day at White Bear Resorts
White Bear Lake was cverrun with
throngs of pleasure seekers yesterday.
The lake is a popular resort because Of
its miles of grove-lined shore aud the
superior boating and fishing opportu-
mites. Besides the villages Of White
Bear and Mahtomedi there areanumer-
Gus cottages on the lake shore where
people enjoy passing the simmer sea-
son. A number of people from New
York and other Eastern states lind It a
pleasant place during the heated term,
but the great body of visitors are from
st. Paul. They are patrOnizing tito
large extent this year. Yesterday was
a great day for the entire lake shore.
All the trains from St. Paul were packed
and thousands of men, women and
children, attired in holiday forgery
surrounded the large or filled the nuiner-
Gus crafts that foated on its surface.
For the most part they were not senti-
mental peopIe-intereSted in studying
the history of the early surroundings or
the legends told about it, and from one
of which it derives it's name. The
masses of the people seen there yeSter-
day belong to the toilers. They seemed
glad to resort to such place for a days
recreation. There were men with their
wives and children, and thousands more
of young men and women, who had de-
termined to get as much enjoyment as
possible out of the day. These spent
the time in excurting around the lake in
the steamer Manitoba, the naphtha
yachts, sailing yachts and hundreds of
row boats, or in dancing or bathing
