The summer assembly at Mahtomedi will
open tomorrow and continue five days, and
great preparation has been made for it.
Mahtomedi is situated on the eastern shore
of White Bear lake, just in the edge of
Washington county, and on the ST. Paul Sc
Duluth railroad, sixteen miles from st.
Paul. These grounds were originally laid
out and chosen for religious purposes by
Rev. DR.. Samuel G. Smith several years
ago. The hotel, cottages and camping
grounds are on the high bank overlooking
the lake, and by great many people this is
considered the finest point on the lake. At
any rate less of the encroachments of
civilization are seen here than at White
Bear, where the houses and tents are too
thick for those seeking quiet The cOnse-
quence is that many campers avail them
selves of this spot far removed from the
village turmoil, yet convenient to the rail-
road, and pitch their tents among the
plenteous shade trees on points overlooking
the lake. On the grounds little removed
from the hotel cottages and camping grounds
is one of the finest if not indeed the finest
pavilion in the United States. In con-
structing it natural hollow was selected
and it is built with the stage in the center
with seats resting one above another in a
complete circle capable of seating several
thousand people. The sides are so made
| of ho f,,rn HI
the opportunity to hold meeting under
roof and yet enjoy the outdoor air. The
beauty of this plan of construction is seen
when music is rendered from the stage in
the center of the audience, the effect being
extremely fine.

| tauqua Literary and Scientific Circle and
