q HAPPY and Memorable Occasion-Ser-

0ramme-RepresentG

| The representatives of the Sovereign Grand
Lodge of Odd Fellows are not slow to apprec iate
nor 10 enjoy good time in its most liberal sense
Yesterday, accompanied by their families
and friends-and they are legion-they accepted
the hospitality rendered by the Minneapolis
brethren. and participated in picnic excursion
to Lake Minnetonka. A $3.50 over 1000 souls
boarded Minneapolis & St. Louis special
tram at the union depot and in a few minutes
two huge locomotives began tugging away pull
ing out the colossal train composed of fourteen
coaches, ''loaded TO the guards as an old tar
would remark. 1t one of the
merriest, happiest parties that ever
rode out from any depot Everybody seemed
bent upon not only enjoying the occasion in the
fullest but upon filing ''the cup of joy'' for
everybody else. And they succeeded admirably
EIuberant youth was given full sway. The
youth held no corner in this commodity how
ever, If commodity be applicable. Gray haired
patrlarchs were gay and lively and frislky as
young colts turned out in luxuriant pasture
| Vertically, it was an off day
Sidwelrs band was aboad the train and dis
pensed brass music ''to the queens taste"
| 1t was about eleven o'clock when the train ar
rived at Solberg's Point where the huge steamer
| the Belle of Mnnetonka was moored in wait for
the party. The gay pcnickers began scrambling
off the train but the announcement quickly fol-
lowed:
| "All aboard; this is not where we go abo ard
the steamer
Back upon the train they climed only to learn
that the order "an aboard had been counter
manded by those in authority, and then little
time was lost in changing from the train to
the boat. En- route, many had expressed,
their doubt respecting the capacity of the boat
/ to comfortably care for so large party, but all
four was quickly dispelled, as some said there
was room for nearly US many more.
IT WAS TEMPERANCE AFFAIR
Most picnic excursions are supplied with
goodly amount of ''Schlitz's wIne,'' but this was
an exception. Not drop of the beverage was
aboard. few, however, had fortified them
selves against possible malaria attacks by re-
markable forethought, and providing a small
flask. But they were few indeed.
The steamer made tour of lower lake. but
did not attempt to navigate the narrows, which
arc just now in an exceedingly precarous condi-
ton, despite the appreciable rise in the water,
resultant from the recent heavy rainfall. Sid
wells brass band filed the air with sweet melo-
dies the boat plowed the waters. The Odd
Fellows and their friends passed the time in a
conviyal way, as only such princes OF geniaity as
the Odd Fellows are, cn All guests remarked
"What fine body of men," and they evidently
| spoke by rule. Principal among them may be
! incidentally mentioned, John c. Underwood, gov
ernor OF Kentucky, an especially distinguished
and noble looking gentlemen, who is an ex-journ-
alist OF note in the blue grass state; DIR. Ct. w.
| Lawrence, Of Chicago, as jolly wholesouled fell
! low as one could meet; Francis Jewett who has
| served three terms mayor OF Lowell, Mass,
| aud Is now treasurer of the Erie Tele-
phonec omapany; Mayor Goodwin, of
Atlanta, Georgia. Mayor Roe, of
Oshawa. Ontario; Dr. Ambrose Lawrence,
and wife, of Boston, (ex-mayor of LOVELY; and
Jno Gibson, of Stratford, Ont.
