 A New Haven capitalist visiting in Min neapolis last week writes to the COURIER as follows:
 Imagine yourself to be in a city of 129,- 200 people where twenty-five years ago was comparative wilderness. Imagine yourse1 driving out where you did five years ago when no streets were laid out, overa 8 prairie five miles to Lake Calhoun. Imagine now in the same spot of earth hundreds of dwellings of beautiful styles of architecture, comparing we'll with the most modern styles in New Haven; wide avenues and boulevards ex- tending miles further out. Imagine "motor engines" drawing cars loaded with people twelve times day passing through this spot from the more frequented parts of Minneap- olis' busiest thoroughfares and you can have some idea of this beautiful city, which has grown from 46, GOO to 130, 900 in five years since my last visit. Imagine city like New Haven springing into existence ln that tune with 70, 900 people and you have the lowest estimate of the growth of Minneapolis the next five years to 1S9O Twenty-Five thou sand barrels of four is not "a large estimate of the daily production. The lumber busl- ness is simply immense. Railroads now ex- ist and are under construction in every dl- rection. St. Paul and Minneapolis will soon meet each other, the vacant distance between them each year decreasing. St. Anthony's Falls Minnehaha, Minnetonka Lake, etc., are some of the great attractions near of access and easily reached by cars from the heart of the city. Wholesale stores for dry goods as we'll as groceries are O prominent feature in Minneapolis and St. Paul and are such as any city might be proud of. St. Paul now contains IF, ,000 people and is growing, en- deavoring to keep pace with Minneapolis To see is to believe. Come out here. It Is said here that our old friend Washington Yale, once of Church street, New Haven,
 has slowed away half million ooHars' ana probably with truth. MT. Fairman, of New Haven, is visiting in the city. Frank H. Dayton, of New Haven, is here in the real es- tate business. MT. Charles Winship, of New Haven, is also con- sidered one of the substantial men. eight-story hotel, t'The West Hotel," costing million and half of dollars, presented to Mr. John T. West, the proprietor, by his
 late uncle, of Cincinnati. Imagine in St. Paul ''The Ryan House," equalling in pro portions the Murray Hill of New York, both splendidly equipped and kept. Imagine dozen other hotels in the two cities vieing in extent and enterprise with other city hotels, and you can have some idea of the hotel bus mess in this vicinity.
 Imagine also 1n Minneapolis boulevard extending to Lakes Harriet and Calhoun, lined with young elms on each side-the avenue nearly one hundred feet wide-and | Nf thn f7I city of only twenty-five years of age.
 The University of Minnesota is another fea- ture. Situated in East Minneapolis, with large and beautiful grounds. it is very valua- ble President Northrop Qate of Yale) is just getting about his house. His study window overlooks the Mississippi, up and down. the railroad bridges, the Falls of St. Anthony, and at an easy driving distance from Fort Smelling, where our former hon ored citizen, General Terry, has command. The fort is bluff, say one hundred feet over the river. A view from the bridge is one of admiration. General Terry is perfectly at home, as he always was, wherever placed.

 York Visit The Harugari Society of
 This City.
 Yesterday morning about forty of the Ha- rugari Leiderkranz of New York ar rived in this city on the morn ing boat from New York. They were met by delegation of the New Haven Harugari, which society they came to visit, and were escorted to the Harugari hall on Grown street, where they partook of break fast. The morning was spent in visiting East Rock Park and other places of interest about the city. The president of the New York society, in behalf of his society, pre- sented the New Haven society with a beau tiful silver drinking cup valued at $50. After dinner the societies visited Snake Rock. They returned to the hall in the evening, where social time was had. There were singing, recitations, declamations and other interesting exercises. About one-half of the visitors returned home on the night boat. The remainder will stay in town to-day and attend the annual picnic of the Harugari so- ciety at Bassermans. There will be a sum- mer nights festival at the grove this evening and there will be grand display of fire works.
