towns OF the county and nearly every
night there is some special attraction at
the Mammoth rink. Last Tuesday even
ing the Halcyon club gave a party. A
large number from Calumet and the Port

fine weather to attend and all had a
good time. The Lake Linden band iur-
nished music for the occasion. On
