the Fourth-SOciaI Events of the
Past Week at the Park.


WARSAW, Ind, June H.-The regular
summer visitors at Winona Lake are now
arriving by the hundreds and the park is
again assuming the appearance of beau
tiful spot for rest and recreation. Until the
present time this year, the crowd at the
assembly has varied daily from several
hundred to several thousand persons. but
now the crowd is coming to stay, and 1t is
expected that a much larger number of peo-
pie will spend the summer in the cottages
and hotels at Winona than ever before.
The social gatherings, for which Winona is
noted, are already numerous, considering
the population of the park. The annual
Sunday school excursion, given by the
schools of Elwood and adjoining cities, will
come to Winona this year for the first time,

Lake Maxinkuckee. This will be one of
the largest excursions of the summer. Word
was received to-day that the Pittsburg del
egation to the International Christian En-
deavor convention, which meets in Denver
in July, will stop off at Winona for several
hours. The officials are preparing for the
biggest Fourth of July celebration this
year in the history of the park and the
programme is one of especial interest to
lovers of outdoor sports. In the afternoon
