The week just closed brought to Minneap-
oils no social event of especial briliance, but
was withal, quite we'll filled in with sue
cession of gayeties of minor order. With
progressive euchre parties, bean bag socials,
reunions, masquerades at the Kinks and the
customary run of balls AID dances, the city
found hosts in Minneapolis people, which
arose largely from the fact that many of our
own folks are absent, while still more are
daily going and preparing to go. The New
Orleans exposition is drawing on us now,
and among the arrivals ut the Crescent city
are many Mnneapolitaus. One of the social
attractions, introduced through the week. is
| tive game consists in endeavoring to throw
bags filed with beans through hole in a
board. The board is three feet long by two
feet wide, Ind is placed in the shape of an
inclined plane, one end resting on the floor,
the other end being ten inches above it. In
the center of the board near the top, is a
hole six inches square. Bags filled with
beans are provided. Four of them are four
inches square, and one is little larger. The
participants divide themselves into two
parties by Choosing sides,'' and the game
commences. For every bag that is thrown
through the hole, the thrower standing fif-
teen or twenty feet away, ten is scored !;
for every bag that falls outside, fifteen is de-
Quoted. This count is for the smaller bags.
The large bag counts twenty when thrown
in, and thirty is deducted when it falls out
side. The game keeps the participants on
their feet, and is productive of much amuse
ment.
