Lake Placid Y, Aug tSpecial).-"1ou can
put me in a bathtub If you want to; I'm mere 10
stav" said a decided looking man, somewhat back
in the line Of arrivals waiting to register al
the Stevens House the other day
The clerk was explaining the congested state OF
affairs 10 the throng Of dust covered travellers
and what he had to say was no fabrication. Au-
gust is August. rain or no rain, at the stevens
and the annual rush this season, although little
rain soaked thunder deafened and lightning dent
ed is the same old August rush. In every available
spot the big hotel structure in the annex on the
hillside in the cottages ranged about on all sioes
il is the same story over again; nothing nut pleas
ure seeking humanity.
The increase in numbers means. of course in
creased social activity, and when the weather Is
halfway decent there isn't spot or pasture thaI
gets half hours rest. Golf? Why even the
babies play it, There was a rafting good game
plaved the other day with the Placid Club team
when the other lost. and again later in the
week a return match played with the Nhte-
face Inn team.
Another interesting golf event was the four
ball match Tuesday. between G. A Stevens and
H S. Naylor. representing the Stevens House, and
Messrs Conkling and Butts from the Placid Club
The bad weather of the last few days made it
impossible play off the tennis match arranged
for last week The entries are Mrs Ash ana Dr-
Ash Miss Naylor and Mr.. McConvile, Miss Brad
ley and MI Fleming and Miss Hunter and NJ
Pearsal.
The special legislative committee on forests that
is touring the Adirondacks stopped over al me
Stevens House for luncheon early in the week and
made the trip around Lake Placid in one Of the
launches. The legislators made note of the TACT
that no one has moved Whiteface, that trees stu
insist upon growing. and after rafting good meal
went away in a downpour Of rain. Colonel w r.
Fox ot Albany. State superintendents OF forests
was with the party.
At Saranac Lake Colonel Fox showed the com
rnittee what the State is doing in the way OF
propagating young trees Before reaching the
Stevens House the party visited the Cornell School
of Forestry but none of them had opinions TO eN-
press upon the work there. From the stevens
House the party went TO the Adirondack reserve
near St. Ruberts Inn

interested, the open air basketoaL natcI
