NINETY-NINE IN THE SHADE
That is the Occasion Of tie Exodus OF = co
pie From the City Going Ld!erard-The
Lynd0Ie Hotel GrOHnds-A Little Fire
and Big Scare.
The glazing sun of yesterday had dire
effect alike upon the unprotected Their
mometer and the sweltering people of the
city, naturally everybody exerted himself
to keep cool, and of course the more he
exerted the hotter he became, until
life was burdensome. The depots and the
motor line starting place" (that express
sion is used for want of more applicable
phrase and in the absence of station of
any character) were scenes of vast crowds
of heated citizens looking towards 4 trip
to the lakes, Minnehaha Falls or Union
park. The most popular resort apparent
ly, of the day, was that of the new and
handsome Hotel Lyndale at Cal
houn, and thither went the GLOBE
represent atiye over the motor line in
densely packed motor cars. The trip was
fortunately short else the crowds who oc-
cupied the seats, foot boards, or anything
to which they could cling, could not have
withstood both the hardships of the crowd
and the intense heat. Col. McCrory, how
ever, did his utmost, although he was oblig-
ed to contend with vexat1ous delays
owing to the heat expanding
the newly laid steel rails
on a switch an inch and half, so that the
rails had to be cut before the switch could
be thrown and few misunderstanding
growing out of putting in operation for
the first time new time card, and put on
extra trains and extra cars, so by hook
and crook so to speak, the people man
aged to get there" and they were, indeed,
well repaid for the effort, in the delicious
cool breezes which come over the lake
through the corridors, halls, verardas and
grounds of the handsome Lyndale.
1t was not 80 degrees in the shade there,
or if it was lthere is no thermometer to
govern the expression of an Opinion) peo-
pie could not realize it, A slightly view is
presented from the veranda, bays and
alcoves of the house. The eye takes in
vast territory including the lakes, the
greater portion of the city and ''the park
region" as it is denominated, presenting
as it does most lovely and picturesque
scene.
On the lake the little Hattie was given
all she could do in conveying passengers
at frequent intervals around The pretty lit
tie sheet of water, which was, moreover,
dotted by sail and row boats.
At the hotel the genial and hospitabIe
Telfer-captain and George, his son, chip
of the old block )-exerted themselves to
entertain their many guests. The house is
handsomely furnished and fitted up with
the express view of making it a watering
place creditable to our city-and it is GER
tainly a success. Dinner is served from )
o'clock to 7:30, and the menu would do
the Grand Pacific of Chicago proud The
corps o. cooks are the best to be scared in
the country, and the walters well drilled.
A large and handsome Tufts soda
fountain, located directly beneath the
sky-light in the rotunda, proved of in
sufficient capacity and ran dry before 5
O'Clock. Among the long list of arrivals
during the day were found the following:
Mayor Ames, Col J. L. West, Col. Nc
Crory, S. F. Boyd, general passenger agent
Miunea polls & st. Louis railway; F. w.
Partridge, auditor NJ. & St. L. railway;
Miss Gould, of Chicago, H. Urban, Cincin-
natl, John D Moore, Washington; Hast
ings Alleway; George Seaton, Judge FIari-
gan, Ed. McDermott, Ed. A. Stevens and
others CT Minneapolis.
4 large number of gentlemen have taken
up their permanent summer abode here
among whom are notably Col. Innis and
family, Thomas Lowry and family, Col.
McCrory, r. II. Newton and wife, Miss
Gould, of Chicago, Capt. S. P Snyder
and family, r. FL. Colcraft and family
The four pretty cottages will be fully
completed this week, and will be furnished
and opened on the 10th. They will form a
comfortable adjunct, and will be occupied
as sleeping apartments for guests to the
house. The hotel will accommodate some
225 people, besides the cottages The Tel
fers are running it strictly upon temper
ance platform, prohibiting a bar. fine
billiard hall, however, is fitted up
in the basement, with three fine j. NJ.
Brunswick & Bake Co.'s tables with the
famous Monarch cushions, and will be so
run that ladies may visit it, and if they
feel disposed, participate in Innocent oi-
version. The TelJers always were atten-
tive to the fair sex. Concerts will soon be
inaugurated by popular orchestras and
bands. Gustavus F. Hall will
also give series of concerts
just so soon as the season is sufficiently
advanced to warrant the enterprise. The
hall is excellently adapted to party pur-
poses as we'll.
An exciting episode occurred at the
hotel yesterday noon. The fire depart
ment received telephone call for aid,
from Capt. Teller. One steamer, the
Chemical, and hose carriage responded
with alacrity, making the run in about
twenty minutes. Arriving there it was
found that fire had broken out in the
engine house located on the bank of the
lake near the hotel, threatening the de-
struction of the entire house, but the fire
was quickly squelched, only doing a nom
inal damage of about $50. Everything
will be fully repaired by tomorrow.
The machinery was uniniured save a little
furnishing of the brass works.
The mounted patrol busted themselves
in capturing the immodest bathers who
laved themselves in the cool waters with
out bathing suits, and quite a number
