we'll literary centers. Chautauqua
is older and richer and shows far greater
development. 1t Is more like compact
city, the grounds being smaller than at
Bay View, but at the same time they ac-
commodate several times as many people.
The most attractive building is the elegant
and spacious ampitheater of the old Roman
type with capacity of 5000 persons. The
assembly program is very similar to that of
Bay View but the summer school and read
ing circle are larger and more in evidence.
The lake is a pretty winding sheet, In some
places very like river. The water is quiet
and warm and makes boating and bathing
pleasant and popular, thing that cannot
be said of Little Traverse Bay.
AS place for study, instruction and cul-
ture the New York resort is considerably
ahead of the Michigan resort; but as place
for rest, health and enjoyment, with ample
facilities for study and literary instruction
Bay View and vicinity has no equal. No
other place has the numerous natural ad-
vantages combined with so many artificial
ones. Chautauqua has its quiet lake with
pretty banks but 1t has not the numerous
side trips that give such variety to season
at Bay View. A season here combines a
delightful trip on one of the floating palaces
of the lakes; numerous short excursions to
places of natural beauty and historic inter-
est, as in the Mackinac region; fishing and
pcnicking trips to adjacent islands and to in
land lakes and brooks where one approaches
near to natures heart; the advantages of the
best hotels; choice literary and musical
treats and climate which is at once moder.
ate, uniform and exhilarating.
Northern Michigan is great center for
Chicago people and Its popularity is increas-
ing rapidly each year.

Another Successful Sunday School Rally.

Another Successful Sunday School Rally.
The rally day exercises held in this city
Friday, were successful in every way. The
day could not have been better for the
parade and 1t is estimated that there were
about 1,500 Sunday school pupils and Of
ficers in line. The march from Main street
up Washington and east on Oliver, was con-
Quoted with regularity and precision under
charge of Chief Marshal F. w. Townsend
and led by the City Band.
The following schools were represented
in the line of march: Venice, Corunna
Presbyterian, Pittsburg Union, Shiawassee
Union, Kelley M. e of Caledonia; Easton,
Perry Baptist, Vernon M. E., Perry Con-
gregational, West Haven Union, Easton,
Owosso Baptist, Congregational, First NJ
E., Asbury, and Disciple.
After assembling at the grounds the
crowd joined in singing America and then
disbanded until after dinner, the officers
being appointed a committee to ascertain
which school had the largest per cent of its
total enrolment actually In the line of
march. This was found to be the Kelly M.
E. Sunday school, of Caledonia, which had
3S present out of an enrolment Of 40 and the
prize banner was given to them during the
afternoon exercises. These exercises were
presided oyer by Pres. Holman and were
commenced at about 1:SO by prayer offered
by. Rev. Daniels, of Corunna. Stanley E.
Parkill then delivered one of his hearty
speeches, welcoming the rally day observ-
ers to the city and this was replied to by
Rev. f. A. Stephens, of Vernon. Hon. f.
p. Allen, of Ypsilanti, president of the
State Sunday School Association, was then
introduced and gave the address of the day,
telling something of the work throughout
the state and expressing himself as pleased
with the Shiawassee rally. The program

For some time the M. G. and A. A. Ry.

in connection and not only saving needless
expense but as they have a number of long
sidings which they use in common, saving
considerablek6other and annoyance to the
shippers from having two crews at work in
the yards. The plan was carried out on
Tuesday, the arrangements being such that
the M. G. engine does the work for both
yards, working in the M. G. yards from
until 9 a. M, then in the A. A. yards until
p. M, then back in the M. G. yards until 6
p. m. Engineer G. p. Hall still remains
with the engine and John Crackle the M. G..
switchman remains. The Ann Arbor road
furnishes the conductor and fireman, A..
Mills and Tom O'Neal. None of the Ann
Arbor employees are thrown out of job as
there is plenty of work on the road with

the old M. G. fireman is however temporari-

former M. G. conductor and yard master
goes back on the road and will probably
soon be given train again. We are sorry
the change makes the latter move necessary
