Wishfully I look, and languish,In that bonnie face o' thine;

And my heart it stounds wil anguish,Lest my wee thing be na mine.

The Memorable 28th—Norman—Oessler Brothers—Bigenuf—Pilcher—Pisek— Shannon—The Hop—

A Compliment to "The Angler."The Lake Hopatcong Club may well be proud of the success it

made of the events on Saturday, July 28, 1894. The day was per-fect and the sweet faces of the ladies dressed in pure white and be-decked with crimson gave evidence of the enthusiasm that filledthe hearts of the people on this day of sports at Lake Hopatcong.Long before the hour for starting the races boats flying the colorsof the club began to arrive at the new Breslin pier. The ImperialRussian Orchestra, Ivan Schotoff, director, dispersed many pieces'of choice mnsic, among which were some familiar national airs.The club furnished for the occasion an elaborate program oftwenty-two pages, printed on a fine woodcut paper in a russet,brown ink. The front cover page displayed a unique design of theclub pin in colors. The inside pages contained the officers of theclub, program of events,, officers of the day, and neatly displayedadvertisements. The entire fourteenth page was devoted to THEANGI/ER, and was a compliment from the club,. It was a completesurprise and was highly appreciated. It was tastefully displayedand read: ^"Have you seen THE ANGEER ? Perhaps you.don't-know about it, but you should. It is bright and interesting andgives you all the local news. One dollar,for the season. A.: Van'Doren Taylor, editor, Hopatcong, N. J." . - , . . . • . - , .

Mayor Frothingham, Manager Stearns, and Mr. Robert Dunlapwent about the crowd wearing smiles of welcome and giving thehand-shake to old comrades and friends. Mr. H. A. Groesbeck, ofNew York, was present with his camera taking views of the events.The club and friends will be remembered after the negatives aredeveloped. Mr. Groesbeck will be kno\vn as being formerly asso-ciated with Mr. Macy and Mr. Pendleton in Camp Bigenuf. ...

The only lady pilot of a steam launch at the lake is Mrs.Howard P. Frothingharn.. An exhibition of her skill was dis-played on this occasion as she skimmed about the lake in The.Crescent and landed frequently at the pier without ajar or discom-fort to her party. One must know it requires a bit of skill to pilota steamboat among such a crowd of small boats successfully; slillthe joys of life lie largely in being at the helm. May this estimablelady pilot many parties through life's waters as successfully as shedid on this occasion. The party consisted of Mr. James S. Bur-dette, the noted humorist and reader and wife and daughter, MissWright, Mr. Jack Walsh, Mr. Thomas Walsh, Rev. A. H. Brown,Mr. P. G. Williams, Miss Lillian Frothingham, Mrs. Thomas Kerr,and Nellie, the favorite fox terrier.

The beautiful steam launch Estelle of Col. Albert Tilt con- •tained a merry party consisting of the host and Mrs. Tilt, MissTilt, Masters Bennie, Bertie and Willie Tilt, Col. Conger, Mrs.Hobert Scott, Mr. Raynor, Miss Freeman and Mr. and Mrs. F. M.G r a y . • • • ' • • • ' • - . - ' •; • •

Mr. S, S. Sargeant, we are pleased to note, enjoyed the eventsin this launch Collette. He has had a slight illness. The partywas composed of the family and friends.

The Anita was at the command'of Mr. R. E. Cogan, of RiverStyx, and contained the host and Mrs. Cogan, Mr. and Mrs, M. F.Moore, and Mr. and Mrs. MacQuoid.

Capt. Spencer, with the F. W. Zuck, carried a very enthusi-astic party from the cottages of Mr. R. L. Edwards, Mr. Price, Mr.Pilcher, Mr. Robinson and Dr. Gessler. .

Mr. George W. Campbell was also making it pleasant for hismany friends. The G. L. Bryant had a lively party, conspicuousamong whom were Captain W. F. Pendleton, and judges BenjaminWright, R. H. Stearns, and T. L. Lutkins ; Mrs. Campbell, Mrs.John Gordon, Mrs. W. S. Pierson, a party from Nolans Point"Villa, and Superintendent Edwards.

The loo-yard swimming race was given to Mr. Max Normanand was a masterly feat. The other contestants were C. A. Wain-wright and Fred. Emil Meyer. The prize was a silver flask andpresented by Mayor Frothingham. It is a beauty and is calculatedto carry "bait" for two.

The half-mile tandetn paddling race for canoes was taken bythe Gessler brothers in canoe Psi Upsilou. Dr. Carter and 0. H.Aldred in canoe Pokeokeo paddled a tight race, but the boys havenot breathed the air of Lake Hopatcong all these years fornothing. It was a novel scene as they approached, almost facingthe crowd. The Gessler brothers, kept the same stroke, whileCarter and Aldred alternated sides. It was a little "brush" theboys were after.

