OUTING IN JUNE
Cruise This Year Will Be To GeOr-
gian Bay-Special Entertainment
Features To Be Provided.

The Board OF Commences annual
cruise this year will be to Georgian
bay. This has been definitely decided
on after considering number or
plans. The D.. & c.. steamer City OF
Cleveland has been chartered for the
trip and will leave Detroit Friday aft
eTnoon June 10, and return late on
the night OF June IL.
The first stop will be a sheltered
harbor at the upper end OF Parry
sound. the entrance to the picturesque
part OF the bay where the 10000 ISL
ands are located. The Cleveland
draws too much water and is too wide
to prowl among the numberless isles
and through the tortuous channels. so
transfer OF passengers will be made
70 'he steamer Waubic OF the North
ern Navigation Co. Al the end OF the
days run through the sound, the
Cleveland will pick her passengers
and start home.
A Board OF Commerce cruise would
not be complete without the entertain
ment features that have characterized
previous outings. Just what the com
mittee has outlined Is not being dis
closed. but II Is enough to say that
the program will probably include a
minstrel performance Allied with local
color. the Orpheus club and an or
chestra will be on board and that
there will be new, stars In addition to

FRESHMEN WIN FROM
M. OF NJ. S0PH0M0REs
Heavyweight Team Pulls Rival Group
Through Icy Waters Of Huron
River In II Seconds.

ANN ARBOR, Mich, May l4.-lt
took the freshman heavyweight team
just II seconds to pull its rivals, the
sophomores, through the icy waters OF
the Huron in the tug-of-war yesterday
afternoon. The two bands OF tug.
gers" were grouped on opposite sides
OF the stream, across which a heavy
rope was stretched.
The referee fred his pistol and then
the sides began to pull. Splash! In
went the first sophomore up to his
waist. Another instant and another
man was in the water. The freshmen
were pulling steadily. Then a sopho-
more stubbed his toe and went out OF
sight. He was helped to his feet, but
by that time the first flag was across
the river and the contest was finished.
About five thousand spectators
viewed the struggle from the banks.
They crowded the hills overlooking
the river and cheered for the victors.
The sophomores were successful in the
event which was won after
a long struggle.
