The most brilliant, enjoyable and all
lround successful season ever known at
White Bear has at last come to an end.
The hotels and club houses are all
closed, the yachts are being dismantled
and stored away for the winter. All is
quiet and peaceful-a most decided con-
trast to the gayety of the last three
months. A glance backward reveals q
season unparalleled in the history of
this pleasant retreat, one which places
White Bear in the front rank as an at
tractive summer resort. and gives Lake
Mlnnetonka a most formidable rival.
1t is estimated that third more people
visited the lake this year then ever be-
lore. Among the many attractions
which have gained for the lake this in
creased popularity is the beautiful
Lake Shore pavilion. The many enter
tainmentS that were given by Mr.. Ram
aiey this season have drawn throngs to
the lake, and have most pleasantly
broken the monotony which in former
years was the complaint of the gIddy
portion OF White Bears summer popu-
lation. But probably the greatest i'm
provement to the lake has been the
organization and carrying on of the
Dellwood club or White Bear
yachting association. From rather
motley, leaky, diSreputable looking fleet
OF sail boats, has grown one of the finest
fleet of yachts on any of the small in
land lakes, and the indications are that
by next season dozen more fast racers
will be added TO their number. The
Dellw0od club house has been a rally

Paul'S four hundred. aud the weekly
entertainments have been among the
most popular given this season in st.
Paul or the vicinity. Successful as the
past three months have been, there are
few things which are lacking to make
the lake an ideal summer resort. The
crying need of the lake is for a first
class hotel. The natural beauties of the
lake, its proximity to st. Panl, are
sufficient to fill to overlooking the very
poor obstetrics which the lake affords,
but hundreds and hundreds of people
every succeeding season make the re-
mark that they would gladly spend the
summer at White Bear were there only
fifst-class hotel accommodations. 1t is
difficult TO comprehend why some ener-
getic capitalists do not take advantage
of the opening for the erection of fine
hotel. A rumOr is now afoot that fine
hotel will be erected the coming
year, and many are the people who are
hoping for a subStantiatiOn of the
rumor. While new hotel is greatly to
be desired, there is another thing which
is of even greater Importance, and
which, unless speedily attended to, will
greatly mar the beauty of the lake.
