CHATTER " AND LAST.
 Leaving Oconomowoc In our special car coupled on to a fast express, we started for St. Paul. Enroute we were delayed several hours on account of an immense land slide ahead of us. and finally had to go around over another railroad, arriving In St. Paul next morning, having been aboard some twenty hours. The party tlned at the Windsor, magnttIcent hotel, and then took in the city There was notl,- ing of special interest In St. rWuI, ex- cept the buildings, and such things as one finds any day in any live city. We were quite sick during the day, and hence did not enjoy the perambula- tion. At 4 o'clock the party left St, Paul for her twin sister Minneapolis. We got left on account of a misunder- standing about our car and from the fact that our baggage was In 1t. We were in the right however, for nfter hunting up the yard master, walking about mile and carrying a heavy valise back to the depot, suffering with an awful headache, we learned that others. too, hnd been left, and that our car did not leave until o'clock. A train goes every hour between St. Paul and Minneapolis. We arrived at the latter place in time to get splendid supper ut the Nicollet Hotel, after which we took in the theatre, where the beautiful opera of "The Bohemian Girl was the attraction.
 The next day we went to Lake Min- netouks and spent the greater portion of the day. We took yacht ride on the lake, and, but for our heavy over coat would have been very uncomfart- ably cool. The lake has over 800 miles of shore. After the ride. we procured fishing hook and line, and an hour or two was passed very interestingly with the fishes-catclling quite number. This beautiful lake affords the finest fishing in the country. Some twenty or thirty pounds of small fish were safely landed, and afterwards Messrs. Wadley, Eakin and Emmeraon took the premium hy bringing in several fine black bass. and two pickerel which would have weighed about eight pounds each. Perch, croppie, brim and cat abound there also. Thero are a number of fine hotels near the lake, and it is delightful summer resort. Returning to Minneapolis. we visited Minnchaha Falls, going In under them, and enjoying the scenery very much. From here We walked over to the Sol diers Home, and inspected the build ings. They arc beautifully located and very comfortably furnished. The Mississippi river Is but few yards from tlis point, and from it's bank fur ni,hes Il view. which is simply exeuis- itely grand. Old Ft. Smelling is to be seen in the distance.
