Saturday evening was announced a
potato race-that is-potatOes ar
ranged in rows on the floor of large
room at equal distances from each 9TH
spoon. bringing one at a time and
dropping them into basket placed at

Point from which may be seen the
most picturesque portion of the lake.
Campers" is reached by many well
worn and circuitous paths through the
intervening woods. Around a cottage
occupied by Mrs. Davis. son and
daughter were birds and squirrels so
tame that they seemed unmindful of
our presence. The incident was pleas
antly explained by the words I'VE feed
them" The seats. built on the
wharvcs. occupied by the cottagers,
reading or sewing. the pleasure boats
dotting the lake in every direction and
being rowed leisurely along the shore
and the tame birds and animals all be-
token quiet enjoyment and happiness.
