MARINE REVIEW. II tC‘ (‘“ RUUD Hay Lake Cut. The schooner Mineral State, Capt. A. E. Bullock, enjoys the distine- tion of being the first trading vessel to go through the new Hay lake cut. Contractor Dunbar had one of his tugs tow the Mineral State with another small vessel through the new channel a short time ago. Both were light, of course, and were moved with care. Capt. Bullock pronounces Hay lake a most attractive, large body of water. The new channel will shorten the Lake Superior route by 15 miles. At one place, near the head of the lake, the contractors will cut the channel 300 feet wide and 20 feet deep,through an island half a mile long. Official Numbers and Tonnage.

Chautauqua—the famous resort—located between fourteen and fifteen hundred feet above the ocean, has unsurpassed facilities for boating, fishing and bathing. When these pastimes are combined with the advantages made possible through the educational and religious organizations, which make Chautauqua lake their summer headquarters, is it surprising that each season, thousands frequent its shores. With hotel accommodations capable of delighting the tastes of the most fastidious and boarding houses where families may secure com- modious rooms and excellent service at reasonable rates, should it be wondered at that people flock from the smoke, dust and heat of our cities to enjoy the pleasures and benefits obtainable on the shores of this “Lake of Springs.” Tourists selecting the Nickel Plate route to this queen of summer resorts, will find accommodations desirable in every appointment.
