Schiffmamn-Harri tom Race.
Yesterday was a delightful day at the
lake, and the fur overcOatS, which had al
most seemed necessary for the two previous
days, were discarded for the summer. The
visitors were few in number, however, and
but for the three picnic parties at Lafayette
and Lake Park the lakeside would have
been almost deserted. Proprietors of ho-
tells and boarding houses are hoping for a
''spell of weather soon in order to revive
their dropping spirits and add to the con-
tents of the money drawer. With excur-
sions daily during the remainder of the
week, and every boat in the service, mat
tiers ought to be little more lively than
they have been for several days past.
THE SCHIFFMANN-HARRI RACE.
Arrangements for this important event
in boating circles are progressing finely to-
ward completion and if the weather and
lake conditions are favorable Saturday a
very large crowd will witness fine contest.

take daily spins lover the course. The

Park. and will be rowed between and Up. m.

pate spirited contest. Frank Seymour,
cashier of the Merchants bank, st. Paul,
will be referee and DR.. McLarin and ]. J.

MANAGER ZIAIMERMANS STATEMENT.
The charge has been frequently circulated
during the past three days, since the GLOBE
announced the change in the management
of the City of st. Louis, that it was move
on the part of the Manitoba road to build
up profitable excursion business on its
side Of the lake at the expense of Lake
Park and Excelsior. General Manager Zim-
norman of the Navigation company, which
controls all but one Of the large boats on
the lake, having heard of these statements,
said to the GLOBE yesterday: ''1t is absurd
to charge me with having such intentions,
and as for the Manitoba road, it has moth
ing whatever to do with the boats Of the
Navigation company. The road hasn't a
cent invested in the property and has moth
ing to say regarding its management. The
control of the City was assumed by me
simply and purely as matter Of business.
No favoritism toward any company or
any locality about the lake will be shown
by us, and we propose to give the lake a
boat service that will conduce to the pleas
ure and profit of all our patrons. The new
time card will be issued about July 1, and
we shall then be fully prepared to cater
successfully to all who favor u.s."
