Events or social nature at w illte
Bear have until the past week clustered
around either in the vicinity of Dell
wood or in the neighborhood of the
Lakeshore pavilion, but now the inhab-
itants of the Mahtomedi shores come
to the front with an entertainment
which has not been excelled by any
thing ever given in the gayer portions
of the lake. Mr.. and Mrs. 0. II. Ael-
mann, of the hotel. scattered broadcast
among their lake and city friends invl-
! tationS to the first entertainment OF a
distinctly social nature that has ever
| been given on the religious shores or
! Mahtomedi. A fete champete. an open
air festival, was the attraction. Hun
dreds of Japanese lanterns tranformed
the picturesque grounds into fairy
land, and some 400 guests wandered
in and out among the trees. enchanted
with the unusual and attractive scene.
A full band on the hotel balcony added
to the enjoyment of the evening, and
supper on the lawn and dance after
ward in the parlors of the hotel gave
the finishing touch to most successful
entertainment.
The first canoe race of the season oc-
Cured last week Saturday, and while
in number the fleet was not imposing,
very pretty and exciting little contest
tries, ''B. H." l.. P. Ordway; Betsy
Jane" A. NJ. Peabody; ''If,'' r. P. Me
Cune; "Cynet," r. G. Weight. The
crafts sailed from Dellwood around a
triangular course of two miles. and tile
result was victory for the "lf." with
Betsy Jane" second. The "B. H."
broke her rudder, and the Cynet did not
finish.
Last evening at the pavilion musical
entertainment OF a high order of merit
was given under the management of
Prof Eugene Kaueff1er, of st. Paul.
The selections by Miss Lucy Darragh
on the piano, S. Guibert on the flute.
Louis AnatO. YiOlincellO, and Sam
Ettinger on the either showed that the
performers were masters. The vocal
selections by Miss Melytha Adams, Of
New Orleans, and Prof. kaueff1er were
worthy Of great praise.
Among the yachtsmen the week has
seen more changes than any of the sea-
son. The regatta season is nearing its
close. and every one who has any sort
of chance is trying every possible
means to get a little more speed out OF
their yachts. j. p. Elmer. of the
Nushka, has not been winning races
with his customary ease lately. and now
resorts to sloop rigging to bring the
old favorite NuShka to the front. An
enormous jib has been added to his al
ready large canvas, and blood is in
the willy yachtsman's eye. The Mar
guerite has caught the sloOp craze and
now sails much faster, and Walter Nor
toms Catharine, it is reported. will soon
sport another sail. The new yacht of
Paul GOtZian'S is beauty, but she is
light as cookie shell and needs to be
handled with great care.
