From st. Paul. the party was in charge of

that it was well taken care of.
The weather has been everything that could
have been wished for, and the excursion is
particular.
The Great Western band Of st. Paul. fur
nished the music, and were never in better
condition. The Duluth Glee club accompanied
! the party, and early in the day put themselves
| in charge of Col. Slayback, who took particu-
| lar pains to teach them the latest st. Louis
music.
| When next the club visits st. Paul and Min.
| neapolis on concert tour, they must not neg
| ect to render the artistic melody taught them
by the colonel who in addition to his fine quail
tiles as fisherman, is one of the most thor
oughly accomplished musicians in the land.
| AS the boat approached Duluth on the
return, ex-Mayor Brown, of st. Louis,
who has done more and said less to make the
excursion a success, came to the front with the
| following resolutions:
