and the "LOOk Out Committee re-
ported that with disposition to
provide constant source of interest
for the public, the railroad company
had made arrangements to run their
trains sometimes to the Steamboat
Landing and at other times to the
regular station, and to make a con-
undrum as to which would be done.
In this way interest would never
flag and it would be so very anus
ing to guess which way it would be.
One member failed to see anything
funny in it and undertook speech
but was promptly called to order.
The committee said that with un-
paralelled goodness no schedules
were to be issued so that the guess
ing circles could be extended to take
in the question of when trains would
run and at what hours.
1t was also reported that the site of
the Lilley Pond was in first class
condition to hunt for minnows and
tadpoles for fishing purposes, a num-
ber of mud holes being reserved for
that special purpose. The commit
tee was instructed to report farther
at the next meeting.
The chair announced that with /
determination to urge forward the
substantial improvement of the
place "The Business Mems League"
had subscribed seventy-five dollars
towards the construction of a side
walk to the station, and work will be
commenced at an early day. 1t was
advised that vote of thanks should
be returped by the Post Office Club
but some one suggested that it would
be better that the Club should emul-
late such IA progressive example by
arranging for fund to further other
public improvements. A subscrip-
ton being started, upwards of a
dollar was raised. The difficulty
then was to agree on a treasurer as
each member of the Club was am
bilious for the office. Some high
words followed which led to Post
master Peale and Chief Burgess
Ingham ordering the Club off the
lawn for that evening at least.
A number of special policemen
have been installed for this season
and at they will probably all be
members of the Club it is fair to ex-
pect that good order will be pre-
served at all future meetings.
A COMMITTEE on Sidewalks" was
appointed to look after the eXpendI-
ture of the s9venty-tive dollars con-
tributed for the new sidewalk to
the station. This committee will
investigate the need of improvement
of this kind in all parts of the Bor-
ough and arrange to have such cases
brought before the Business Mems
League so that subscriptions can be
taken with the same liberality.
A large excursion party arrived
here on Saturday from all points on
the w. a. N. b. railroad south of
Sonestown. No particular difficulty
was experienced in provididg for the
people who boarded the steamer en-
their arrival and filled the cash box
with fares. This was the first trip
for the steamer and was an augury
for a profitable season on the Lake.
Mrs. c. c. McCormik of New
York has opened her cottage and il

more serious.
