LAKE HOPATcONG RIPPLES.

Previous years with the passing OF
Labor day this resort seemed as il the
very lake opened and the people all
dropped In, then it closed again, leav-
ing the yJlace deserted. This year
seems farl different. A great many
cottages, campers and hotel guests
| principally those having school child
4 rem have indeed returned, but others
are finding out that September is one
lof the prettieSt months at this resort
on the calander and are staying it out.
This may be somewhat due to the
new home of the Lake Hopatcon9
Yacht club being kept open. Hereto
fore with the last boat over The line
In the annual Labor day races Yacht
Iclnb activities stopped. But this year
the clubs activities do not stop until
October l. The hotels are retaining
their Orchestras from one to two
weeks longer for dancing and enter
ment and altogether the sight OF man
is not curiosity as it has been in pre-
vi0uS years.

i Considerable improvement will be
made at NOlan's ROint during the fall
to facilitate the handling of launches
in loading and unloading from the
cars. The Central railroad expects to
run a spur to near the north end of
the ice house where thirty foot plat
form will be constructed at the end
and side OF the track. From this a
marine railway will be built from the
platform into the lake so that launches
may be let down directly from the
car, upon the railway into the lake.
