Another week in the season of 1889 at
st. PauPs own watering place has come,
and gone. 1t has witnessed the arrival
of many from the SANITY City, who
came out for few days to catch a few
whiffs Of the balmy, cool breezeS that
have blown off the lake during these
hot days and nights. Notwithstanding
the heat in the city it has been very
pleasant here at the lake. While some
days have been very warm here, the
evenings have been cool and pleasant,
and the mosquitoes not very bad. BY
the way, there is considerable complaint
coming from those who go to Mime
tonka on account of the terrible mos
quitoes that make their headquarters at
that place. Those who have had eX-
perience claim that the Minnetonka
mosquito can get in his work through
numerous thickneSSeS of clothes
and that his body is so slim that the
mosquito netting affords no protection
from his attacks. The White Bear mos
quito is a meak and p2ny insect that
can and does cause but little annoyance
to visitors, and very little complaint is
heard in regard to the insects ravages.
The first prominent social event of
the past week was the hop at the Leip
Oh Tuesday evening. This was one of
the largest Of the season, and many
quite fine toilets were observable among
the
MANY BEAUTIFUL LADIES
that adorned the ball room. Wednesday
evening the Seibert band concert a.
Leip's pavilion was the attraction for
the lake residents. while number came
out from the city to enjoy boat ride or
sail and listen to the music. Friday
evening there was an impromptu hop at
the Leip and another band concert last
evening, while the visit of the Wiscon-
sin editors seemed to furnish little
diversion. A great many attended the
Mahtomedi assembly during the week,
and especially the lecture of L. De Witt
Talmage Saturday afternoon. Bathing
furnishes considerable amusement to the
visitors. and walk along the shore on
an afternoon or evening allows one to
catch heeting glimpses Of cleaning
white shoulders and arms of fair bath
ers. Some very tasty and beautiful
bathing suits are worn, and a great
number of good swimmers and divers
are among the summer girls. Several
sailing parties have taken place, and aSt
a whole there has been enough going
on to furnish amusement for those who
come here to have good time socially
Then there is one thing that has helped
out greatly, there are plenty Of young
men here, so the Sanity City society
girl has not, or does not have to pine
for man to tlirt with.
THE EDITORIAL JAUNT. +
For several weeks our citizens have
been on the tip toe of expectation in
regard to the coming of the Wisconsin
Editorial association. The citizens

gone on tour of inspection on their
way down from Duluth. The train was
in charge of Conductor John Cor

throttle of the engine. A large number
of the st. Paul fraternity had gone-up
the road to meet their Wisconsin

Times, president of the association, had
charge of the party, and was the right
man in the right place. Most all of our
people who were present made anxious
Inquiries after George w. Peck, and felt
highly honored when they had the
pleasure of an introduction to that IA
nous humorist. Mr. Peck seemed to
enjoy the occasion immensely. The
train departed for st. Paul at about
o'clock, many of the visitors expressing
regrets at being obliged to leave our
pleasant village SO soon.
