Hotel Arlington, ut Minnewaukan,
was formally opened and the advent of
the railroad duly celebrated by grand
ball and banquet last night. Devils
Lake cut no small figure in the cere-
mony, about rs of her citizens being
present. The imposing structure was
ablaze i'll illumination and its broad halls
and stairways and ample rooms were
thronged with Il gay and animated peo-
pie. Mr.. and Mrs. Wise, the host and
hostess, and the venerable Lincoln, as
manager, made the guests feel complete
ly at home, while Banker Rolfc, the
Messrs. Ware, Talbot, McHenry, Rich
mond, Campbell, Beach and other we'll
known west-endcrs, let nothing escape
that would add to the success of the af-
fair and the full enjoyment of their in
vited friends. The elaborate spread of
good things in the splendid dining room
was one of the captivating features.

terday afternoon, and touching at Tot,
ten, arrived at Minnewaukan at 9
o'clock. The dock being uncompleted,
the guests went ashore in a wood barge
and little boats, and were conveyed to
the hotel in carriages. Returning this
morning, considerable difficulty was en-.
countcrcd con the side" in getting
aboard. A brisk east wind was blowing
and the barge insisted on going ashore.
An 500 foot cable was run out from the
vessel and by this means the barge,
twice loaded, was brought alongside the
steamer. The home run was made in
four hours and II half against heavy
hcadwind and Il hcaving sea.