The boys' swimming race was won by James Pilcher, he out-swimmhig the other starters very easily. George W. Knight wasthe youngest contestant by four years, but did remarkably well.The prize was a silver.chain, locket and pencil. The..other con-testants were -.Joseph G. Shaunon.W. S. Schlussel, Robert Ewart,and Harry Altenbrand. • ; . . • • ,

The five-mile naphtha launch race was the excitement of theday. ; The Bigenuf; Olga and Minerva circled about the cove untilthe time-gong sounded, then made for the scoring line. TheBigenuf reached the line first and started on the five-mile triangu-lar course. The Olga and Minerva followed in quick succession.The entire course could not be observed from the pier but as theracers appeared in close proximity off Chestnut Point it was observedBigenuf was still ahead, although the Olga was crowding very close.The excitement ran high and as Bigenuf crossed the line the colorswaved, the ladies shouted and Mayor Frothingham and StarterHosier rang the time-gong loud and long. Mr. Macy attended theengine and Mr. Pendleton was at the wheel. As they crossed theline Mr. Pendelton picked up the mascot, Swipes, a brindle bullpup, which crouched on the coited painter on the bow deck andpatted him on the back. He was patriotic and wore the colorsabout his neck.. Swipes is a thoroughbred, eight weeks old, ofunmistakably good blood. His father belonged to the Duke ofWestminster's celebrated kennel, and has taken more than fiftyprizes. .As Mr. Macy landed Mayor Frothingham and ManagerStearns buoyed him on their shoulders' across the pier; and theracers received the congratulations of the crowd.

The.hurry.-scurry race was a.run of 100 feet, swim of 100 feet,

The Trenton Cruising Club.The Trenton Cruising Clubts again situated on Bass Rock and

a handsomer camp is not on the shores of the lake at present.The members of the camp are Mr. I,. H. Johnson, decorator, ofTrenton ; Mr. Howard Blisard, of Philadelphia; Messrs. RobertM. Croasdale, Wm. Mawson and Samuel L. Mitchell, of Newton,Pa.; Mr. Charles Naylor, musician, of Trenton ; Mr. Alfred Bilee,reporter for Trenton Times; Mr. A. Hudnett, of Trenton. As wewere ushered into the first tent, which was that of Mr. Johnson,•we were surprised at the elegance of the interior decorations. Inthe front doorway are curtains of red oriental lace, and the interioris draped in white oriental, with a background of brown. Theground is covered with rugs and carpets, and the cots are all thatcould be desired anywhere. In front of the tent is an awning, ofyellow and brown striped fancy duck, and the fly is also of stripedduck, with a fanciful red border. The second tent is decorated inblue French cretonne with a blue and white striped awning in frontof it, and is also carpeted.

The third tent is draped with flags aud bunting, and hasla red,white and blue awning. The reception tent consists simply of alarge awning of blue and white, and has four large flags, drapedfrom the centre pole to the corners. The whole camp is decoratedwith flags, of which Mr. Johnson, -who furnishes all of the decora-tions, has about two hundred with him, including a beautiful setof flags of all nations. The kitchen is a part board and canvassshed, with a regular iron cook stove, over which presides a coloredchef. The dining table is covered with white oilcloth and is underanother fancy awning, and when spread for dinner shows cut glassand silver that would grace any banquet hall on the lake. Thelast of the tents is the store room in the rear of Mr. Lang's tent,and judging from the table spread in camp it must be wellsupplied. More members are expected up soon and we wish thema happy stay in their picturesque and comfortable camp.

Health and Sports.Some one has said, "Life would not be worth living were it

not for health and conscience." Physical development is there-fore something more than human grandeur. Rather as a predis-position than as a dire presence, disease is latent in all of us frombirth. Failure to fortify the body gives force to disorders that elsemight exhaust themselves, and we succumb to an inherited blightlong before we should. The neck, biceps and calves of a properlydeveloped person all measure alike. In choosing sports for thecure of a malady it is essential you consult your physician. Goingblind at an exercise is equally as foolish as prescribing for yourselfwhen you know nothing whatever about the effect of a drug onthe human system. Blood, and not bone or muscle, resists mala-dies. G-ymuastics demand more oxygen for the lungs, and oxygenpurifies and enriches the blood by renewing it. A uniform activityis what we want.

No one need be deterred from athletics because his frameseems unfit. Among the brightest exemplars of some one sportor another are men dissimilar in almost all physical points. Manypowerful wrestlers have been narrow in the the waist, and othershave lacked depth of chest. Men have often relinquished boatingbecause, having closely watched their chests, have not found themfuller. Although depth of lung certainly confers muscular power,we should not be disheartened at lack of bulk about the chest, Alarge chest does not always insure endurance. Exercise impartsgirth to chest sooner than depth.

