LIFE AT mINNETONKA.
Of Picnics There Will be No End--
This Neek,s Excursions.

1t can be said now that the season is
fairly in its height. There were more peO-
pie at the lake yesterday than at any time
before this summer. The past week has
been very good one, though there were
one or two days when the lake had the ap-
pearance of being deserted, but luckily the
bad weather only continued fora short
time and did not tend to drive any of the
cOttagers to their city homes, or any of the
permanentS from the hotels.
Fishing is better than it was two weeks
or month ago. The guests at the hotels
have become fully acquainted with each
other, as the large and brilliant parties and
germans that are being given will testify.
The hop at Lake Park Friday evening
was one of the most brilliant that ever took
place at the lake. This week there will be
several large excursions to the lake. On
Wednesday the AlaSOnS of Minneapolis with
their families and friends to the number of
about 400 will picnic at Silver Park.
Among other things they will have prize
drill. On Thursday the UniversaliSt socie
ties of Minneapolis have their annual baS-
ket picnic at Lake Park. 1t is expected
that there will be about 400 III the party.
The first annual picnic of the employees
of the sash and blind factories of Minneap-
oils at Lake Park yesterday was crafty
ing success. a majority of the picnickers
came out on the 9:25 train. In the fore
noon there was q game of ball between
