The Location. e iajnp Jn sljuated oh Onekama twelve miles north of Manistee, lake is surrounded by hills cov- with a heavy growth of native s, several trout streams are near, the swimming and boating cannot excelled anywhere. The fishing is iciflarly good, and cannot be. bet- except at the less frequented re- s farther away and more difficult reach. The camp site proper Is the; prettiest part of the lake on at the local people term "The int," and occupies about* 25 Jtcres weli-drained ground and but little quented by other people. Near by the (end of the point is the Portage i, a summer hotel, which has lohg- tance communication with tmtside Ints as well as with the little town Onekama, where the camp supplies i purchased and which will be^ de- ered: to the camp at its own <Eo6k. The Equipment. * The ^equipment consists of a large ling'tent with side walls so that en l£ the most inclement weather biys are well sheltered, the cheri tent, a headquarters tent, and isicis ~sr© g| »ld-Mfedal Army cots aid make very |g intertable sleeping.

Th« boy ia urged to eater a* many of theae in hia class as possible. The class distinction is drawn according to development rather than according to age. The camp routine la not a "drag" but is made as flexible as possible and the utmost care is taken that no boy over-exerts himself. The co-operative spirit of the camp gets hold of a boy and makes him feel that every "live" boy should know how to run. Jump, swim, row and pitch quoits, even if he cannot excel in any of them. Spe- cial attention is given to the swim- ming. Hours are assigned for this sport and no boy is allowed to enter the watet at any other time. Special instruction is given and it is seldom that a boy returns from camp with- out having learned to swim. A meet is held in both track and acquatics, bona are awarded the winners, and the points won count on a medal for the best in each class as well on the honor emblem awarded every good camper at the close of the camp. 8ide Trips. There are several side trips made from the camp among them being a day for fishing, a day for hiking, trips to the town of Onekama, and the near-by resorts both on launches and row boat as well as on foot through the woods and logging roads. The Camp's Ideals. The camp was instituted not so much to give the boys a "good time" as to incorporate with the good time a period of recreation activity with a religious basis and background, where the boy would have continually before him men of high ideals and Christian character, and where he might be brought into a vital, living touch with his Maker by means of an outing that would appeal to the very sources of his nature. The Sunday spent at camp is one of great mean* ing td the boys who have attended the Evanston Y. M. C. A. camp in past years, and the camp of this present year .will not be a success unless the boys return with more to their credit than a mere "good time." v .- Care of the Boys. "*' The same professional cook who has had charge of the camp cooking for the past six years will probably have the kitchen again. He dishes up good wholesome, muscle-building food â€"just the kind for active, growing boys. 'Good table manners are not forgotten. Every boy comes to the table looking neat and clean. The table setting, conversation and at- mosphere of the dining tent tends toward refinement. The Y. M. C. A. physical director takes care of the sick and injured, but thus far he has little of this to do. Admission and Expenaes. The number of boys admitted to the camp is limited to 50 and will be admitted to the camp only upon the approval of the superintendent of the Sunday school'from which they come. The cost is merely the actual cost to the Y. M. C. A. for each boy, which amounts to $12. This covers the en- tire cost to the boy including car and boat fares, excepting berth on the boat; What to Take. Every boy should take with him two changes of clothing and such articles for his sports and games as he cares for. A detailed list may be had at the Y. M. C. A. which will be glad to give any information regard- ing the camp on request. Daily mail is received at the camp which maintains a camp store and postoffice. Each boy is required to send home some word each day, and is sent off every morning on the daily mail boat from Onekama. Parents interested should com- municate at once - with the Y. M. C. A-*.as preference will be given to those who apply in the order of ap- . plication.

"Raffles'* is one of the plays which grips, and Mr. Harry Minturn; in the title role proved himself An actor of cleverness and resource. At last Mr, Vance has given ns a lead- ing man of striking personality and histrionic ability, and If he will bring him back next season; we will be un- der obligations. Mr. Minturn makes his points so that you can sea them. The other members of the company give him able support and, take it all in all, "Raffles" will give one about as delightful a performance as we have had at the theater during the season. Mr. Clarendon's "Captain Bedford" is worth, of special remark. Among the men, Satterlee, Kibbee, Hlnsdell, were, of course, good, while MIbb Johnstone led Miss Cavitte and, Miss Remonde In shining In the feminine roles. Th» Cast.
