s-Is{fIEsS summer. Picnics,
EGS$sfSSssSl4sE{ large and small,
S57s1z @SzZS were frequently
indulged in, and
of the former
Mahtomedi received one of mammoth
proportions. Thursday morning at 9
O'Clock the Northern Pacific employees
TO the number of 200 or more, filling
eight coaches of special train, swooped
down upon the beautiful Mahtomedi
grounds, and took entire possession of
the premises. 1t was the fourth annual
picnic, the great jubilee which is eagerly
anticipated for months by the workmen
of the shops. Every one of them was
on hand with his wife, mother, sister
or best girl, and all were determined to
crowd as much fun into the day as the
opportunities at hand would permit.
The Mahtomedi fleet of boats was soon
engaged, and, after rowing, fishing and
SplaShing around for a few hours, to
TO the park, where an elaborate pro-
gramme of athletic contests was ar
ranged. Races of all conceivable kinds
and descriptions were then INDUCED in.
The braWny, muscular ShOpmen proved
themselves athletes of the first order,
and the races were hotly contested.
Mady of the contests were arranged
with view of provoking laughter
rather than admiration, and the figures
which some of the contestants cut i'm
sack races, three-legged races and others
of like nature, were ridiculous in the
extreme. The picnickerS having tired of
field sports turned their attention to
an occupation in which the la
dies figured more prominently.
AS dancing is looked upon with holy
horror by the Mahtomedl assembly who
control that portion of the lake, a plat
form was erected Just across the rail-
road track outside of the grounds, and
there the picnickers who were so in
clined tripped the light fantastic toe at
the price of ten cents dance-a most
original plan certainly upon which
to conduct dancing party. The festiv-
tiles of one kind or another continued
until p. m, when the tired but enthu-
siastic railroad people took the train for
home, unanimously voting Mahtomedi
the most delightful picnic grounds ae-
cessible TO st. Paul, and vastly superior
to their former resort at Minnetonka.

Decoration day, contrary to all expec-
tatiOn, and to its proYerblal custom,
dawned bright and pleasant, and, as a
consequence, crowds of pleasure-Seek-
ers from the city sought the lake. The
St.~Paul & Duluth ran special trains,
and the cars were crowded to their ut
most capacity. Ramaley's pavilion was
thrown open, where the people were
refreshed with the customary delicacies
INDUCED in on hot day. The prin-
cipal event of interest, of course, was
the yacht race, and the lake was cov-
cred with new boats and sailboatS seek
ing favorable position for seeing the
great contest. The Dellwood club house
was thrown open to its members and
their friends for the first time, and that
usual retired and quiet portion of the
lake was the scene of great activity.

The Marguerite, belonging to J. w.
Taylor, on windy day last week per-
formed a most extraordinary feat; one,
but for the fact that it had several wit
nesses, would not be readily believed.
The boat was left with sail hoisted at
the dock, rather inSecurely fastened.
In some manner it became free, and
sailed directly across the lake, dis
tance of mile or more, and Just before
reaching the shore veered around and
came back home on the other tack, land
ing on the shore a few hundred feet
from the starting point. This was all
done without human being OH board,
and is absolutely and literally true.
The peninsula, rhe widest and most
beautiful portion of the lake, has re-
ceived another occupant. Miss Darrell
is building cottage near the 'front.'
Mrs. Williams and daughters have al
ready occupied their cottage Oh the
peninsula.
AT Mrs. brakes lakeside cottage Mr..
and Mrs. w. B. Watts, William Hubbell,
st. Paul; w. B. Roberts, Anaconda,
Mont. Judge Lemke. Saltwater. and Mr.
and Mrs. j. w. harrington are ex-
pected the first of the week.
The old Boardman cottage, on Lake
avenue, has just been occupied by Mrs.
Edmund Rice and family.
Dellwood has received another adj
dition in W. II. Breen and family.
X. ). Markoe and family will move
into their cottage tomorrow.
Z. ii. johnson has occupied his cot
tage on Lake avenue.
