NIGHT - "CAMP CHRONICLE"
TELLS OF THE polNGs DURING
THE PAST WEEK.

The Y, M. C. A. boys summer camp
at Lake Cormorant broke camp at l
o'clock this afternoon and started on
the jaunt to Lake Park, where they
will take the train. It is expected
that they will reach the city this even
ing.
The "Y" camp this year has been
the most successful ever held. In
point Of numbers it is second only to
the 1908 camp. Thirty-on boys have
spent ten days at the camp and, IN
addition to having a good time them
selves, nave done much to make pos
sible a better time next season.
The local Y. M. C. A. owns thirty
seven and one-half acres of land on
Lake Cormorant. This includes more
than two blocks of sand beach. I'm
der the direction of L, E.. Goodwin,
who had charge of the camp this year,
a slough just back of the camp from
the lake has been drained, rlowed and
sowed to millet. Next summer it viii
be sowed to grass and a large athletic
field will be laid out on it. Tennis
courts n a baseball lamon thus
will become a fact.
The regular edition of "The Camp
Chronicle" which tells Of the doings
at the camp the past week, reached
the city this morning. 1t gives a
graphic picture Of camp life:

Visitors Beginning to Arrive.
This afternoon the camp was de"
lightfully surprised by the appearance
Of Mr.. Clarence Land and Mr.. Chas.
Dawson, both of the w. J. Lane real
estate agency. Tomorrow is visitors
day and we expect many of our friends
to come, but we expect none who will
please us more than these.
DR.. Bonnie will preach at church at
II o'clock, Vespers at 6.
Big Water Carnival.
This afternoon we had a big, mag
nif1cent, stupendous, a~we-inspiring
water carnival. The great features
Of the event were a swim to the Island
a spoon n an egg race and a swim to
the point. The swim to the island,
about half a mile, was made by Hon
son and Keye. Bobby Mack swan
back. Grubby Clap came in second
in the egg and spoon race. He show
ed excellent form and agility and fin
ished beautifully. Billy Mac got first.
There was nobody else in the race.
Joe Aldrich was the only n to swim
to the point, about a mile. Joe Is some
swimmer, believe us.
Prof. Is Abused.
Prof. Scanlon today had to leave
his scientific invention and wash
| dishes. But he didn't wash in vain,
for his famous talking machine did
not stop while he was working. On
the contrary he learned how to in
crease the speed and he now declares
that 1t won't take more than four or
five years more to complete the ma
chine.
You can get kisses at Bennie's, but
you don't have to kiss Bonnie.
Candy Come to Camp.
This morning Grubby received a five
pound box of candy and Chas. LOOMS
received a ten-pound box of h same
dope. These boxes were sent by the
kids sisters. The candy was swell and
disappeared very swiftly. If anybody
knows a pretty girl who wants an
| agreeable brother tell her I want a
sister awfully bad.
! If you want any nice tender ducks
| go to Mons or Corbert, and they will
gladly throw them in the lake.
Monster kiIIek.
Today Sir Bonnie killed the terrible
monster that King Arthur Upshaw
caught yesterday. The beast had been
hanging up by it's hind legs all night
and the knight drew his trusty blade
l ana WITH one l6IElDl6 S"OOp DSESdu-
ed the horrible thing. He then cut 1t
up and put away. Tomorrow is the
time when we will have turtle soup.
UNI! UNI!
We have an old stock Of cracker
jacks which we will sell at the re-
duced price Of $4.10. Bonnie & Co.

Hale and Webster and Smith hiked to
Lake Park to prove to certain members
of the camp that they could do It

trip in two hours and a half. When
they got back, about a quarter of one
they were 80 kind as to have a fourth
Of July celebration n wake us up
Mr.. Goodwin says that he has bought
about four pounds OF kisses SO thal
these gentlemen wont have to walk tc
Lake Park to get them. VIA was hel

Editorial.
We wish merely to state that thu
hook behind the pump Is not to look
at, but to hang the cup on. So when
you get through drinking don't see how
far you can pitch the cup, but hang II
on the hook so that someone else viii
be able to find 1t.
We are having a fine time. We heart
someone say today that they weren't
having a good time. Now If o aren't
having a good time abroad your owr
fault. Get into the baseball, swimming
hiking and other activities and forge
you crouch.
