AT LAKE MINNETONKA.
Close Of the Season for Good and Ala
Retrospect of Doings During the Season.
Including the A,nuscnlentxs
The past week at Minnetonka has been q very
dull one; in fact, the season, which practically
closed two weeks ago, closed definitely IN
Thursday. There is no particular reason why
the month of September should not be one of
the gayest months Of tho season at this place.
The weather is delightful, the fishing the finest
that can be had in the Northwest, and the
mosquitoes, which have been an ANNOYANCE
nearly all summer, have fled. So have
the hotel managers an d all tho guests, tho only
persons remaining being tho cottagers, who
are determined 10 stay until the last gun is
fired and skates, a2e needed to cross the lake,
The Hotel ST. Louis closed its doors Monday,
the Lake Park followed suit on Wednesday,,
and.on IIursdag~the Lafayette gave up what
all summer must have been a losing enterprise,
and shut it, doors for the season. The large

night, aud the smaller ones have quietly
dropped off until there arc but three which
make any pretensions to running, and two Of
these are known as Sunday boats.
RETROSPECTIVE
The past season at Lake Minnetouka has
been decidedly slow. And yet it has not been
80 much of Il failure as ono might think from q
liasty consideration. So far as the larger ho-
to s are concerned, it has not bean profitable.
But more people have been ut Minnetonka this
season than ever before. If the contrary would
seem to be trus tits because the nccomnoda-
tons are greater this year than last. The ca
pacltr of tue Lafayette has been doubled. The
number of boarding houses has been consider
ably increased. A large number Of cottages
have been built, so that many of tho citizens Of
ST Panland Minneapolis, who formerly went
to the hotels, ROW occupy cottages.
It has been a good season for the boarding
houses. They have been well patronized for
the past two months. Excelsior has had many
more people as guests this year than during
any preceding year. But what has taken the
most patronage from the hotels liz tho increased
tendency to occupy cottages. Thus it will be
seen that while the hotels have not made
much, in other respects the season has not
been 80 much Of a failure after all. And ono
exception must DO noted among the hotsls. By
reason OF its situation and class OF patronage
the Hotel st Lonis has had o full house of
regular boarders ever aince it's opening at tbs
beginning OF July.

IN the way of public amusement not much
of general interest has taken place. The hons
given at the hotels have been more select thsn
in previous years, but they have failed to
awaken the enthusiasts that might have been
expected. Tho children's parties at Hotel
Lafayette, however, were q weekly delight 70

Orono Point were selected for the. atalting the
regattas would awaken more enthusiasm for

laprcgatia must be regarded tine chief sporting
event of the season. It WAS owing to an ignor-
ant and bungling management, and the fact OF
an evident crookedness somewhere, that 1t was
no more of a success. The American Associn-
ton of Civil Engineers, the Stats Medical asso-
citation, the American Association for the Adj
vancement of Science, the Conductors and
Engineers of Minnesota, a the millers Of

STEAM YACHTS
The summer has been marked by the advent
of quite a number Of steam yachts. This
seems 10 be a swift and sure though certainly
not the most pleasant means OF getting about
on the lake. The number of sailing yachts has
multiplied considerably. Il al were to turn
out at the regattas the fleet would number
aboutforty. Forty or fifty yachts, with their
white sails distended, would make = beautiful
and imposing spectacle at the regatGas. The
temperance question has been considerably
agitated at tho lake this summer. Several ar
rests have been made aud aoAae hnes paid
The people of Excelsior seem determined that
liquor shall not be sold publicly at the lake, or
at least on any portion Of it coming within tho
township Of Excekier. The campaign against
the business was only commenced TINS sum
mer. Next season it will be prosecuted with
vigor, SO say the managers.
