;" VOL. VI. NO. 35. CLEVELAND. O.. AUGUST 28. 4884. 12.00 Pll AKxrjv SikousiCohm s Cum PLEASURE TRAVEL ON THE LAKES. One of the most romarkable features of the present summer, cold nnd unpropltlous as It has been, Is (lie large Inorease In pure pleasure travel on the lakes. A proportionate increase la to be expected as the country grows in prosperity and wealth, G'lt the amount of travel since navigation opened has boon Immensely above any natural ratio, It can be accounted for only on the sup- position Jhat much of the ocean travel, Inter¬ rupted by cholera and the unhealthy con¬ dition of the old countries, has been turned In the direction of the lakes. Those, however who can take a trip to Luke Superior, the healthiest and most Invigorating of all regions, with its two thousand miles or more oftra^LanjLrecregtloj) at acostsofar below ■ that of going to Europe, nnd involving the consumption of only two or three week's time, will not be slow to forget the pleasure of suoh a trip, and it Is probable that a tide of lake travel has set in whloh will "continue to grow as the seasons come round. It has been difficult to secure accom¬ modations on the Lake Superior Transit Co.'s elegant propellers except by applying some time In advance, and the Lake Superior line from Chicago to Duluth, has been greatly pressed tor room to accommodate the demand for passage. Ward's Detroit A, L-kcSupertor Line stops at Intermediate ports, leaving the dock at the foot of Randolph street, Detroit, trl- ""weekly, and has always been prosperous and afavoilte line with the traveling public Hanna, Lay & Co's well appointed boats ply on the route between Chicago, Traverse City and Mackinaw, The pleasure travel on the shorter lines, more distinctively run for pnssenger traffic, Includes Grummond's Mackinaw Line. The Atlantic, Captain D. Nlckerson, leaves Cleveland every Friday evening at 8 o'clock. During the warm weather and pleasure season the steamer Atlantic will extend the regular trip on to Petoskey, Harbor springs and Charlevoix from the Cleveland For¬ warding Co.'s ofike and dock, foot of Su¬ perior street and which on each day, we are pleased to note, Is well patronized. The other passenger boats making their stops at this dock are the Merchant's line bouts, ply¬ ing between Chicago and Montreal, the propeller Nashua, which runs to the Thou¬ sand Islands, the Oconto of the Saginaw Transportation Co., plying between Cleve¬ land and Saginaw, and which leaves he"re every Tuesday, and others mentioned In tho followlng_llnes, the business of which has been In like degree largo. The Detroit A Cleveland steamers carry a great number of passengers, and the same trip may be mndo In the day time by those who prefer a wide awake and interesting day, and the privilege of loitering a few hours at Put-ln- 'Bay, on the steamers Fearj,and Alaska. The former runs from Cleveland In the rooming to Putrla-Bay returning In the evening, the 'otter a like* trip from Detroit to the Islands where both connect and exchange passongers Steamers also run to the Islands from oilier oltlos, and one oan easily make tho trip by lake to Sandusky, 'Toledo, etc. No liner ■hort trip can bo allorded than that made by the steamer Ijenjl, and It Is encouraging to note that she goes well loaded, every day. The yacht Cyclone also comes In for her ■hare of the sh6rt trip business. The steam¬ er Keweenaw, running between Cleveland and Buffalo, Is doing an excellent passenger business In a trade that several yefers ago was specially confined to one line of large sldewjieelerp, but whloh Is divided now among the most commodious propellers. From present Indications the. public Is awakonlng to the excellent effects of a trip, lorg or abort, on the lakes! and the pleasure business Is almost sure to grow. Messrs, Graham, Morton & Co. organized the line between Benton Harbor, St. Joseph and Chicago In 1875, running at that time the propeller Messenger, their own boat. In the year 1870 the Graham & Morton Trans¬ portation Company was formed, Mr. H. W. Williams, owner of the propeller Skylark, becoming one of the firm. The Skylark In connection with the Messenger, then made dally trips, to and from St.Josoph until the year 1882, when the Lorn, the subject of our illiutHiUour4Mimo-oiit-and-took-the-place-of- the Skylark and one year later the St. Joseph replaced the Messenger. John A. Dlx, also makes round trips every day between St. Joseph and Chicago, leaving O'Connor's dock on the northeast Rush street bridge, Saturday and Sunday excepted, at 10 a. m. returning from St. Josepfe nt 9130 p. m. On Saturdays the John A. Dlx leaves Chicago at 11:80 p. m., reaching St. Joseph early Sunday morning. The John A. Dix has magnificent machinery and Is licensed to carry'000 people. Captain D. M, Coch¬ rane and J. H. Sanderson are the owners. The Star line, under the management of A. J). Moffat, is also meeting with much favor this season on their routs-between De¬ troit, Toledo and Fort Huron, stopping at Intermediate ports. This line Is composed of tho iron steamer Idlewlld, Captain Mc¬ Laughlin and (he steamer Evening Star, Captain Wm. McKay. It Is the Intention of the managers to put a new and elegant boat on this; route at an early day. THE PASSENGER The steamer Lora Is a magnificent steam er, costing $60,000, and has 010 tonnage.
