the most of their opportunities. The stage.
which is situated in the old familiar spot
on the southwest corner OF the lake. has
been enlarged for this season. In addition
to the old seats. boxes have been built
for the convenience of families or box
parties. A lofty tower has also been
erected on the edge Of the lake, and three

excellent condition.
All together, the races were held under
the brightest auguries, and their success
was assured even before the start was
made. Mr.. Richmond Lewis, the presi-
dent of the club, had worked indefatig
ably to make the event a success. both
from a sporting and a social standpoint,
and he succeeded even beyond his own
expectations.
The entries in the various events were
confined to members of the Lakeside
Wheel Club, but there were some fast
races and some exceedingly close finishes.
The gymkhana races were all exceedingly
amusing, and altogether most enjoyable
evening was spent by those who went out
to view the races.
The members Of the club and their lady
friends did not end their enjoyment OF
the occasion with the races. but extended
their pleasure throughout the evening,
going out TO the clubhouse. where re-
freshments were served, and after supper

The Lees, hypnotists, will begin an
engagement for the entire week at the

These hypnotists were here last October

many new features.
Hypnotism IS now a recognized Silence
in the United States, being taught in
nearly all the leading medical colleges
and universities, among them being Har-
ward. Yale, Princeton. the Johns Hop
kins University, and Ne1 York Post
Graduate Hospital. 1t Is not only Of great
value in surgery, and in the alternating
of pain, but in the hands of a skilful ope-
rator can be used in giving a very in
teresting, instructive. and laughable en-
tertainment. OF this latter class the
Lees are said to rank as the foremost
practitioners OF the world.
The Lees. during their weeks engage
ment, will present, besides the balloon
ascension, yacht race, baseball-ball game,
and their first part minstrel with
wash-tubs and wooden pals for drums.

derful experii ent they have ever pre-
scented.
During their engagement the Lees will
give a limited number Of the private
hypnotic parties that became such fad
here during their previous visit. They
make no charge for these parties. all
they ask is a party of not less than
twenty-five ladies and gentlemen. Appli-
cations for these seances should be made
at once TO the box Office.

The umbrella race followed this one.

An exceedingly common and dam
gerously significant condition.
A warning which must be needed,
or, as with the express train
which fails TO regard the dan
ger signal, disaster must follow.
A sure indication Of thin, weak, i'm
poverished blood. A certain ed
monition that the blood Is not
properly feeding the nerves, It's
sues and organs of the body.
An imperative demand for the tonic,
vitaIizing effect or Hoods Sarsa-
parilla upon the blood.
Weak, nervous, tired men and wom-
en- are found everywhere. Men
strive too hard to "keep their
ends up" women too anxiously
work "on their nerves" to meet
the demands of home and society
all have too little sleep, and the
excessive drain on strength and
nervous energy will soon COM
pletely ruin health.
The strength must be built up by pure
blood, and the nerves must also
find in pure blood the proper nerve
food. For this purpose nothing
equals Hoods Sarsapsrilla.
The thousands of wonderful cures it
has accomplished, the like Of
which no other medicine and no
combination of medicines can
show, prove its curative merit;
prove that it has never been
equalled as a blood medicine;
prove that Hoods Sarsaparilla is
indeed the ideal spring medicine,
the best nerve and stomach tonic,
the one true blood purifier.

We have had a very large increase ia
membership during the past year. We
want to make this convention big sue

TO suggest that each delegate and alter

with him at least from three to five new
applications for membership, which he
will turn over to his State secretary, or
be prepared TO announce that he has Sc
cured such a number which he has turn
Cd over TO his State secretary prior to his
departure. We believe this can be accom-

mates will put their shoulders TO the
wheel and accomplish this, that these an
nouneements will infuse an extra amount
OF enthusiasm and good feeling in the
convention and produce very good ef-
