 An Ideal Trip.
 So far. say the members of the par ty, the sail has been delightful. Not a single storm of consequence has been Weathered and there have been few delays, the longest one occurring when they were laid up by the fallen canal bridge at Adams Basin on Fri. day, for period of 24 hours. The craft travels only by daylight, stop ping at convenient ports for the night and remaining for several days in the larger cities and places of especial in terest, in order that the tourists may have an opportunity to visit them. Among places visited so far have been Cleveland, Port Huron, Detroit. Towas. Put In Bay and Buffalo.
 The travellers are also we'll equip ped fer fishing expeditions, and the rods and lines in the party have been freely angled wrere the prospects for their haul were good

 The Amohalko is run by 30-horse power Holiday gas engine, has con- bined dining and reading room spa cious and convenient sleeping apart ments, a thorough equipped kitchen, and is lighte dby electric incandas- cent by storage batteries, which arc charged with the engine motor.
 MT. Trulock, the owner of the craft, is a business man of Ell Reno. He was a manufacturer of artificial ice.
