Parade-Iwo Entertainments.
White Bear lake was the center of attraction
yesterday, and particularly last evening. 1t
was the first perfect day, so far as weather is
concerned, since the encampment commenced.
The result was that an immense crowd Of
visitors were present. This is partly attribut-
able to the fact that two notable entertain.
ments took place, viz: the lawn festival in
aid of the Church of st. Johns In the Wilder
ness, upon the beautiful grounds of w. r.
Merriam, ESQ.,, and the grand concert at the
Hotel Leip for the benefit of the Church Of
sSt. Mary's of the Lake."
The three attractions of the encampment,
the festival and the concert caused the after
noon trains to be crowded with passengers
The result was that the shores OF White Besr
lake were literally crowded with people.
At the encampment the scene was inspirit-
ing at the dress parade of the battalions,
which took place at p. m. The visitors
could be counted by the hundreds, among
whom were many ladies both from st. Paul
and Minneapolis. 1t was the second time that
the battalions united in brigade drill and they
acquitted themselves in manner to call
forth warm enconlums of praise from many
old soldiers present.
Among the incidents of the day at the
camp, was the presentation OF splendid
sword to Capt Ed. s. Bean, OF Company d,
Allen guards of st. Paul, by the members Of
his company. This was complete surprise
to Capt. Bean. The presentation took place
Immediately after dress parade, and the sud-
denness of the affair so OverpOwered the
modest captain that he could not say word,
except "Boys!" and then he stopped. He
could not have made more effective speech
and one more satisfactory to the members oil
his company, il he had studied month in its
preparation. They, one and all, knew from
his manner that be appreciated the compli.
ment, and prouder man could not be found
in the camp than Capt. Bean.
Another very pleasant incident occurred Just
after the dress parade Wednesday evening,
when Capt. Naylor, company b, First bat
talon, invited Adjutant General Hawley and
his accomplished daughter, Miss Hattie E.
to visit his camp. Arriving there the
company was found drawn up In
| line. Hating in front of the center, Capt
Naylor, in . neat little speech, addressing
Miss Hattie, said there was vacancy In the
non. commissioned staff, and he had been com
missioned by the company to confer upon her
the title of sergeant, accompanying his re-
marks with the presentation of q beautiful pair
of chevrons, the handiwork OF lady friends o.
the company. The ground work Of tht
chevrons Is OF blue satin, wit gold stripes
under which in gold lettering is the inscrip
ton, "Miss Hattie e. Hawley, Sergeant Co.
