Editor Evening News,
Dear Sir.
The cherub and her party found
Chicago to be very hot aud dirty dur
ng our stay and felt very much reliev-
cd when on the morning of July 10Th,
at A. NJ we passed ont of the break
water and out into Lake Michigan
bound across the lake to the harbor of
st. Joseph's Mich, 68 miles from Chi
cago. Tho lake was in peaceful
mood and our early morning run
acros the cool clear water was a
great change for us after being in
Chicago for the last two days. There
was hardly a ripple the entire dis
tance and we reached st. Josephs
harbor about 10.30 A. M. and lay up
in snug little harbor along side of a
iyke for the rest of the day, which
was spent IN seeing the town.. st.
10 ephs is city Of about 5000 p ople
and is situated OH bluff overlooking
Lake Michigan and 10 connected by
a trolley line and river with tho
town of Benton Harbor. city of
5000 people about Q miles from St.
Josephs. There are two lines of
steamers running to Chicago from St.
Josephs and Benton Harbor aud n
large number of people come here to
escape the heat of the .olty of Chica-
go and there are some fine hotels and
boarding houses, we'll filed with sum
mer boarders. A fine avenue we'll
paved. with large trees on both sides
of it and public park elevated about
100 feet above and overlooking the
lake to. the westward with a large
bathing beach and pavilion filled with
pleasure seek ers, lying ut the foot Of
the hills ns the sun went down into
tue lake ut sunset made most beauti-
full picture We enjoyed the SUI set
and then took the trolley to Benton
Harbor and then returned to the yacht
at 3 p. M. We found plenty of visi-
tors in the shape of mosquitoes await :
ing us on our return to the yacht but
as we had taken the precaution to
have the cabin we'll protected by not
ting they did not get much Jeysoy
blood from MS.
July Goth. We made an carly start
! intending to go to South Haven some
80 miles farther north up the lake
but found when we got out into the
lake that the waves were too high for
comfort 50 we turned about and
ran back to our quiet harbor, and
laid up Tor the balance of the day. It
was cool and pleasant with a fresh
/, west wind coming over the lake and
we had time to sea the sights of both
towns, during the day and evening.
July 21st We. got under way at
8. 80 A. M. and ran ont into the lake.
On our way north we found tho wind
from the north west coming down the
lake against us with quite little
sen running, but we kept on our way
until 9 P. M, when we ran into
break water at South Haven and re-
ceived a good shaking up for old Mi
chigan in the Gross Seas at the en-
trance to the harbor.
We found a little river flowing
into the lake at South Haven it was
filed with boats of all sizes from q
gasoline launch to an ocean steamer
and crowd of people on pleasure bent
Tied up to little dock near n mer-
ry go round, with an organ that could
play one tune only md a part OF
tnat had bad cold, but our usual
good luck prevailed as there was sc
few people riding on it that it shut uI
shop soon after it started and we were
duly thankful therefor. South Haven
seems to be kept alive by the excur-
sion trade from Chicago, there are 0
