Late in the afternoon of June 25th,
J. H. Bortle, L. Haight, G. A. Cullen
and myself started out for a two days'
outirjg at Pleasant Lake, appointing
ourselves a special committee to look
up a suitable place for picnicing. Of
course it was handy to have a boy
along to look after certain little fixings,
in which case Willie Carson fitted the
bill well. On leaving home we had a
nice lot of minnows which were lively
and active, but after starting out we
concluded that the amount of bait was
insufficient and when we had reached
the Dr. Hall brook, part of our crowd
piled out, leaving Haight and Cullen
in the shade to watch the wagon and
its contents while we captured more
minnows. After floundering around
the crock and getting my feet wet and
Willie nearly capsizing himself in the
brook, we succeeded in capturing
enough live bait, with what we previously had, to last six men four days.
Then for the wagon, how well things
were looked after you can well imagine,
asour comrades forgot the minnows.
They were spoiled for future use, two
pails of them had died. We asked why
they did not change the water. Why,
they answered, we thought the Water
would keep them. It did. Of course,
we musji have more or fail in our anticipated capture of those big pickerel
and bass that we were certain swam in
the waters of Pleasant Lake. This was
our first streak of luck. We then
started for Mr. C. Warner's creek,
where John, with net, Lorenzo and myself, with sticks to do the driving, soon
made up for those which we had lost.
We then went flying over the road for
the lake. About four o'clock p. m. we
arrived at our destination, putting out
the team,securing* our boats,and started
in for an afternoon's fishing. Sun down,
started for camp having caught some
very fine fish, and completing our arrangements for the night, after making
away with a. share of the provisions we
carried with us, we concluded to try
the night fishing for bullheads. Bortle,
being ti-ed put and having the headache, said he would stay in camp and
rest. Haight, Willie, Cullen and myself started out prospecting. Somehow
the bullheads had some evil prognostication of our intentions and refused to
be enticed with anything we could offer.
They didn't nibble worth a cent. Returning about eleven o'clock prepared
foi* a good night's rest. Bortle told us
of a visit of someone who was prowling
around, no doubt some ol, our things
would have been missing, if not our
whole outfit been carried off, had not
some of us been in camp to look after
them, and in their wandering had
stumbled against the guy ropes of the
tent, Bortle roused up and frightened
the burglar away. T lay down to rest
and slept with one. eye open. One
o'clock, the moon was shining brightly,
I heard a noise and "supposing it to be
th« thief I went to see who it was, when
I found myself confronted with the
burglar a black and white cat, Bortle's
ghost.
CHAKUE HOW.
RARE SPORT AHEAD FOR PATRONS
OF THE TROTTING TURF.
The Cracks of the Salt ana Weit "Will
Meet for the Firit Time this Year at Ham-
tramck—The Great £10,000 Stake—Nil-
son, King of the Turf, to Trsit—Program
of the Blue Ribbon Meeting, July 20-25.
Indications are that Michigan people will
this year be treated to a carnival of turf sport
the like of which has not been seen in the
history of harness racing. Preparations extraordinary are being made by the Detroit
Driving Club for bringing together all the
crack horses of the country, from Nelson of
Maine, ^vhose record of 2:10J is the fastest
ever, made by a trotting stallion, to the
superb little Cricket, 2:10, that trainer
George Starr will bring all the way from
California to try conclusions with the Tennessee champion, Hal Pointer, 2:00f, in the
free-for-all class for pacers.
By reason of a combination of luck}* circumstances the outlook now is that the Blue
Ribbon Meeting of July 20-25, willprove by all
odds the most sensational of the year. Fortunately its dates are so arranged as to make
Detroit the first great battle ground of the
season in the struggle for supremacy between
the crack trotters of the East and the West.
From the opening meeting of the Grand
Circuit, a week earlier, at Pittsburg, the
noted Eastern drivers. Turner, Golden, Quin-
ton and others, will ship the pick of their
stables to Detroit, there to meet in battle
Toyal the flower of She Western turf driven
by Budd Doble, McHenry, Starr and Stewart. As this is the first meeting of the
season at which, the Eastern and Western
stables come together, and the prizes contended for being richer than at any other
meeting of the Grand Circuit, sensations, surprises and shattered records are certain to
follow in rapid succession.
The program is indeed,a brilliant one.
"Blue Kibbon Day," as the opening day is
termed, is made a genuine holiday for all
who enjoy racing, the grounds being generously thrown open to the public, free of any
admission. On that day the 2:27 class trot
for a purse '$3,Q0O; then follows a race
between pacers of the 2:2-1 class for a purse
of like amount; the day's sport concluding
with a dash of a single mile for 2:20 trotters,
which is likely to prove a very fast and exciting contest. Tuesday's card is a fine one.
