SrNNEroNKA BEACH.
Second Day Of the Reunion Of the Nor: h.
western Travelling Mems Association.

western travelling Mems ASSOCIATION.
Notwithstanding the fact that yesterday
opened dark and lowering and threatened all
Of the forenoon to shed rainy tears on the trav-
elers assembled On the beach, It could not en-
tirely dissuade others from joining them, and
the forenoon trains were fairly flied. 1t
was generally understood that to-day was to
be sort of an informal day, and everybody,
their wives, sisters, daughters, sweethesrts
and babies were each OF them at liberty to
seek their own enjoyment in his or her own
particular way. Rowing, sailing, fishing and
other pleasures were severally patronlZed.
Those who.feared rain kept sedulously beneath
the protecting wing OF the grand verandas or
sought the spacious corridors within. During
the forenoon those who remained at the hotel
and felt an interest athletic pursuits were treat
ed to free exhibition OF this kind by
party of athletes who have gone ont to take
in the lakes, and whose exploits were truly
| wonderful. Messrs. Andre Christol and T. E.
Pencil gave specimen exercises with the can
non balls and clubs Biessrs. Christol and
Thos. Cannon a specimen OF Greco Roman
wrestling snd r. Z. Pennell the most wonder
| ful feat Of handling with ease a 115 pound
dumb bell, Zone hundred and serenity fire
pounds A 80 pound weight and ITO pound
| iron bar were handled with ease by several of
| the party. This exhibition will be repeated
! to-day with ''catch-as catch-can" wrestling
bout and very possibly by swimming match.
| Those witnessing the Performance of the
| athletes express themselves uttelly astOnished
at the wonderful exhibitions of personal
| strength afforded and the skill with which it
| it was displayed. In the afternoon the steam
er City of st. Louis took all who desired on
an excursion 10 the upper lake and in the
evening the Great Union band of
st. Paul, who are engaged for the
| occasion, gave grand promenade and
waltz concert, which was enjoyed by all with
zest. Daring the afternoon, as there was no
| piano at the hotel, those purchased by the
management not having arrived, w. w. Hol-
comb, of Dyer & Howard, st. Paul, did ar
rive with q magnificent Steinway Concert
Grand, which this gentlemaniY fl IN, hearing
of the need, courteously rendered the use OF
to the Travelling. MEMS association.
This generous act, as unexpected as
1t was pleasurab,e, shows the
firm to be above feelings of petty jealousy and
| TALES one for them whenever travelling man
caa use his influence in their behalf. To-day,
the third aud last day of the association, will
be observed as follows: At $3.50 a. IN. the
Hon. Eugene n. Wilson will read the Declare
ton of Independence, which will be followed
! by an Grafton from Rev. DR.. w. Faucet, OF
Chicago. At 8 p. N. banquet and the
grand closing ball in the evening. During
| the day there will be grand single scuil race
one -fourth mile and return for the association
| gold medal, to be contested for by members
only. A large number of members arrived
during the afternoon and evening, and should
the weather prove fair grand good time can
not fail to be the result.
The prominent summer visitors from
| the South are beginning tC
arrive at each of the many fine
resorts on the. lake and by the close OF the
week nearly if not all of the hotels will be
filled. All except the Arlington are now open
and present their accustomed inviting look.
At Park hotel his honor. Commander Hutch
insOn, comes smiling to the front with bill
of fare that would make the mouth OF a craven
image water and lot of walters who are
just enough high toned to attend prompt
ly and perfectly to the wants OF
their guests. For beauty of location, hand
some grounds, ample quarters, moderate
rates, and for everything that goes to make 3
summer at the lake a real pleasure, commend
me TO the Lake Park hotel. To-day the grand
floating palace "Bell OF Minnetonka," full
account of which was given in the GLOBE or
Sunday, makes her first excursion trip and
gees into regular service.
The large and perfectly managed feet of lake
| steamers, known as the "Lake Minnetonkt
Navigation Co.." are running in connection
| with all trains to the lake and enables one to
| visit all points on the lake in a single day.;
