| HON. AUSTIN ADAMS.
The first speaker introduced was Hon
Austin Adams, of Iowa. This gentleman
made lively address, in which he said hi
was proud to be able to attend the opening
of the parx, and to aid in consecrating to
social enjoyment the beautiful spot where 50
lately the red man had roamed. He closed
with warm tribute to the enterprise and
benevolence of the association which at such
a vast outlay had taken upon itself the es-
Enlistment of the park, etc.
HON. ]. z. MEsTERvALT.
The only representative from Kansas was
next introduced. He took his cue from the
first speaker, and Landed the association and
its benevolence. He then gave his audience
q brief dose of "Bleeding Kansas" and
closed by declaring he had come to get some
thing to carry back with him to make his
people better and wiser. Faint cheers greet
ed the close of this gentleman's remarks,
but neither he nor his predecessors seemed
to evoke either the sympathy or much of the
attention of the audience.
HON. ]. W. DREW,
of New Hampshire, paid glowing tribute
to the granite hills of his native State, and
| raised laugh by telling the old joke, which
he attributed to Daniel Webster, to the
effect that New Hampshire was good State
to emigrate from.
PRESIDENT GILMORE.
After hymn, President Gilmore, with an
eye to the main chance, pulled the associa-
ton, and had great deal to say about what
had already been and would be accomplished
In the future. He had, however, nothing to
say about specializing in religion and MAX
ing it source of income, thereby subvert-
ing the recognized doctrine of the Great
Master who aimed to make His doctrine
free, without money and without price.
HON. GEO. B. wENDBuRa,
of Missouri, knew what Gov. Pillsbury
would have said, and hence felt no embar-
rassment at the absence of the Governors
speech. He complimented the American
people upon their propensity to combine
business with pleasure most striking
instance of which in modern days he might
have cited, had he been SO disposed, in the
Minnetonka Lake Park association.
REV. DIR. CoRwIN,
of Jacksonville, ILL.,, made some humorous
remarks and put the audience in something
like good spirits. While he was speaking
Gov. Pillsbury arrived and was seated on
the platform to the right of the president.
THE MINNEToNKA COLLECTION.
At the conclusion of Mr.. Corwin's re-
marks whispered consultation took place
between his excellency and the president,
when the latter announced that as the de-
mands of the inner man were now demand
ing their attention, further exercises would
be postponed to $3.50 o'clock. At this the
audience manifested decided willingness
to leave, whereupon the Grand Mogul an
nounced that his time, whether right or
wrong, would govern all future exercises.
He t hen drew his watch and after looking
thereat, gave the hour even to the half min
ute, by which to time the watches of the
audience. Before finally dismissing the
audience for dinner, he exhibited his usual
shrewd business tact, by informing them
that it was highly desirable to use in the ex-
ercises to use only book of songs, the s:Min-
netonka Collection" and that the same
could be purchased of So and So, very cheap
only 25cts per copy.
DELAYED DINNER.
On dispensing to the hotel the crowd was
sadly disappointed at hearing that dinner
would not be ready until O'Clock. Such
proved to be the case and for over two hours
that weary audience-old and young, male
and female-waited and lounged about the
doors, which obstinately refused to unfold
until the hour named above.
THE GOVERNORS WELCOME.
Half an hour later the afternoon exercises
were resumed, when Gov. Pillsbury addressed
the audience in few words of welcome, and
Immediately thereafter left on the steamer
Mary, in which proceeding he was followed
by at least half of those present.
MONEY MAKING vs.. SALVATION.
A word or two more. The GLOBE has
gone on record as to the Minnetonka Lake
Park association and it's conductors. That
it's estimate has been justified in every par
ticular no disinterested and impartial OBJ
server who witnessed yesterdays proceed
ings will for moment deny. Speculation
is everywhere rampant. Everything sold on
the grounds is sold at double price. Mon
ey making, not the salvation OF
souls, is the great primal object
WHICH, loons up anu cOnIronts every observer,
no matter where he goes. Those that sold
oxen and sheep and doves in the temple and
the changers of money sitting therein were
mere tyros in the business, compared with
those who are to-day seeking to establish an
"house of merchandise" at Minnetonka in
the name of the Lord and to extract profit
in the guise OF the teachings of Him who
commanded
therefore take no thought, saying, what
shall we eat? Or what shall We drink? Or
wherewithal shall be clothed? For after all
these things do the Gentiles seek.'' ::
