Cedar Lake, where they spend the night at the hotel. Friday they strike Paisley, Creston, Lowell, Shelby, Thayer, Rose Lawn, Fair Oaks, and Rensselaer, reaching here about noon, and will take dinner at the Makeever hotel. From Rensselaer they go to Delphi and Lafayette, where they will spend the night at the Lahr House. From Lafayette the route is via Indianapolis, Richmond and Cincinnati, Returning the club misses Rensselaer entirely, they start on the return trip on Saturday J uly 4th, arriving in Ohioago on J uly 9th. It is by far the biggest event ever undertaken by the olnb, and and every member is workingjhard to make the trip a sucoess. Seventy-five members have already signified their intention of making the start, and with the roads in their present good condition the trip will no doubt be a most enjoyable one.
