1894, The Waning Season at Yulan

The Last Dance the Jolliest One of the Summer
The season drawing to a close has been the most successful ever known in this section of Sullivan County, and the boarding house keepers are correspondingly happy.

Washington Lake is the center of attraction for the boarders in this neighborhood, and its mirror-like surface is dotted daily with merry rowing parties and the more sober fishermen luring from the depths the pickerel and black bass.

Last Wednesday evening at Prang’s Lake View Farm House was given what will probably prove to be the last barn dance of the season and it was pronounced by all to be the jolliest. The barn was prettily decorated with autumn foliage, sumach and golden rod, but these were far outshone by the bevy of pretty girls…

Refreshments were served after the dance. The music was by Professor Kinley.—Brooklyn Daily Eagle, September 9, 1894.
