Gossip of Those Who Still Remain
Within the City--Personal
Notes.
There have been few social events dur
Ing the past week, some Of somewhat
formal character, but the more numerous OF
very informal character. The weather
has been such as to preclude society events,
for which some preparation had not been
made previous to the advent OF the present
hot wave Events which partake OF the
character both of social diversions and out
door sport have been somewhat more numer-
Gus than usual the past week. owing to the
fact that the Fourth of July was celebrated
therein. The last day of the summer meet
ing Of the Twin City trotting club fell on
the 5th, and many of ST. PaufS best
people were present and enjoyed the sport.
The annual regatta of the Minnesota Boat
club took place in the morning over the
course at the boat house, at which were
present 4 large proportion of st. Paufs
young society people. The day was very
pleasant. Unusual interest was added to
the different events, owing to the fact that
the fair friends of the different
crews backed their favorites with hat
gentleman's room made by the fair fingers
of the loser, and in some cases money was
st2ked by the enthusiastic admirers of the
embryo 0arSmen.

AS to whether or not this practice. which,
Enough new here, is somewhat old in the

dent to one present, that it lends additional
interest to the event, for the gambling spirit
is more or less present in all human beings.
The bright eyes of a society girl sparkle
with excitement as she sees the crew on
which she has staked a trihing ornament
against a pair Of gloves, cross the line first
The victorious crew when appearing on the
ground after its victory is congratulated
with unusual fervor, and its individual
members, especially if old friends, are
treated with unusual friendliness.
