LAKE MINNIE lONKA

L This Is the season of q daily procession, of
picnic parties at the lake, and although the.
excursionist Of a day has not been treated
very amtably by the weather man In the
past week, conditions have not altogether
precluded enjoyment. Spring Park seems to
be favored with the largest share of the pic
MICS on account Of it's accessibility to both
the trains and the boats. Roswell Park and
Lake Park, however, get considerable
share. and Excelsior gets the parties espec-
| tally interested in sports, on account Of the
bicycle track and ball ground ,t..f
| The Puritan and its barge and the George
are enjoying their harvest time, for they are
having almost daily picnic parties and even
| Ing moonlight excursions. The Mayfower,
| Fannie L.. and Victor get many of the scat
tering parties on their regular trips, and all
| OF the small boats catch some Of the char
| ter parties or the picnickers who want to flock
| by themselves in small groups.
| The principal picnic yesterday was the cele-
bration of Midsummer Day by the Angus
| tana Lutheran church and the Young Peoples
| society at Spring Park. After the arrival of
