THE LAKE SEASON

THE LAKE SEASON
which commenced so late, is already
/ virtually ended. The early days of sum-
mer were cold, and almost all of August
/ has been so cold that the town has been
preferable to the country to pleasure
seekers. One can but lament that all
the pretty toilets, which were prepared
with so much care and expense, with
view to display and enjoyment, should so
early have been doomed to retirement;
indeed some of them were not even un-
packed, but abode silent in their dark
receptacles. But not in vain were they
created, for even now there is a note of
preparation for the winter campaign
IN the air, and all those transparent, lace
bedecked draperies, thick, lustrous silks,
| heavy brocadeS and handsome velvets.
! with all the simmer and sheen of colering
which the modiste gave them ''are not
born to blush unseen," but may come
forth in all their pristine beauty and
hedeck the forms, lovely or otherwise, that
they were intended for, so that really there
will be no loss, in all the expense and pre-
paratlon for the summer; as reception
| lunch high ton. and all the various oc-
| cas1ons when handsome toilets will be in
demand viii utilize all these beautiful
| costumes, which scarcely saw the light of
day at lakeside resort.
THE GERMANS.
The German society is preparing for the
general fall and winter campaign. The
following memoranda contain some indi-
cations of what may be expected.
THE sENGERFEsT.
The German Singers union, of st. Paul,
consisting of the Mannerchor, Lieder-
kranz, Arion and Concordia will attend
the S@ngerfest at Saltwater in a body,
| and ali of them, separately and collectively,
have been most diligently rehearsing and
practicing for this great biennial event
The first named tws societies have in Prof
j. L. Kerker the same musical director and
teacher, while the Arion and Concordia are
respectively directed by Profs John s..
erode and August Scheufer, the latter
gentleman being also chosen by the Still
water Mannerchor as the musical director
of the entire festival. Arrangements have
| been perfected by the local committee with
the st. Paul d Daluth railroad, by which
the price of the round trip tickets has been
fixed at one dollar, the tickets being good
for the Sth, 9th, 10th and 11th, September,
thus enabling ali who may wish to attend
to choose any particular day, or to take in
the entire festival, and return after the con-
clusion. The active singers of the union
Will leave here by the 10 o'clock train on
Saturday morning, the 8th uIt., accompa-
MED by Danz's military band and full or
chestra, under engagement by the Manner
chor dramatic division and Liederkranz
while the Arions and Concordias have Sc.
cured the services also during the entire
festival of the Great Union band. The
entire union of German singers of st. Pau
will be designated by a corps-band or mar
row silken tri-colored scarf, worn over the
right shoulder and diagonally across the
chest, composed of the old German revo
lutionary colors of 1649, of black, red anG
gold, the name of their particular societies
being printed in gilt letters on the other
, wise uniform band of each and all. Per
feet unanimity and harmony prevails, anG
1t is safe to say that the twelfth Minnesota
S@ngerfest is being inaugurated under al
favorable auspices as the most arden
singer or friend of song could we'll desire
and this is as it should be.
THE ATHENEUM.
The dramatic division of the German
society will present the historic play O.
"Anna Lise, or Prince Leopold of Dessa1
and the Apothecary's Daughter on thi
evening. The performance is for the ben
fit of Mr.. Kuehn, the call-manager anC
general utility man of the society whose
oft times onerous and always responsible
duties would seem to entitle him to sub
stantial recognition at the hands of hi
} friends and the patrons of the house gen
orally. Aside, however, from the worthy
objest of the entertainment the play rich
ly deserves all possible patronage as it i:
one of the best standard works on tn,
German stage and has lost none of it
great popularity. The rehearsals hav,
/ been numerous, the costumes are for tn,
most part new and Seiberts select orches
ira will render the original march of tn,

& lectiol of instrumental melody be

the Liederkranz and of the dramatic divi

+ dramatic entertainment, the full pro
q gramme for which has not been fully ar

will contain such variety of good things

which will be the rendition of one or DOS
slbly two of the great massed choruse
OF the coming sengerfest in which tn
united forces of both societies will par
ticipate. The mixed chorus of the Lieder
kranz, always favorite, will render one O.
more selections, Seibert's orchestra will
furnish the instrumental music, and tn,
= dramatic division will render a two ac
comedy and vaudeville in one act. respect

'Woman's Tears.'' Both societies will
exert themselves to the utmost in maxim.

with delight and pleasure, so that all VIII,
