At HjIsncfeRE1 Beach,

II We have within the limits of our state
Minnetonka Beach. Here the tired and
care worn resident of the city can find that
diversity of amusements so much needed
to build up the weakened body which has
run down under the heavy burdens impos-
ed upon il. The cool and invigoratirg
breezes of the lake are we'll adapted to
cause man to forget his infrmaties, his
cares and his troubles, and fondIy en-
bracing some fair MAIDEN, he whirls around
in the bewit3hing waltz in time with the
dulcet strains which float upon the breeze
and the poor sufferer becomes unconscious
of his worldly existence and lives, for the
time, in a far off realm where all is
harmony, sweetness and delight
ful sensations. Just think, Mr..
Editor, of what you miss
by being compelled to watch over the col
umns of daily paper, which requires all
of your time. You have no rest, and no
delightful enjoyment beyond the clatter of
or day. Yet there is some variety in your
lIIO. II SLIlhS dlHO11S LllO l1IiAlOIS anu LS1C-
graph operators varies your existence some
what, and calls into rcquisition the exer
else of those Christian virtues which you
are so we'll known to ! ossess.
During the past week there have been a
large number of arrivals, and some have
left for home or some other field of oper-
ations. This continual change makes it
agreeable, as we make many new and
pleasant acquaintances, who assist US to
pass away the heeting hours.
The present residents have been re-en-
forced during the week by the families of
Mr.. j L. Forepaugh. Hon. A. Ramsey,
Mrs. G. E. Furness, Mr.. Maurice Auerbach,
Mr.. II. P. Upham, Mr.. E. P. Rogers, Col.
W. P. Murry, of st. Paul; Lieut.. A. B.
johnson, of Fort Smelling; Mr.. Leonard
Day, Mr.. J. G. Jones, ex-Mayor Rand, of
Minneapolis, together with large number
of Chicago and Milwaukee people. Mr.. Nc
Cord and family, of New Albany, Indiana,
is here for the season. The ladies at the
hotel were distinguished for their beauty
and intelligence. 1t does seem that, if any
of the families represented here have any
dull and ugly daughters, they have been
left at home, for none but the fairest,
purest and best find an asylum
at Hotel Lafayette. Occasionally
our family is increased by the arrival
Of large parties from other points on she
lake who remain a short time to enjoy the
amusements OF the hour, and to exchange
friendly greetings. On Thursday night
dinner was served to about $50 conductors,
engineers, their wives, daughters and
sweethearts. Mayor Ames and daughter
of Minneapolis were with the party.
Just how ne became a member is not
known. but as he is a good Democratic
conductor of Republican city govern
ment it is supposed that he was elected an
honorary member and by virtue of said
membership entitled to all the rights,
lights and benefits" of said order. He en-
ioyed himself very much and was highly
pleased with the entertainment. The
table at the hotel cannot be improved very
much. In fact any one who lives reasons-
bly, we'll at home cannot but be satisfied.
My experience shows me that those who
complain the most and who are the most
exacting, have the least at home. Polite
ness and attention on the part of all the
employees of this caravansay is notice
able feature of Hotel Lafayette.
