tonka. The ball given by Manager Waite to
the officers of the Third infantry stationed at
Fort Smelling, and the officers in the depart
ment of Dakota, as well as the members Of
the Loyal Legion, was brilliant
success. There was crush of prom
inent people, hosts Of beautiful
women, scores of fascinating men. magn1fi-
cent costumes, artistic decorations and di-
vine music. The guests began to arrive early
in the afternoon, but it was the last train out
from the city that carried the immense num-
Der of people There were ten coaches for
st. Paul and Minneapolis densely loaded
AS they walked up from the station they saw
the exterior Of the hotel draped with flags
and bunting, but they did not pause to adj
mire them. There was a wild scramble for
rooms and then dinner. Half an hour after
the train was in there was not a vacant
room in the hotel From $50 until
the splendid FIT. Smelling band rendered
an excellent programme and it was hugely
enjoyed by the crowds which thronged the
broad verandas. But all the ladies did not
hear the music, or at least did not appreciate
1t, for they were concealed in their rooms
preparing for the social event of the summer
season. From the crowds which promenaded
ing to be great affair. Col. Hans Mattson,
Albert Scheffer, Gen. Bishop, Mai. White, of
st. Paul; E. NJ. Wilson, Mayor Babb and
Judge Rea, of Minneapolis, moved airily
about as If their dancing days had just be-
gun.
1t was after o'clock when the beautifully
decorated dining room was thrown
open and the weary throng of
dancers entered upon the evenings
enjoyment. Then the army men were
seen at their best. Grizzled veterans, bald
headed and gallant, stood by the young
subaltern in uniform untarnished by service.
1t is a haven Of delight for the young officer
stationed at a post near a city. Garrison
hops are nice affairs, but not to be compared
with the balls in q city where pretty girls are
legion, and each one is dying to dance with
the gentleman with straps. How beautiful
their blue jackets fitted them, and how each
fair maiden strove to look her prettiest
while magnifcently attfred matrons smiled
indulgence. But the young man in an ordi-
nary dress suit was not to be thrown COM

When the superb Fort Smelling orchestra
sent the familiar air of LA Titana" resound-
ing through the hotel, the sweet rhythm en-
tangled the feet of many an indolent one,
who vowed not to dance because of the heat,
and carried him away In the mazes Of the
waltz. Never was better music played for q
ball. and seldom has there been better selec

crowds came up the walk from the cottages
and the other hotels. Over 800 people at

A spanking breeze, a half dozen Of evenly
matched yachts, eager and ambitious sailors,
have the most favorable conditions for a sue
cessful sailing regatta. That of the Excel
sior Yacht club which took place yesterday
afternoon was one Of the most successful
ever sailed under the clubs auspices. To be
sure, the starters were few, but it was
closely contested race, and never was there q
better wind.
Carl Pickett steered the Peerless around,
and Fred Hopkins was at the helm of the
Atalanta. H. j. Burton sailed his beautiful
rora. Mr.. Gaty didn't think his old crew
the very best that could secured, so he got
new. one. The boys borrowed the
swallow, and that boat was given
second place. 1t was the Atalanta's
day and the Atalantas wind. She sailed In
her old form and won the race easily. Only
sloops sailed the race. No cats were started
The course was from Excelsior to Ferguson's
point to the Big Island buoy and back to
Excelsior. 1t was sailed over twice, making
the distance about ten miles. 1t was sailed
in hr IL min and sec, the fastest time
ever known over the course.
The final gun was fred at 3: % and thirty
seconds later the Peerless crossed the line
Less than minute later the Volante fol
lowed, with Swallow and Atalanta next.
Phyllis broke bobstay just before the gun
was fired and it could not start. When the
first buoy was reached the Peerless had
good lead, with the Volante next ATLANTA
third, Swallow fourth, MOdesty fifth. OFF
Gales island the Peerless was leading, while
the ATLANTA had come up to the Volante and
began 70 fight for second place. The Hop
kins boat soon passed the Volante and
started for the Peerless. The Aurora began
to sail very fast, and moved up to fourth
place. The Modesty pulled out Of the race.
Off Big island the Aurora lost ground being
to huff up constantly. Coming
back from the Big lake buoy the Atalanta
overlook the Peerless and passed her with
ease. At the Excelsior buoy she had a good
lead, with the other boats strung out behind
her. Standing out on the second turn
around the ATLANTA tackled way over
to Big island. while the others made short
tack. The result was that the ATLANTA got
an immense lead, as she turned the buoy
without another tack. The Volante turned
the buoy second, just ahead of the Peerless.
They came around side by side with the
former to windward. II was hot race for
while, but the Peerless got the lead. Then
the Aurora came up, passed the Volante and
at the Big Island buoy she was leading. The
Atalanta finished first, the Aurora second.
the Peerless third, the Volante fourth, and
the Swallow fifth, The time allowance of the
boats changed the result. That of the Swal-
low is six minutes and it placed her in sec
ond place The judges were A. NJ. Knox, It.
