Personal Points.
The week at the lake has been dull
undisguisedly dull-for with the excep-
ton of one or two days in the early part
OF the week it has done nothing but
drip, drip, drip, and splash, splash,
splash. Those who are still at the lake
have all made up their minds to remain
until Oct. l, but are having their resolu-
lions sorely tried by this continued
weeping of the heavens.
Even that energetic young organ
ization, Mahtomedi's Our Club" has
been compelled to forego its weekly dis
sipation. and, as consequence. Mahto-
medi is, or was last week, absolutely
dead, though Gus Zenzius created some
little excitement Sunday evening by
capsiZlng the Manitou in front of the
Mahtomedi dock in the presence of a
large party of his friends, whom he had
invited on moonlight sail. and who
had all gathered there in happy ex-
pectancy. 1t is needless to say that
they did not take the sail. and Gus has
bly,.
AT Dellwood all is quiet, so quiet in
deed. that the GLOBE is unable to make
any mention of either Capt. James
darlington Elmer, or that indefatigable
fisherman, Arthur Otis. There is a
small movement ON foot to incorporate
the White Bear Yachting association.
but that will need the long and dreary
months of winter for further develop
ment.
Took to Croquet.
At Cottage Park it must have been a
little duiler than usual last week, for
some of the Park people took to croquet,
which of Late years has always marked
the extreme of stagnatlon in outdoor
amusements. Otherwise every one is
pursuing the even tenor of his way,
though if that way lead him down by
Leip's hotel it is likely to be more
muddy than overland flied will pitfalls
for the belated traveller.
The Island people continue in their
daily walks seemingly unconscious of the
outer world, and enjoying themselves
after their own sweet wills. Walter
Morton is little excited oyer the OPEN
Ing of the new roller skating rink at
Wildwood, but IN other respects he is
doing quite we'll.
Monday the labor unions picnic at
Lake Shore stirred things up slightly,
and Thursday evening nearly the entire
male contingent of the Lake residents
came to st. Paul to wait for returns
from the fight at New Orleans.
The hops at Ramaley pavilion strug-
gled bravely through the week, and will
continue during the rest OF the month.

Marine Matters.
Some days ago the White Bear Yachting
association formally proposed to the Mime
tonka Yacht club that the two organizations
each contribute $3.50 for the purchase of
cup to be sailed for by all yachts regularly
enrolled III any yacht club of the state of
Minnesota, the first race to be held st Lake
MinnetonKa, and thereafter at the home of
the yacht holding the cup. The MinnetOnka
club declined the proposition, but commune
had decided to offer an 500 cup, to be sailed
for before the close of the present yachting
season. Luther Newport has already decided
to take his yacht Shark to Lake MinnetOnka
to compete. and it is quite probable that 9TH
ers of the White Bear boats will also enter
the lists.
Carl Taylor gave another of his ever enjoy
able sailing parties last Wednesday evening.
The night was faultless, the peaceful moon
flooding the country with her kindly light
while the east wind breathed gently over the
glistening bosom of the lake. urging the
white-winged St;r.n King over the silver
tipped ripples with the speed of the tabled
phantom ship that no one has ever been able
TO approach.
Like an aged and n-out steed that has
oatlived his usefulness. Marguerite has been
left at her dock by her masters the playthtng
of the waves and winds. Despite the faith
full service of long and pleasant weeks, there
she lies. alone and neglected, filed with
water, her rigging and sails left to be buffeted
about by every wind that blows.

party last Sunday evening in the Undine.
MI. Hastings acted as skipper, and with his
usual skill piloted the party to Del.wood,
Wildwood and other points of interest Dur
ing the evenings sail home the party were
