Paulites whO have become possessed OF
sufficient Of this worlds goods, and
have with all the good judgment to de
sire to enjoy to the utmost the gl0rles
Of Minnesota summer, begin to make
their plans for tie coming season.
White Bear lake always has been and
always viii be ST. PauPs IA
yorite summer home. Each new
wear brings TO those who are the
happy owners Of cottages on its
lovely banks the conviction that the
sultry days Of July and August are not
the only pleasant ones at the lake side,
but that May and June also have their
beauties. 10 be sure the nights are
rather cool, but what Of that; the
mornings are 80 perfect that one feels
more than repaid for any chillIness Of
the evenings.
This year nearly all the cottages viii
be occupied by the lst Of May, and some
even earlier. AS a rule, one Will meet
with the same familiar faces as one
strols from cottage TO cOttage-from
Cottage Park to Dellwood-but here
and there one Will discover change
from last season Mrs. A. X. Barnum
has taken Mrs. TarbOX's place on the
Island, SO there will be no break IN the
flow Of mirth and hospitality that has 50
long been unrestrained In the TarbOX
cottage.
Theodore Koch has taken the cottage
Of Senator Mcmillan, and will occupy 1t
early in the season. Oscar Taylor has
built during the winter on the extreme
point Of the Island, and f. A. Jaggard
intends building next to Mr.. Taylor.
nf o.
ton and Walter Morton will exhibit
their usual jealousy this year and will
furnish their owners an amount Of
exultation and corresponding deDres-
sion greater than was exhibited last
season. Oscar Taylor will be on hand
with the Viking TO meet all corners.
The Kitten will soon make her APP
pcarancc in a new suit Of sails and Will
be handled the coming season by her
owners, Messrs. Stickney and Nc
Kechmc. The Kitten is undoubtedly
one OF the best boats on the lake. and
better Things may be expected OF her.
Capt. Luther Newport is still unde-
cided as to his summers whereabouts,
but should he spend his time in 81.

Newp0rt's achievements last year are

Of his statement.
Capt. Stack has come to the cOnclu-
sion that the Della 5 is not a success as a
racer. He is still undecided whether to
build anew or to await developments
and purchase a Yacht with an estab-
lishcd record. Capt. Hastings IS making
eXteusiyeal in the Undlne, and
she will make her appearance this year
as a soOp. During the season tie I'm
dine probably sails more miles than any
other boat on the lake, and Capt. Has
tings' motto has been 'slow but sure"
but now he seems to be out for the
prizes.
The Dellw0od Club house will be run
In the same hospitdble manner as last
year, and under the auspices or the
association.
The racing programme Will be the
SamesTaeiug on alternate Saturdays by
the two clubs-that is the Association
and The Club.
A subject that is receiving great
deal OF attention at this time, eSpe-
cially from yachtsmcn, is the stage of
the water The water is higher than
last wear, but very extensive sand
bar has formed along the entire west
shore necessitating the building Of
docks at least twenty-five feet longer
than those of former times. The cOun-
ell Of the village of White Bear last fall
appropriated sum OF money to be eX-
pended in endeaVOring to remove the
weeds from the bed of the lake. A pOr
ton of the work was accomplished, but
for some unexplained reason 1t was cut
short. Unless steps are taken to check
their growth, they reaching late in the
season to the top Of the water, it will be
almost impossible to sail On tAe lake as
they clog the center boards of the
yachts and almost stop their progress.
The interest in yachting fostered by
the White Bear Yachting association
has been quietly growing during the
winter months, so that the coming sea-
son will eclipse by FAR all previous years
in that respect The rivalry among
yacht owners is so great that,it is diff
cull to obtain particulars Of the new
yachts. However, DIR. MacLaren has
had one built during the winter by
Peterson (after suggestions of his OWN
which he thinks will be 4 great success.
The boat is built on The principle of
the Back Bay boats of Boston,
and is of moderate beam, unlike most of
the White Bear boats. and has con-
siderable uVerhang aft indeed, one may
say great deal. Her chief feature is
thather beam is almost entirely for
ward, in which she differs radically
from all other boats at the lake. She
will be catrigged with less hoist and
more foot to her sail than others of her
class, whose sails run a great deal to
peak.
The boat building for Paul Gotzian is
going to be new departure from the
present STYLES, and seems to adopt some
of the peculiarities of the famous Glor-
lana. She has considerable oyerhang
bO.h fore and aft, and Is double planked,
which insure5 great strength and inIper-
viousneSS to water Her trial is looked
forward to with great interest.
Il. b. {. Bement is having built by
Dingle sloop of which he expects
great things. Capt. j. w. Taylor has
become the proud owner of last seasons
victor, the Storm King. having pur-
chased her from Luther Newport. With
her record of four first and five SecOud
pennantS, besides winning the aSSocia-
ton cup, she will surely not be found
wanting at the close of the season of
1872. Capt. Tayl0r's skill us yachtsman
is sufficient to insure the success of the
Storm King. 1t is rumOred that Capt.
Taylor intends making extensive alter
atiOnS in his cottage to make room for
Capt. Welsh is keeping very mum
about the Fortuna, but the saucy little
queen of White Bear will undoubtedly
be well to the fore when the sport COM
mences. The Fortuna captured the cup
of the White Bear Yacht club last sea-
son, and was close second in the Strug-
gle for the association trophy.
The Nushlla, as of old, will be piloted
TO scattering victories 10y those master
sailors, Messrs. Elmer and Ordway.
She will be sailed this year as cat, and
there will be no more experimenting,
but she Will be sailed for blood.
The ZItika and her master are we'll
mated-good- and easy going,
and VIII not struggle for place. Ar
thur Otis expects TO master the rudi-
mentary principles OF sailing this year,
and will be out in the Dellwood on all
occasions.
