Warren,s excursion to Maple
Lake occurred yesterday under very
favorable conditions Of the weather.
The day was clear and sunshiny with
lively breeze to moderate the heat
OF the sun. Upwards OF 300 people
boarded the excursion train at War
rem. The train extended the trip to
Argyle in the morning, taking about
80 passengers from that place. The
trip was without incident except a
stoppage at Carmen, where the train
waited about 20 minutes for a re-
pairing crew to complete. repairs on
the track, after which it proceeded
uninterl uptedly to Mentor station,
where it arrived about 1890 a. m.
Here numerous rigs and large wag-
ons were waiting to take the passen-
gers out to the lake, a distance Of
about TX miles. At one place in the
road a mud hole had been formed by
the recent rains, and several rigs got
mired and the occupants had to dis
mount in order to get the horses and
carr ages extracted, after which the
tourists soon caught sight of the
beautiful lake at which they were all
anxious to arrive. After arriving
they soon took advantage OF all the
amusements and recreation that the
resort could afford, and at 1 2 o'clock
sat down under the shade of the
beautiful trees that border the lake
to partake Of the contents of their
lunch baskets. Trips were taken on
the steamers "Fayorite'' and MA

on sail boats over the somewhat bill

their muscles and showed their skill

shoe pitching was practisetl, and
even a bowery was made use OF tosa