Whoever seeks boating or other athletics for health does notneed to train. It will answer for him to be hygenic rather thanharsh, to sit in a shell without spilling, to dip without spasm andto lift without " crabbing," to shun pulling against the rudder,and to avoid halts and draughts when his shirt is wet. Excellentas the rowing machine is, it is not the boat, for exercise in theopen air and the sunlight is vivifying. The happiest and healthiest

of the human race are those who daily exercise in the opeu air,Danger comes in leaving off. Inheritance fails or wears out.

Fear of accident kills more people than all the mishaps of landand water combined. They who keep out of the water until theyhave learned to swim, die a slow death. No one else has so hap-pily hit off the risks in being alive at all as William Pitt, who wasin the navy when Barney Buutliue turned his quid and said to BillyBowline :

" Foolhardy chaps as lives in towns, what danger they are all in !E'eu now they're <ninkii>tf in their In'ils fur fear the roof will fall in.How often have we seumen heard how men arc killed nml undoneBy overturn in carriages, and thieves nnd fires in London.We've heard what risks all landsmen run, from noblemen to tailors;So, Bill, let IIK thank Providence that y<"> und 1 nre snilors ! "

WJ? HAD a social call from Mr. Jas. S. Burdett, the world-renowned hiimorest and render, 011 Thursday morning. Of coursehe is one of the most entertaining gentlemen on earth. He beganhis business! professionally in 1882 in New York. 1'revlous to thishe often traveled miles to give entertainments without compensa-tion, and then commenced at one dollar a night. The first realencouragement he received was from Hon. 1'nuik II . Hurd, ofToledo, Ohio, who was so pleased with young Ilunlett'H recitationshe gave him $100. These past thirteen years he has traveledthousands of miles and entertained millions of people. He hasgiven twenty-nine entertainments before the Kastuiau College,Poughkeepsie, N. Y., and to hundreds of other strongholds he isequally liked. He is a warm friend of Robert J. Burdette, editorof the Hawkeye, but not « relative. He loves the balmy air ofLake Hopatcotig and leaves his charming wife and little daughterhere the entire season, while he fills engagements throughout thecountry.

A Generous Qitt.The beautiful stone chapel in the Park at Mount Arlington can-

no longer be considered either a local or a temporary institution.The Park Association this summer most liberally presented theproperty to the Diocese ot Newark, aud Bishop Starkey will form-ally consecrate the church on Sunday, August 19th.

It is purposed tokeep on this good work through the entire year and to make St.Peter's Church the religious home of all Hopatcoug people at alltimes. Lakers in all parts should consider this picturesque chapeltheir own aud should take an active part in its affairs. It is notnecessary to be a cotnnmuicant of the Episcopal Church in orderto be an interested member of St. Peter's congregation; nor doesresidence or nou-residence in Mt. Arlington signify. The chapelis now the property of the church of God in this Diocese and allChristians within the district are equally interested in its mainten-ance and suceess. This little chapel and its work is an essential partof the completeness of Lake Hopatcoug, and we hope that all ourreaders will facilitate the success of St. Peter's by interested attend-ance at the services and by needed contributions to its financialsupport.

Raccoon Island.Messrs. Charles Pool and Samuel t>. Hartwell, of Somerville,

are at Camp Inglenook for the month of August.Mrs. Holland and son, Master Fred. Holland, and Miss Clarice

Decker, of Newark, arrived at Camp Eastlook last week. Thecamp speut Tuesday evening at the Keuilworth Club.

Mr. We.ssels, of the Poplars, has been entertaining his son,Mr. Prank Wessels aud his wife, for the past week. They havebeen enjoying the fishing greatly, catching over twenty bass lastTuesday. Mr. Wessels little dog Teddy is a great swimmer audtakes a swim every afternoon with Win, Magrath, the young cook.

Mr. Beunet's log cabin is occupied for August by a party fromPatersou. They are Principal Siduey Probert, Mr. and Mrs. GrantSipp, Miss Maggie Wright, Miss Loretta J. Kelly, Miss ElizabethKelly, Miss Mary Tuustill, Miss Ella Force, Mrs. Anna Probert,Assistant Prosecutor Muusen Force aud wife and daughter. Theyare a merry crowd of school teachers and are here for a good time.They expect frequent visitors from Patersou during their stay.

The recent arrivals at the Raccoon Island House are : Mrs. N.A. Merrit, Mr. W. W. Vreeland, of Newark ; Mr. A. L. Hauscomand family, Miss Hardy, Mr. and Mrs. J. R. Shoaff, Messrs. L. andS. Klopman, of New York ; Mr. C. W. Churchill, of Jersey City ;Mr. A. Flagg Van Pelt, of Morristown ; Rev. Guy Lawton, ofPhiladelphia; Mr. aud Mrs. Piersou and Miss L. A. Piersou, ofWestfield ; Mr. H. B. Peacock, of IJastou ; Miss Storm, of Allen-town ; Mr. G. S. Ackersou and Mr. G. A. Randall, of Hackeusack.

