Pie-Nic Excursion to Geneva Lake Recalls Pleasant Times
A Geneva Lake excursion led by the Whitewater Band from Whitewater and joined by Geneva friends, honored by a Four o’clock start from public parks. The steamer Atalanta carried the party to Fontana for a scenic cruise past bays and promontories. A formal return to Geneva included meals, speeches, and praise for the Whitewater Brass Band under Prof. Chas Williams. The account ends with a somber note on a fatal shooting involving Mr Juneau in Horicon and brief notices of missing Ireland inquiries and Kansas election returns.
