Outing Places for Ham
mondites Who Leave
City.
IN EVERY DIRECTION
Cedar Lake, Bass Lake, Crown Point
and Other Points Will Draw
Crowds From Hereabouts.

''Where will you spend the
Fourth?" is the one question before
the people today and tomorrow.
Crown Point promises to to be the
most attractive place in Lake
County next Wednesday, and the ar
rangement committee there has
taken pains to prepare suitable
program and announce it to tha
people.
AS for Hammond it will be dead,
with the exception of its Lake
Front Park and the smaller resorts
along the lake.
Crown Point. Cedar Lake, St.
John, La Porte and Michigan city
will be outing places for Hammond-
ties, who can possibly leave the
city.
Contrary to the custom that city
people look toward the country
while the latter look toward the
city on holidays. the country people
prefer open air on the Fourth.
They will not go to the cities. And
for that reason Hammond cannot
make itself attractive on that day.
Cedar Lake viii be the Mecca for
thousands of Chieagoaps. Mo- IN
Park will be thrown open seasShe
pleasure seekers. while the balance
will spend the day on the East Side
at Lassen's pavilion st. John. OF
course, will hold it's own this year.
like it always has, during the past
thirty years. Its central location
brings young and old from Hammond
Dye Hobart, Crown Point and from
q whole farming region with a
radius of three miles. Koehle's
excellent dancing pavilion is one OF
the best in the country and many
of the younger people know It.
Merrilville and Hebron have also
made arrangements to entertain the
people of their surrounding coun-
tries. Baseball. games racing,
dancing and fire works will be some
of the attractions there.
La Porte will claim a number of
fans who go with the Hammond
team to that city for q baseball
game.
Michigan Council of knights OF
Columbus has extended an invitation
to the Hammond Council, which the
latter has accepted. The local coun-
ell tried to get special train from
Hammopf to Michigan City. but fall
ed account of every available car
icing pressed into the general pas
senger service.
OF all the towns in this county
Crown Point has made the most
formal and presentable program. 1t
is as nearly according TO the old time
celebrations as automobile and bicy-
Gle races will allow.
Another difference from the old
time. celebration is the fact that
t Crown Point will be dry" although
i the historic red lemonade will be
t very much in evidence.
Lake Co. offers enough places on
J the Fourth for a days outing either
4 in some secluded hamlet, along the
S shady banks of some water or in the
E crowd that is out for time"
s The following program will take
: place at Crown Point:
The day being given over to
: patriotic music. oratory and clean
r sports. Merry-go-round and like de-
: vices for the amusement Of the young
\ folks viii be in evidence. A synop-