Mr. J. J. O'Neil has a curious stone at his cottage, which hefound in the water near his house a year or two since. It is acarved side relief of the head and bust of a man. The first thoughton seeing it is that it is the work of an Indian, but that idea wouldinvolve considerable speculation, as the Indians of New Jersey didnot carve anything, except the simplest tools. And again if doneby an Indian it must have been an idol, aud if an idol, could ithave been an Aztec production ? aud how did it get here? But allthese thoughts are dissipated upon a closer inspection, for then itis seen that the carving was done by the action of the waves uponthe stone.

This locality has same very curious freaks of nature to boastof. Some of its natural wonders are well worthy of general notice.On Raccoon Island, just back of the hotel is, perhaps, the mostremarkable of these. It is called the " Split Rock." A great massof rock, which must, when it was in one piece, have been aboutfifteen by twenty feet on the ground, aud twelve feet high. It issplit into four huge fragments by a hemlock tree growing up in themiddle of it. The tree is about three feet in diameter, and is deeplyindented on one side by one of the pieces, but is as straight as anarrow. The roots separate the fragments from the bed rock, andform great sinewy arms, that can be seen on top of the latter for

some distance in several places, and support the immense weightof rock on top of them without flattening in the least. The rock,like all of the inland was heavily seamed, and a hemlock must havestarted to grow in one of these fissures, and gradually, with agrowing force that could not be resisted, have forced the great rockto yield. The fragments now stand, with the tree in the centre,wide enough apart to permit a person to climb through them withease; and it is readily seen where they joined, as in some placesthey are still in partial contact. For a lover of nature's wonders,this rock is well worth coming to the lake to see. Its proportionsare so large, that it gives one an impression of the strength ofnature, that is remembered after the split rock is forgotten.

A Day With the Campers.Camp Flemington is again on the shore of Halsey Island, and

will remain through August. Its members are Mr. James B.Broadhead and sons, Dr. Swing and family, Judge Kuhl and MissReading, all of Flemington.

THE ANGLER.Woodport House.

A sail to the upper end of the lake on the Emily affords a verypleasant trip. This is a very desirable part of this summer resort,and many are the guests that avail themselves of its comforts. TheWoodport House is situated ou a little plane at the base of a ledgeof rock and overlooks the lake in a most picturesque manner. Itis known for the cool breeze that is always present on the hottestdays. It is plain iii architecture and finished in natural wood, con-tains fifty rooms, and is furnished throughout with the finest oakfurniture. The rooms are large and airy, and the halls wide andneatly carpeted. The structure is three stories above the basementwith two massive piazzas where the guests can sit in the easy chairsany time of day without being exposed to the sunlight. It isheated by steam on cool days and lighted by gas. The water issupplied from mountain springs and is pure and soft. The hotelis the property of Mr. Thomas Bright, but is managed by Mr.Forbes J. Muuson, formerly of Dover. A short stay at this placereveals the fact that Mr. Munson is alert to the comforts of hisguests, and is lively company for youug or old. Among thecharming ladies we met were Mrs. N. A. Merritt, Miss MinnieDuncan, Mrs. A. B. Duucan, and Miss Lillian Darling. Mr.Prank Kenderson, an old-timer from the Custom House, NewYork, also joined us iu a hand-shake. He cannot be termed an" old salt," but has a host of the finest kind of fishing incidentsfrom the salmon streams of Canada and the lakes. He came tothe Woodport House for a week, but is so delighted with the placeand service, has now completed the sixth. His manner is that ofand all-around sportsman, he speaks a beautiful language, and hisstories of by-gone days are entertaining and amusing.

the season at $6 a week each.The project for a stairway at the precipitous bank at the foot

of the road opposite the railroad station at Nolans Point is hailedwith great delight, both by the usual residents there and bynumerous visitors. "

If the New Jersey.Central Railroad Company would sprinkletheir picnic grounds now and then with some of the lake waterwhich is so near, it would be a great comfort to the thousands ofpeople who visit the grounds every week.

Mr. Deckerdoes not get much time to fish any more, as bait are so scarce thathe has to catch them for other people. When he does go wealways have a good account, and what is more, see the fish.

The colored excursion on Tuesday was a lively one for its sizeas only four cars came up. The campers, however, were out infull force ; the Pavilion float being crowded with boats, and theiroccupants crowding the Pavilion. Toward the latter part of theafternoon they took almost complete possession of the floor andthe dancing was of a different order from that of the morning.Altogether the day was a lively one at the Point.
