SEEK COOL SHADES OF LAKE MANAwi

Lake c--. Those Who
| Come ana Go.
There we're many delightful little pleasure
| excursions to the lake last week, but the
most pretentious OF all was the picnic given
! by the Omaha Arcanums. The excursion
was originally planned for week ago Sat
| urday, but was postponed to yesterday on
account of the weather The conditions yes
| terday were just right to create an overwean>
| ing desire to get to the lake, and the Omaha
| party was swelled to such proportions that
| 1t required five of the big Council Bluffs
| motor cars to carry them. Every member
of the order in Omaha who was able to get
away from the city joined the party and
the crowd was still further enlarged by the
addition of several hundred Arcanums from
| Council Bluffs. The Manawa Railway com
| pany had a long special train waiting for
| them. The eSCursionists took advantage of
the o'clock round trip half fare rates. No
| admission fee was charged at the gates, and
every source of pleasure was opened to them
| by the management of the Grand Plaza and
| Manhattan beach. The full afternoon pro-
gram ut the Plaza was rendered for their
benefit.
Trolley parties were popular and numerous
! during the week. A ride over the Council
| Bluffs and Omaha electric lines during the
hot evenings in the large open cars is a
| delightful change from hot walls and dusty
| streets The motor company had all of the
special excursion cars in every evening
during the week. The largest excursion was
| on Thursday evening, when 500 members of
| the knights and Ladies of the MaCCabees
made the journey over the Council Bluffs and
| Omaha lines as far out as the exposition
| grounds
