health to be fitting, and the fact is seen
on every hotel register in the city. Peo-
pie are coming from all parts Of the con-
tinent, more especially from the South.
Louisville, Memphis and st. Louis have
contributed most largely to the access Of
population of this part of the country,

who come from those cities are among
the most refined and educated of their
population There are now something
near 5000 people from st. Louis temper
arily residing in st. Paul or at the lakes
environing the city. An equal number
from the two other cities mentioned
might be found without the aid of a
microscope.

city is full of strangers, there is but little
news of interest to society people. The.
week has been barren of entertainments.
The Opera house doors have been
closed, and there have been no
parties in society circles. A few lawn
parties have been held, but these were
not especially distinguished. They were
pleasant social gatherings, but noticeable
in any particular respect.

Union Park to-day.
