Opening of the Ramaley Pavilion
at White Bear.
Last night was gala night for White
Bear, it being the occasion Of the open
ing of the new Lake Shore pavilion,
built this season by j. D. Ramaley, of
Ramaley Park. The building, which is
a large three-story structure, with four
graceful towers, stands on the lake
shore about 100 feet from the Statl0n
and commands one of the best views OF
the lake. On the ground floor are large
refreshment rooms and walks leading
to the piers and boat houses. On the
second floor is the beautiful auditorium,
capable of seating about LOCO people,
finished and freScoed i'll the best style
of art. The decorations are espe-s
ciaIlv neat. the cOlOrs blending
in beautiful harmony of browns.
Harry G. Carter, the well-known the
atrical architect, furnished the plans for
the summer theater, and the arrange
ments for attaining the freeSt Ventlla-
ton are perfect. The scenery is clev-
erlv done. and is the work OF a. r;
Morse, of Minneapolis, who alse panied
the drop curtain, a beautlful water
scene. Over two Thousand people
took advantage OF the generous gen MS
offers of the st. Paul 81 Duluth road
ard Mr.. Ramaley and filed the audi
forum and corridors to overlooking,
while hundreds of others in sail and
rowboats listened to the music from the
lake. The ball which followed the set
nrogramme was brilliant and was at
tended by the elite of the city and lake.
The elaborate musical programme
hegan at S;45. with a composition or
Mr Seibert's, written especially for the
occasion and entitled "With Full Sail, ~
a brilliant and inspiring piece OF
music. with lots of Verve. This was
followed by Auer's "La Mueth ID
Pontici." and Hon. G. D. OBrien rose
to make the dedicatOry speech, tie
spoke III high terms of Mr. kamaleys
public spirit, of his belief IN the
good effects of Minnesota ozone, ana
of his faith in the drawing power OF the
lake and in its glorious future. ne r.
ferred especially to his large expendl-
ture without any guarantee oIher tllan
the tendency of the people to know
good thing. In conclusion he said: Il
dedicate this building to mirth, ENJOY
ment. TO the climate of Minnesota and
to the use of all good citizens" Turn
ing to Mr.. Ramaley, who was at the
rear of the stage he introduced him as
the most public spirited citizen at the
lake.
After referring briefly to the compli-
ment paid him, Mr.. Ramaley said: Near
ms are the cities of st. Paul and Mlnneap-
oils. great in palatial buildings.ln enter
prise. in progress; and, if the census
taker could only be allowed to pursue
his way undisturbed, they would very
soon rank among the foremost clues OF
the world. But, seriously: these at
tempts at swelling the population OF our
cities are only the legitimate outgroWth
of that restless spirit which pullds
great cities and brings apout grano re-
suits. st. Paul and Minneapolis are
perfect whirlpools of commercial IN
dustry, where men enter, become lm-
bued with the mad desire for wealth,
and wear out their lives IN the feyerlsh,
unceasing struggle. To the worn
out business man, to the Jaded
clerk. TO all those who feel
the need of quiet and rest,
the quiet wooded shores of White Bear
lake hold out a perpetual invitation.
The singing birds, the ripping waves
and the pure air give peace and rest to
the tired brain, and week spent here
renews the energies for greater
achievement. In erecting this build
ing l had in view the necessity
which has long existed for such
a resort, and / hope that it may be
source of pleasure to all for many years
to come. Let us dedicate it to the young
and the old, to the rich and poor, to
every class. to every nationality in that
broad cosmopolitan spirit which per-
vades our country, and which is the
foundation of our national greatness.
Let the pleasures of tonight be pro-
phetic of the future, and to all OF you
who have honored us with your presence
I will say that | hope you will enjoy III
the fullest measure the festivities of
the evening, and that there may linger
in your hearts pleasant memories OF
this happy event."
