CEDAR POINT.
Delightful Summer Resort
Opens for the Season.

Cedar Point, one of the most de-
lightful summer resorts along the
chain of inland seas, was opened to
the public on Saturday last.
BY special invitation of Manager
Boeckling, newspaper men of Toledo,
Cleveland, Columbus and other cities
of the State were invited to visit the
Point and be the guests of the COM
pany at a banquet.
Commodore Gunckel of the Lake
Shore r. r, personally conducted a
special train conveying the Toledo
Press Club and their ladies to San
dusky City and to Cedar Point,
where the visitors were shown
around the Point and given an excel
lent opportunity to observe its many
features of interest as a Summer re-
sort. The hotel, the bathing beech,
the dancing pavilion, the theatre, the
spacious dining hall, and scores of
other features calculate to make it one
of the most beautiful resorts along
Lake Erie's shores.
For over two hours about 250 news
paper men and ladies who were
seated at the elegantly appointed
tables in the great dining hall, were
dined, wined and toasted in man
ner that would make a prince wish
himself newspaper man in order to
enjoy such truly regal entertainment.
The elegant entertainment of the
newsworkers was only a sample of
the royal manner in which money has
been expended to make Ceder Point
a charming place to visit-every op,
portunity is offered for rest and en-
joyment, or the jolliest kind of a
time the visitors heart may desire.
The members of Toledo Press Club
are indebted to the Lake Shore R. R
and Commodore Gunckel for the
courtesy of delightful ride to San
dusky and return. During greater
portion of the trip the train made
time from three to five seconds better
than a mile minute.

RECEPTION TO GRADUATES.

On Thursday evening the class of
'0i gave the graduating class a fare
well reception. The lower halls of
the school building were tastefully
decorated in royal purple and white,
the colors of '03, and in red and
white, the colors of '04. The refresh
ment tables were adorned with cut
flowers and when the two classes
gathered with the High School teach
ers about them, there was gay
company of merry hearts This last
social gathering increased the genial
good feeling OF the members of both
classes. There were number of
good toasts given, Joe Meyer re-
sponded for '03 to the farewell given
by Myra Anon of '04. Everett Neifer
told the history of '03 as only a mem
Der of '04 could tell it. The z. H. S."
was the theme of Miss Eva Craw-
ford's toast and The Teachers" of
Wright Pargellis's. Both the p. H.
S. and its teachers received some un-
usual words of praise. We are glad
to see such loyal spirit and such
good fellowship among those who so
recently figured as flag rivals, as was
shown in this reception.

Mrs. Geraldine Banks, widow, OF
Chicago and her daughter Dorothy
were at Rye Beach. Mrs. Banks had
enough money-something like three
millions-to make her last name cmin-
emily fitting. Her father, who had
made fortune in Transforming rank
Chicago fat into delicate French soap,
had given her the millions outright
at her marriage with John Banks, now
deceased.
Father and daughter didn't see each
other often in the latter days. They
moved in different social circles. Mrs.
Banks had a great gray stone palace
within sound of the lashing lake
waters, while the father preferred to
live in something little bigger than a
cottage under the very shadow of the
chimneys and within smelling range
so to speak. of the factory that had
brought him his fortune.
Dorothy Bnaks was delightfully."-
pretty. aristocratic looking withal, and
as sweetly disposed toward humanity
in general as a girl possibly could be
whose mother was constantly remind
ing ner of her station in life and that
the Eoi-polloi We're interesting chiefly
at distance. Mrs. Banks wished her
daughter to marry. as she put it, a
gentleman and a man of lineage.
There came to Rye Beach that sum-
ner young Peabody Standish Of Boston.
He was G Harvard man and one whose
ancestors names had been borne on
the rolls of that school ever since
John Harvard's day. Now. Peabody
Standish was a fine young fellow, athle.
which New England fogs and frosts
had failed to chill.
Peabody Standish and Dorothy Banks
met. The Boston man liked the beauty
and the breeziress of the western
girl, and Dorothy, with never
thought of what her mother had said
about aristocracy, liked the eastern
man for himself
1t is perhaps needless to say that
Mrs. Banks looked on approvingly.
The young fellow from Boston
fingered longer at Rye Beach that
summer than he had intended. He
knew in a general way who Mrs.
Banks Of Chicago was, for he had
bit of law business with Chicago
client in which some of the Banks
holdings had figured. He didn't make
any inquiries. Had he momentarily
felt so inclined a lcoE at Dorothy
would have checked him, for she was
sweet and winsome enough to make
up for a family skeleton in every
closet of Chicago mansion.

breaking up services at the various
churches Sunday evening. The con.
gregations that evening were the live.
Hest ever seen in La Grange. The
young girls with short skirts were
kept busy scratching. their lower
limbs; the ladies wearing thin waists
gave their attention to their shout
ders, while the men with scanty sup
plies of hair were entertaining their
cousins at luncheon on the tops of

Option on majority of the canal
boats in good condition now operating
on the Erie canal have been secured
by representatives of the Inland
Transportation company of New York,
which, if the consent of the legisla-
ture can be secured, intends to put
into effect a new system of canalboat
propulsion.
The canal fleet, which once num-
bered 1000 boats. has dwindled now
to about 700 servlceable vessels, and
of these only about 400 are fit to carry
grain. If the promoters of the new
scheme can get permit from the
state to use their system on the
canals, it is their purpose to acquire
all the boats that are available, al
though the towing system will be open
to all canal boat owners at price
which will be far lower than the cost

The baseball fever is no respectel

there is some little interest when it

sometimes goes very high.
