The inflow of visitors from the South
still continues. The hotel registers daily
contain the names of scores of people
from points IN the far South, who arrive
to enjoy the cooling Minnesota breezes.
All express themselves as delighted with
our beautiful climate, clear skies and
superb scenery, and predict an increased
summer emigration to this section year
after year.
Prof. Seibert's basket picnic to Lake
Minnetonka this morning promises to be
very largely attended. Arrangements
have been made for the accommodation
of all who may come. The Great West
ern band will be in attendance and furn-
ish an excelleat quality of music. There
will be a steamer and two barges, which
will furnish room for at least 600 per-
sons. Stops will be made at all the points
of attraction on the lake. The excursion
will start at 8:15 a. m, and retun at Z
p. m.
The guests at White Bear lake and
Lake Elmo generally reman, though
few have returned to their city homes.
There is no lack of entertainments at the
lakes. The bands make frequent visits,
and there is music and dancing at the
severl hotels, while at the various camps
there is no end to amusement. Rowing
and yachting serve to while away the early
evening and morning hours, while ham
mocks swinging in the cool shade of an
outrageous grove afford opportunity for
rest. There has been unusual absence
of mosquitoes and other troublesome in
sects, a fact that has contributed largely
to the comfort of both campers and hotel
guests.
The social world has been remarkably
quiet during the past week. There have
been the usual number of lawn parties
picnicks and excursions, all of which
have conduced to the pleasure of the par
ticipants. Two or three quiet weddings
have served to relieve the monotony of
the week, and an engagement or two have
furnished the gossips food for comment
for day or two. There has been moth
ing remarkable, however, in anything
that has taken place, and the majority of
people have pursued the even tenor of
their ways, occasionally varying the pro-
gramme by trip to one of the lakes in
the near vicinity.
Last week was an unfortunate one for
the St. Paul excursions to Lake Mime
tonka The complimentary excursion to
Commodore Zimmerman got off in fine
style on Tuesday evening, and all
went merry as a marriage
bell. There was nothing to mar
the enjoymet of those present till the re-
turn trip was announced AT Minneap-
oils an accident on the road blocked the
train, which did not reach st. Paul till
O'Clock the next morning. Though
tired and sleepy the best of humor pre-
vailed, and nothing more than the per-
petration of a few harmless jokes inter-
fered with the general tranquility of the
occasion. On Thursday Mr.. Hazards
excursion was advertised to leave, but
owing to distractions on the road which
threatened to cause an annoying delay it
was deemed best not to start for the lake.
Those who had contemplated the trip
were content to take short excursions to
some of the near lakeside resorts, or re-
turned to their homes for frolic with