The opening race is a lfc'2,000 purse for the
2:17 class, trotting, and this is followed by
the event of the week, the Merchants' and
Manufacturers' Stake. Thirteen of the
fastest young trotters on the turf will start
for the grand prize; $10,000, and a contest
may be looked for equaling the memorable
one of last year, won by the good horse
Walter E. from a field of eleven after
seven exciting heats. The2:lG class, pacing,
finishes Tuesday's program. Wednesday
the drawing card will be the race for double
teams of the 2:20 class, in which some of the
famous trotting pairs from "ivew York City
are expected to take part. Other events on
this day are the dash of one mile for
2:14 pacers, and the purse of $2,000 for trotters of the 2:21 class. Thursday should be
termed "Red Letter Day," its program
including free-for-all races for both trotters
and pacers, in addition to a rich purse for
the 2:00 class trotting. Friday sees the conclusion of the trotting program, with purses
of $3,000- for the 2:10 classes trotting and
pacing, and a mile dash between 2:25 trotters.
On Saturday, the last day of the meeting,
running will be the order, there being Hal
races at three-quarters, seven furlongs, ont
mile, and one mile and a sixteenth, and a
hurdle race at one mile and a quarter.
The Detroit Driving Club is made up of
gentlemen whose aim is steadily and continuously progressive, and on its grounds racing
is seen at its cleanest and best. Many
features of the Blue Ribbon program for
1$91, which space will not permit of present
mention, will be found detailed in a handsome souvenir that is soon to be issued
by the Club and mailed free to ali who
request it.
Last week's Argus gives quite an extended sketch of the life of Hon. J. T.
Jacobs, Ann Arbor's prominent clothier.
At the special meeting of the board
of supervisors, held at Ann Arbor last
week, Alfred Davenport, of York, was
made chairman. The new office of
school commissioner, just recated, was
voted to M. J. Cavauaugh. This oifice
takes place of the former secretary of
the board of school examiners.
MORE RECIPROCITY.
The  Canadian   Government
Its Views.
Announces
A special from Ottawa, Ont., says:
The budget was brought down in the
house of commons Tuesday. The leading features were references to th« reciprocity issues, and the announcement
of the abolition of the duties on raw
sugar, by which act the treasury loses
and the consumers are freed from.
$3,000,000 of import duties. The possibilities of l'eciprocal arrangements,
said the finance minister, were better
now than they had heen since 1S66. In
the past all Canadian proposals have
been ignored, but this year Secretary
Blaine himself has invited a conference
upon*the condition of trade in the two
countries. The government was prepared to meet that of the states and
endeavor to agree upon equitable terms
to l'emove the causes now preventing
fnfedom of tfade between Canada and
the states. While the government
would do all in their- power to come to
an honorable arrangement Mr. Poster
said they would never agree to any proposal by whieh Canada would be shut
out from trade with Great Britain or
any other country in the world.

By All Odds
The most generally useful medicine is Ayer's
Pills. As a remedy for the various diseases
of the stomach, liver, and bowels, these
Pills have no equal. Their sugar-coating
causes them not only to be easy and
pleasant to take, but preserves'their medicinal integrity in all climates and for any
reasonable length of time. The best family
medicine, Ayer's Pills are, also, unsurpassed
for the use of travelers, soldiers, sailors,
campers, and pioneers. In some of the
most critical cases, when all other remedies
have failed,
Ayer's Pills
prove effective.
"In the summer of 18M I was sent to the
Annapolis hospital, suffering with chronic
diarrhea. "While there, 1 became so reduced iu strength that I could not speak and
was compelled to write everything I wanted
to say. X was then having some 25 or 30
stools per day. The doctors ordered a medicine that 1 was satisfied would he of no
heneflt to me. I did not take it, but persuaded my nurse to get me some of Dr.
Ayer's Pills. About two o'clock in the after-
- noon I took six of these pills, and by midnight began to feel better. In the morning
the doctors came again, and after deciding
that my symptoms were more favorable, gave
me a different medicine, whieh I did not use,
but took four more of the pills instead. The
next day the doctors came to see me, and
thought I was. doing nicely, (and so did I).
I then took one pill a day for a week. At the
end of that time, I consideredmyself cured"
and that Ayer's Pills had saved my life. I
was then weak, but had no return of the
disease, and gained in strength as fast as
could be expected.'*—1*. C. luce, Late Lieut
