WHITE BEAR.
A Lovely Day In the C0untry-Ths Events
of White Bear.

White Bear lake with all its sylvan beauty,
its wealth of verdure and its aesthetic grandeur.
| never appearde to better advantage than it
! did yesterday. It's blue waters were ruffied by
just such breeze as made the ''old Salts
who have sailed over its bosom for loi these
many years, rejoice "with an exceeding great
| joy" In fact nature was out for holiday
| yesterday, and chose White Bear lake as the
place to have glorious time, and she had it
all day long. 1t was great pity that all crea-
ton, and more Of the delegates to the late an
nual meeting of the American Medical asso-
ciotion had not been there to assist the GLOBE
representative in the enjoyment OF the peace
full demonstration, so well calculated to ele-
vate the spirits of poor mortals and cause
them to look up from nature to natures God,
with feeling of thankfulness that their lines
were cast in such pleasant place.
It is an cid and oft repeated saying that
Familiarity breeds contempt" but this trite
remark was evidently made by some person
who had never seen White Bear lake. Were
he living to-day and could obtain pass over
the st. Paul & Duluth road to this arcadian
spot, he would change his mind, or at least
make an exception of White Bear, for the
more it is seen, the more are its natural beau.
ties appreciated. While the GLOBE is not
ready to vouch for the truth OF the assertion
that all good men, when they die, go to st.
Paul or White Bear lake, it is frank to confess
in all candor, that they ought to go to one
place or the other. The GLOBE is not alone in
this opinion, for it was cordially Endorsed by
one of the most eminent of the delegates to
the late American Medical convention, who
was found yesterday afternoon seated upon
the pebbly shores of the lake, drinking in the
enhancing beauty of the view from in front
of the Leip house.
Now while the representatives of the GLOBE
are inclined to be more practical than poetic,
they have lively appreciation of the beauties
OF nature in every form and shape. and con-
sequently the staid and sober member of its
repOrtorial staff. who CHANGED to hear the re-
mark of DR.. Hamilton, of Monmouth. ILL.,,
yesterday, modestly mentioned that White
Bear looked very well, but this had been
rather backward season, and the scenery
around the lake was not at its best, and hoped
the distinguished gentleman would find
leisure to visit Minnesota neXt year, when he
might see an improvement in its appearance,
as well as in numerous other places of inter-
est in the vicinity of st. Paul. It is barely
possible that the doctor and the gentleman
who accompanied him might have had a sus-
picion that the newspaper man was endeavor-
ing to give them taffy, SO to speak, but if
such thought found Judgement in their
minds for moment it was quickly dispelled
when they learned that they were talking to a
representative of the GLOBE, a paper which
never admits to its columns anything that
cannot stand the most rigid test of its truth
fulness, an whose corps of writer's are not al.
lowed to "eXtenuate or set down aught to
malice"
Leaving the pleasant company of these gen.
tlemen the GLOBE man next encountered the
genial end joyial s'mine host" of the Leip
house, who had extended on invitation to all
the members of the American Medical asso-
cirtion, together with their wives, sisters,
daughters, aunts and cousins, to visit him at
his large and commodious hotel, yesterday,
and enjoy a sail, q dinner, and other courte-
sizes at his expense. Mr.. Leip regretted very
much that every member of the association
had not accepted his invitation, but those
who did will not soon forget the hearty well
come they received at his hands. Every thing
that he had was placed at the disposal of his
guests. The register showed the following

They were met at the depot upon the arriv-
al of the train by Mr.. Leip in person, and
were conveyed co the hotel, where, after par
taking of refreshments, boats, both sail and
row boats were placed at their disposal. A
sumptuous dinner was served, and the entire
afternoon was devoted to sailing, rowing and
fishing, and it is needless to say that all,
whether old or young enjoyed themselves.
Mr.. Leip and his brOtehr in-law, "A. Gibber-
ton, {whO by the way was a prominent real
estate man in st. Paul prior to 1871 werr
unIemitting in their efforts to make the vilsi-
tors welcome.
The GLOBE man continuing his rambles
about the lake came upon very pleasant pic
ntc party, the members of which had pitched
their tents in the old Commanderv grove
near the Murray house. The party was
composed of the employees of the general
offices of the St. Paul & Duluth
road in this city, with their wives and little
ones. Two special cars had been placed at
their disposal and they left st. Paul by the 10
o'clock train.
A basket picnic dinner was served In the
grove and the day was spent in roaming
around the shore of the lake, sailing, rowing,
fishing. etc. 1t was happy party, and all,
both old and young, e. joyed delightful day.
Just previous to departure for home by the
$40 p. N. train, the gentlemen composing the
party met together and passed the following
resolutions:

ployes of the st. Paul d Duluth Railroad
