LAKE NEINNETONKA.
The Dearth Of Society Events Offset
by Fishing and Boating.
The past week at the lake has been an
uneVentful one in the way of excursions,
there having been only twO-the Anoka
and Elk River people Monday and the dem
lists Friday. The perInanents at the hotels
and among the cottages have derived
good deal of pleasure and enjoyment, as the
week has boon almost perfect for boat
riding, sailing and fishing, and then the hops
at the hotels have been brilliant and very en-
Joyable. While the boats maynOt be doing
the business they ought to, the hotels and
cottages have been rapidly filling up, and
another week will probably see the
smaller hotels with all they can hold.
There have not been any very
notable arrivals, Ex-Governor Kellogg
and Senator Packard. with their families.
OF New Orleans, who have been stopping
at the Lafayette for the past two or three
weeks, left Friday. Gov. Packard and
family went from here to Waukesha, Wis,
where they will stop a few days, and then
visit the eastern watering places.
Among the events of this week will be
the head miller excursion on Thursday, and
the sailing regatta and grand illumination
in Excelsior bay Tuesday eveng. A
large number of prominent people who
were expected at the lake the past week
went East TO attend Gen. Grants funeral.
All the old bOatmen say that fishing was
never so good as this season, and the size
and number of fish that have been caught
lately proves the assertion to be
true. Among the visitors the most
successful fisherman is probably
w. f. Murray of Chicago, he goes out every
day, and seldom returns without a fine
string. .
The most interesting event to take place
this week will undoubtedly be the Stone
Schiffman race. which occurs Saturday aft
ernoOn. 1t is thought that their twO-mile
race at Lake Calhoun on Wednesday will
not determine which is the better man.
