SOCIAL FLASHES.
Rush for Excursions and the Lakes
Marriage Bells-Minnetonka Notes.

The Heated Term of the Week Past A
Rush for Excursions and the Lakes
Marriage Bells-Minnetonka Notes.
The news of social circles during the
past week has been extremely limited
The weather has been hot---so hot that
exertion was impossible without the
greatest discomfort. Gentlemen have
perambulated the streets and avenues in
negligent rainment, and ladies have dis
carded all but the coolest garments for
promenades. Those who have been able
to spare the time have betaken them
selves to the lakes IN the hope of obtain
ing relief from the oppressive heat of the
city, but even there they were compelled
to take matters easy and recline in a
hammock under some friendly shade
rather than indulge in the fascinating
amusements of sailing, rowing or fishing
| The sole object in life of the majority of
mankind in this region of the country
has been to keep cool, but none of them
seem to have succeeded to their entire
satisfaction.
The engagement of NJ Charles Frey
and Miss Pauline Linz, both of this city,
! is announced.
| Messrs J. H. Schmidt and Albert
Elbel will go into camp at Forest lake,
on Monday, for a week or ten days.
Mr. Phillip Stern, of Marshalltown,
Iowa. after pleasant sojourn with his
| friends in st. Paul, returned home on
Friday last.
Mr.. Ed. c. Wall, of the ST. Paul,
Chicago and Milwaukee firm of Wall &
| Bigelow, is in the city for few days Of
| recreation.
Miss Helen Mandel, who has been Wis
| iting her friends, Mr.. and Mrs. Alex.
Guiterman, left for her home, New York
city, on Thursday last
Misses Anna G. and Kitty Carr, of
Chicago, are spending their vacation in
St. Paul, with their cousins, the Misses
Lyons, on East Tenth street.
Miss Margaret McGinnis, niece of Gen.
George MeGinnis, of Indianapolis, reached
st. Paul last Thursday, and for the rest
of the season will be the guest of Mrs
James hIcAfee, at Camp "Hoosier,"
White Bear lake.
On Wednesday next a grand regatta
will take place on Lake Minnetonka.
There will be two yacht races and three
canoe races, the yacht races being for
two miles and the canoe races one mile
1t promises to be an exciting occasion
Aside from the regular daily excursions
to Elmo and White Bear, two excursions
to Lake Glinnetonka have been held
within the week. The first was on
Thursday evening, leaving St. Paul at
$3.50 ON, and was arranged by Geo. H.
Hazard, the popular ticket agent in this
CITY. Seven carloads of eXcursiOnists,
comprising many of our best citizens,
went out and enjoyed ride on the lake
for several hours. a halt was made at
Spring park, where cordial reception
was accorded to the excursioniSts, and all
went merry as marriage bell The
party returned to the city about mid
night, highly delighted with the trip.
On Friday evening another excursion
took place under Mr. Zlmmerman's aus
pices The attendance was large, and
many of the best society people of the
city took advantage Of it to
visit Minnetonka The excursion
passed off without the lsightest |
incident of an untoward nature to mar
Its harmony. 1t was universally pro-
nOunced success, and the general YER |
dict was that they should be continued |
Many of the friends of Mr. c. A. Zim-
norman, who has shown so much enter |
prise in establishing a fleet of steamers |
On Lake Minnetonka. and has contribu- |
ted SO largely to the pleasure of our citi- |
Zens, have conceived the idea that it |
would be appropriate to tender that gen
tleman a complimentary benefit. Dyer |
u Howard's band has taken the initia- |
tive, and through the efforts Of that or
ganization the affair has been arranged. |
1t will take the form Of a grand compli- |
mentary excursion from st. Paul and |.
Minneapolis On Tuesday evening, the !
train-a specialize start from st. Paul |
at 6:45 p m. The train will be accom- |
panied from st. Paw by Dyer& Howard's
band At Wayzata the band will be |
amalgamated with the Knight Templar |
band of Lansing, Mich, while the excur- |
sion will be considerably reinforced The |
combined bands will be under the leader |
ship of Prof. Driscoll of Lansing, one of |
the most eminent leaders in the West On |
arrival at Spring park the excursionists |
will be at liberty to follow their own in
clinations. The entire feet of boats of the |
Zimmerman navy are to be placed at the |
disposal Of the excursionists, and the !
club house at Spring park will be thrown
open for their entertainment The Lam
sing Knight Templar band will furnish |
the music for those who wish to indulge |
in terpsichorean exercises at the club
house, while Dyer s. Howard's band will |
furnish music for those who prefer to
remain upon the waters of the lake.
There is a promise of brilliant illumina-
tions, fireworks, and other concomitants
of gala occasion. There is no doubt
but the testimonial excursion will be the
largest of the season, and Judging frem
the men who are managing it, there is no
hazard IN predicting that it will be the
most successful.
