the scene of many a holly contested

The cottages on the East and West

cral Of their owners are planning to

The lake is now Il paradise for the

Iu;te,l With large number of row.

IT,. best catches have been made there.

To take hold well.
This year. Applcwond Tavern is again
,uenCd ana successful season is as
surcd to it under the management of
Mr.. and Mrs. W. II. Johnson.
The many friends Of Mr.. L. II. Ham
mond are glad to hear that he has al
most entirely recovered from his illness
and is now enjoying his former good
health.
Mr.. Harlow has opened Hotel Pines
at Island Park and will be ready to
cater to the public, at the beginning Of
the week
Herscy's Island Park theatre will
open Oh the first Of July. The Fenberg
Stock Company is the company that
has been engaged by Mr.. Hersey for
the summer Mr.. Hersey was indeed
very fortunate i'll securing this well
known ana successful comp@ny. A fca-
ture Of the company is the ladies' or
chestra. Miss O'Neil. who has gained
an enviable reputation by her cornet
playing, will conduct it. Another fea-
ture will be the specialties between the
acts.
A change for the better will be that
this summer nearly the whole stage
will be used for the production Of the
plays. as the scenery of the FenbcrS
Company requires this.
A great Improvement has also been
made in the arrangement of the seats
at the theatre. The seats have all been
raised to good and uniform pitch. so
that one can see the stage equally well
from any seat n the theatre.
The dances, which won so much pop
ularity last year, will be held at least
twice a week this year, and the music
will be furnished by the Ladies Or
cheStra.
All indications point to very pros
perous season for the theatre and it
has we'll deserved the success it has
gained in the past seasons.
The coming of warm weather and the
closing of the schools will quickly fill
up the different cottages, and in a few
weeks the summer season will be at
full tide along the lakes shores.
