Schools have closed for the summer and now the small boy can pursue, with out restraint, his quest for pleasure. Bu it is not he alone who has been eagerly awaiting the summer season, for w frown-ups are also planning on relaxing rom our every -day labors. The summer vacation should 'also pro- vide a change from the evtry-day scenes, and already thousands of vacationists have wended their way to the Great Lakes and, particularly, to Lake Erie, where are to be found the finest and largest steamers plying the inland waters of the world. The largest and most magnificent of these steamers, the Great Ship "Seeand- oee," is now running daily between Cleve- land and Buffalo, and her immense popu- larity is attested by the large volume of passenger traffic carried. This trip not only appeals to the vaca- tionist but also to the weary commercial traveller who, by boarding the steamer at Cleveland or Buffalo at ii.00 p. m., may break the monotony of his all -rail journey, enjoy a refreshing night's sleep and reach destination at 7.30 the following morning, in plenty of time and with the inclination to start the day's struggles early.
