DOWN TO THEIR MUTTON,
Likewise Their Manners, Are the
Y, Nj. G. A. Boys at Mahtomedi.

4. Nj. =. a. Boys at Mantofneui.
Peace reigned almost supreme at
Mahtomedi last evening. Small groups
of Y. M. C. A. boys might be seen gath
| cred about the grounds discussing the
great notoriety which the conduct of
few of them had gained. The decision
arrived at was shown in their desire
to further lay themselves open to public
criticism. Mr.. Suydam had arrived. and
was looking after his boys, but he re-
fused to discuss the question. He
laughed the matter off with stating that
1.-The Y. M. c. A. boys were all right"
Secretary Horton, of St. Paul, was
hilarious. State Secretary Hildreth was
glum. Some of the boys were sorry
enough that they had noticed the news
paper criticisms, but undoubtedly the
truth of the statements published
would have compelled their recogni-
ton.
The guests of the hotel and those
about the ground are highly pleased
that they have received the treatment
melted out to them by the press of the
city. 1t could be seen that few of the
boys would like to have something to
saw. but their ardent spirits were re-
strained by the presence OF their elders.
One offered to pay the fine If he could
be given the privilege of throwing any
one of the press representatives into
the lake.
The spirit of a friendly feeling was
greatly increased by the reception ten
dered to the boys in the evening at the
club house. Notices had been posted
about the ground that all were invited
and accordingly the attendance was
large. The club house was beautifully
decorated within and without.
Toasts were proposed and re.
sponded to. "The Bible SCHOOL,
was nicely eulogized by Secretary
T. G. Horton, who, Notwithstanding the
small differences of the past few days,
thought Bible schools were grand insti-
buttons. In this one he saw great sue
cess and promise of what future ones
will be. J. Suydam, the veteran Mahto-
median, spoke upon the subject of
''Mahtomedi.'' 1.-The Mahtomedi Chau-
tauqua Assembly, was the subject as
signed to State Secretary T. A. Hill
dreth. who, although knowing nothing
of the question, spoke quite intelli-
gently upon it. He trusted that he
might never have any unfriendly con-
nections with Mahtomedi in the future.
W. S. Holmes, secretary of the Du-
luth Y. NJ: c. A, spoke upon the
''IreSS. ue press uc Sdlu TIC Hdu
found always ready to back up their
work. Newspaper men he found must
be men of brains, and their hardships
he thought were far beyond those which
could be imagined by many of the boys
and men present. The character of the
reporters he found was high, consider
ing the work they were employed in.

Miss Stella Du Frene, Miss Lena Will
Jams, Miss Lou jarvis, Miss Nina
