SUMNER SOCIALITIES.

But Little of Interest in the Social World
The Fete Champetre OF the Minnesota
Boat Club-Personal Gossip Of General
Interest.
With the exception of the fete cham
petre of the Minnesota Boat club on the
island on Thursday night, the week has
been almost barren of social events. That
event was one of the most notable of the
season, and had it not been for the un.
usual torridity Of the atmosphere it
would have been a complete success in
every particular. 1t lacked none of the
details necessary to success. The illumin-
alton of the boat house and the island
was all that could be required by the
most eXacting; the music was the best
that could be furnished by the Great
Western band; the. refreshments were
plenteous and cooling, and the dancing
programme had been prepared with the
greatest care. Notwithstanding all these
fortuitous circumstances the heat was too
oppressive for perfect enjoyment. The
attendance, however, embraced the elite
of the city, and all exerted themselves to
make the occasion an agreeable one.
Whatever discomforts were experienced
were not due to any fault of the manage
ment, but to the temperature, which
was beyond the control of the managing
committee
The GLOBE has already described the
fete at length. 1t can only express the
hope at this time that there will be an
early repetition of the entertainment,
and that the elements will be more ia
vorable to its complete success.
