The past week at Lake Minnetonka
has been an interesting one, and all the
pleasure seekers enjoyed themselves.
A difference was noticeable on the YER
andas at the Hotel Lafayette, and at
the Hotel st. Louis. The crowds are
greater and the promenaders gayerand
m0re;sunburned than at any time since
the beginning Of the season. The semi
weekly hops have been better attended,
and a larger number of private dinner
parties have been given at both the
large hotels. Naturally the arrivals
have been greater and now both Man.
ager Miller and Manager Wait see clear
sailing ahead, and the outlook points to
one of the most brilliant seasons in the
history of that popular summer resort.
The sacred concerts on Sunday after
noon and evening have made decided
hit, and crowds from the city arrive at
the hotels in time to enjoy the music,
trains to Minneapolis and st. Paul in
the evening. The ever popular Danz
has prepared another musical treat for
the patrons of the Lafayette to-day.
The programme contains eight num-
bers, including violin obligato by the
well-known favorite, Emil Straka. The
DAM orchestra now consists of thirty

Prof. Frank DAM. The programme for

Naturally the Fourth of July was the
big day at the lake. The crowds were
everywhere. The hearts of the hotel
managers were made glad at the sight
of full registers and increasing bank
accounts. The railroads and steamboats,
carried more people than. ever before.
Apparently it was the aim OF everybody
to make everybody else feel at home,
and those who spent the day at the lake
had no cause to complain. The attrac-
lions were many and varied, but perhaps
none created more amusement than the
fantastic parade at Excelsior. The ten
mis- tournament at the Hotel ST. Louis
attracted several hundred spectators,
who gave the boys generous applause
for each brilliant play made. ALI day
long the spacious verandas of the Hotel
Lafayette were crowded with guests
who gave Prof. Danz and his orchestra
but little rest. 1t was critical audi
ence but they found nothing in the in
depreciation of the most excellent pro-
gramme to find fault with, and insisted
upon the repetition of several of the
numbers. In the evening there was
hop at the Hotel st. Louis, and fire.
works at many points along the shore.
The second annual Northwestern ten
mis- tournament, which takes place at
the Hotel st. Louis July 81 to rs, is at
tracing considerable attention; and. as
over $500 will be expended for prizes,
MANY of the best players in different
parts of the country will participate.
The grounds reserved for tennis now
contain five of the best courts in the
country. From the courts on all sides
there is a gentle rise of the ground,
forming natural amphitheater insur-
ing the spectators good view OF every
play. Although the entries do not close
until July 10, c. L. Sands, the Cornell
university champion; Angel and Good,
the celebrated Detroit team; Ell. O..
| Blake, of Chicago, and Sam Chase. of
Chicago, have signified their intentions
| of being present, and making desper-
ate attempt to carry off some OF the
! prizes.
The formal opening of the new club
| house of the Minnetonka yacht club
which was to have taken place on Wed
| nesday next has been postponed until
Friday, July is. The house which
stands on pretty little island just OPP
posite the Hotel st. Louis. has added
| much to the beauty of Bay st. Louis.
| The building is happy combination of
| Moorish-Gothic architecture with its
| numerous turrets and wide porcheS
| standing out in bold relief from back
ground of heavily wooded shores. On
| the first floor there is a reception room,
| a ladies parlor with an old fashioned
| fireplace Of unique design, and the
| locker room containing convenient clos
cts for the use of the members. The
ball room is on the second floor and is
| handsomely furnished. In the large
turret reached by convenient stairway
from the porch facing the lake stands
| the gun used for starting the races.
| The whole building is furnished in
natural woods and cost $4,000. The
building is in charge of James Brother
ton, who knows the lake well and who
is perhaps more at home On yacht
| than Oh shore.
