| (Special to Thh Timer.)j Crown Point, Ind.. March 22.—From ‘present indications Cedar I#ake will b' as quiet as a deserted church this Hummer as far a» the Monlt;»n railroad picnics are concerned and reports from reliable sources are to the effect that not a single picnic has been booked for the Monon park for the corning season. Should this report prove authentic it will spell disaster to many of the lake resorts, whose chief source of revehue was derived from the Sunday and midweek picnics of Chicago people at »■ ‘County's summer resort.The change in the management of therailroad and their policy against catering to the class of trade which hascharacterized the majority of the picnics from Chicago is said to be the chief reason for a discontinuance of the picnics. In the event of the report being true the dark cloud which hovers over the Cedar I^tke resorts will have its silver lining, as many people who have heretofore shunned th» lake or account of the presence of Chicago bruisers will now patronize L'ike County’s beauty spot, a« was rtono in days when the Chicago ‘tough” picnic was a thing unknown.
