110 YEARS AGOThe Otesaga Hotel is entertaining this week what is probably the most representative, if not the largest gathering in the history of the hotel. The members of the Association of Edison Illuminating Companies of America are here with their families to the number of about four hundred. The visitors come from all over the United States. The men are holding daily business sessions in the ball room while the ladies are amusing themselves with golf, tennis and the many other pastimes offered on the ample Otesaga grounds. The hotel grounds are illuminated with various electrical devices erected for demonstration purposes, in addition to the myriads of colored lights arranged especially for the occasion. A tent has been erected on the north lawn facing the lake where vaudeville shows and moving pictures are given nightly. On Wednesday evening there will be a big display of fireworks.
