The Excursions.


presented TO the crowds of travellers chang
ing cars at this point on their Journeys East
and West was a magnificent advertisement of
the ice palace and coming carnival. The ap-
pearanee of the clubs in their gay uniforms
drew forth many favorable comments and
complimentary remarks from the strangers
present waiting the departure of trains. 1t
was nearly $50 o'clock when the last eX-
eursion left the depot, and the heavily laden
train Of seven coaches pulled out of the
depot on its way to Faribault. There were
by actual count 500 uniformed members of
the clubs on this train, and jOllier crowd
never enjoyed themselves upon a rail-
road trip On this excursion TO Faribault
the clubs represented were the st. Georges
SnOwshOe, Wakouta. Windsor, NuShka,
Crescent, Uncle Sans. High School. Globe
and Ryan TObOggan clubs. just previous
to the departure Judge ID. \. j. Baker,
clad from head to foot in his bran new uni
form, appeared and was heartily cheered
by the boys. DR.. Murphy aud Judge
Chandler. who stood near by, were much
chagrined as they observed the sensation
the judge had created and then
remembered that although on the ex-
cursion they were only in civilian dress.
on THE WAY DOWN
the boys amused themselves In various
ways. A great many passed the time in
the seductive game of euchre or seven-up,
while others enjoyed themselves by airing
their musical accomplishments, ''Baby's
Lullaby" Good Bye My Lover, selections
from ''MikadO," and camp-meeting hymns
were the songs INDUCED in, and among the
singers none were more noticeable
than Judge Chandler and DR.. Muir
ply as they warbled snatches from the
popular japanese opera. The first stop
was made at Pennington for ten minutes,
and a march was made through the prin-
cipal streets. The music of the band,
and the merry shouts of the boys, called
out the inhabitants. who had not expected
the visit, and who were unprepared for the
sudden appearance of 600 snowshOers and
tobOgganers marching through their quiet
little town.
The boys were given hearty reception,
however. and in return gave three rousing
cheers for Pennington as the train pulled
away from the town. At Mortified halt
was made and march up town. The whole
population was out and lined the sidewalks
and greeted the boys. The Acme Snow
shoe and TObOggan club of that city met
the excursion at the depot and escorted them
through the city. after which they joined
the st. Paul clubs and went on tO FaTibault.
The club was differed by Capt. Joel Z.
HeatwOle, editor of the Mortified News.
and Lieut. DR.. T. NJ. Coon. The train ar
rived at Farbault shortly after 9 o'clock,
and line of march was formed and the
procession started for town. The ladies
were taken up in half dozen large sleighs,
and every provision was made by Fari-
bault people for the comfort of the visitors.
The march through town led up Main street
past the Brunswick hotel, and then q
cOuntermarch back to the hotel, where
splendid lunch was served.
The ladies were served with luncheon i'm
she parlOrs. 4 great many attended the
skating rink, in response to an invitation
from the proprietor, and there took posses
lion of the floor.
BOUNCING
was the general order Of the evening, and
| one by one the prominent citizens of Fari-
bault were picked out by the lynx-eyed
scouts and hauled on to the floor and
bounced. Some of the GLOBE boys spied
Felix Pierce of the Mortified News standing
looking on and sounding the cry of warn
| ing to the clubs, he was soon caught up
and tossed about in first-class style. At IL
o'clock the return start was made, and the
homeward journey was a repetition of the
| back az the union depot at las completely
tired out, but thoroughly enjoyed with
their trip.
