the management of Col. Jewett Wilcox.
and was gotten up by the management and
number of the prominent guests. The
party, numbering about $50, left the hotel at
o'clock, accompanied by Prof. Thieles

steamed away from the wharf with merry
freight The Hotel st. Louis, Excelsior,
Lake Park and points in the Upper lake
were visited, and at each hotel the
orchestra played several selections; while
the happy excursionists made their
presence known TO the people who
assembled at the wharves and along shore
to greet them. The party returned to the
hotel at a seasonable hour, delighted with
the trip and its social results. The latter
portion Of the trip was made by moonlight.
and the enjoyment was thus greatly en-
HANGED. Resolutions of thanks to all who
had interested themselves TO make the
occasion success were passed during the
evening.

DAKOTA EDITORS.
The Dakota Editorial association visited
the lake yesterday and spent a day full of
unalloyed pleasure. The members left on
the Minneapolis q st. Louis road in the
morning, and on arriving at Lake Park
were transferred to the steamer City of ST.
Louis, which was in waiting. The party
made the Lower and Upper lake trip, and
spent an hour OF more at Chap
mans, Upper lake. They returned TO the
Lake Park at 2:30 and Immediately sat
down to an elaborate dinner, to which the
journalists did ample justice. As soon as
the repast was finished, the committee of
arrangements called upon Gen. Sherman
and asked that the membert of the associa-
ton might be permitted to grasp his hand.
The general granted the request and re-
paired to the lobby of the hotel, where he
was soon surrounded by an admiring
crowd. He received them very
cordially, and shook hands with all during
half hour. The Watertown brass band.
which was in attendance, played national
airs and popular selections during the re-
ception, the piece, Marching Through
Georgia, being encored and then sung by
the entire company to the accompaniment
of the band. In response TO the
request for a speech, the general
said: Gentlemen, to-day our flag is at
half-mast and this is not the time for speech
making
He remained with the editors until their
departure. Many of those present had
fought with him during the war, and as

cheeks of strong men, who saw
their old commander for the first time in
many years. As the association marched
away from the hotel TO the boat they gave
