THE REALM OF SOCIETY.


good deal of interest centered in the
event. and numbeS of ladies and gem
tlemen resident at the lakes and from
the city were there to witness 1t. Inc
Minnetonka Yacht club members who
were present we're Messrs. w. 4.
Tbaver. A. Won Schlegel. Robert Gale,
Frank Heffelfinger, William Morse, U.
H.. Sweeny and II. r. Van Dusen,
owner of the the Modesty. The race
was over the regular course, ana was
won by the Nushka with eight minutes
to spare, Eugene Ramaley's Manltou
second, and H. r. Van Dusen's Modesty
third. A fleet of sailing crafts followed
the race, the leading boat and one Whlea
kept the race in sight throughout, being
Andrew PetersOn'S Storm King, Wlth
party of ladies aboard. e
The ladies' scuIlng match, partici-
pated in by number of the lady guests
of the Leip on Thursday afternoon. was
one of the most fun-pr0voklng contests
ever seen on the lake There were
about halt dozen entries, and the
course was half a mile with turn. The
result demonstrated that in ladies' races
a coxswain should be carried in each
boat. One young lady, well known in
both town and country circles, created
a good deal Of speculation as to her IN
tentions by pulling quarter OF mile
out of her course OH the run home, ana
arriving at the landing stage after the
other contestants had finished supper.
The race was won easily by Miss Key
ser, who pulls firSt-rate oar.
The semi-weekly hop at Ramaley's
pavilion was attended last night by the
largest crowd ever seen at one of these
popular events. In addition to the
large number of residents at the lake
who were present, fully a hundred
couples arrived from st. Paul and many
from Minneapolis. Seibert's orchestra
was fully equal to the occasion, and the
evening was a thoroughly enjoyable
one.
Miss Madeline Carney, of East
Eleventh street, gave tea party last
evening, at which about twenty friends
of the young lady were present. A
booth had been erected on the lawn,
and in this tea was served. Later in
the evening a dance was held, Among
the guests were Misses Murphy, Alden,
.Jacoby, Babb, st. Quintin, Sister, Nc
Lean and BaIy; Messrs. Wand, Klein,
Overlook, Oldfeld, Patterson, Sharpe
and Blondin.
The recently published intentions Of
st. Paul musical people anent the OF
ganiZation of an orchestra after the
manner of the Boston Symphony have
created good deal of comment OF a
favorable character among those in
fereSted in musical matters. A we'll
known orchestra leader said yesterday
that he regarded the plan as thor
oughly possible one, and thought that
all the St. Paul people ought to unite in
supporting it. In conversation with the
directors of the various orchestral Or
CARNATIONS now existing it has been
discovered that they unite in favoring
the idea. One gentleman remarked
that the existence OF such an orchestra
would demonstrate how more forcibly
than ever st. Paul's need of all audi
forum building.
With the approach of the winter sea-
son renewed interest is being taken in
the programmes of the various vocal
organizations which have done such eX-
cellent work in past seasons. 1t is al
ready established that the Blake
chorus will give a series of entertain
ments, and, with the hard work invari-
bly, bestowed by the director on his
presentations, it is safe to presume that
the events to come will be at least OF as
high grade of excellence as those OF
past. The Christ church choir has been
charming the ears of the lake residents
during the past week. This choir, OF
which so much is expected, i'll view OF
its past achievements, will be in its
usual fine form by the time the concerts
are in season.
Miss Sarah Mealey, daughter of Mr..
and Mrs. Mealey of 574 st. Peter street.
returned home from Europe on Thurs

Mealey has been studying music in the
Conservatives of Paris and Berlin for

most welcome acquisition to the local
musical world.
