Present.
But the Summer Preparations
Go Meppily on Despite the
Cold.
The Williams House Is Aetu-
ally to Have a New Dress
of Paint.
Gossip Of the People Coming
Out and What They Have
Planned.

A dull, leaden sky, q cold, drilling
rain, and a chill wind from the north
eaSt-such are the conditions under
which the hardy pioneers at White Bear
have been enjoying the pleasures of life
at the lake fer the past few days. Yet
Notwithstanding the very discouraging
state of the weather the enthusiastic
first of Mayites, as they may be called,
have been busily engaged the past week
at all points on the lake i'll setting up
their Lares and Penates.
Around at Dellwood MeSsrs Arthur
OTIS, Augustus COwley and A. B. Ovltt
and their families have been established
so long that they almost deserve the APP
pellatiOn of 'Old settlers" Mrs. Hewitt
expects to take possession of her resi-
dence on the I'd, and Mr.. BOardman
will open his cottage sometime during
the week. The smoke from the lodges
of the M Shka braves will not be seen
until later in the season.
On the island mot a leaf stirs, not
even mouse" though Walter Morton
is making heroic efforts to start the
wheels of his household machinery. and
his coachman has been seen struggling
fir antically with the mast of the Kath-
rine.
Mrs. Tarbox will occupy her accus-
toned place on the island in about a
week.
In the neighborhood of the hotels more
life is visible; lawns are being cleaned,
streets leveled, sidewalks repaired, and
the sound of the hammer and saw is
heard in the land. The Chateaugay
will be managed as uSu al by its owner,
Benson, and will be ready to receive
| guests OIL the 18th.
And now prepare to shed your tears,
| o we old-time visitors, for l say unto
| you the Williams house has been paint
ed. Yea, verify, painted, and bright
yellow at that. They do say that it was
done In envy of Robert Mannhelmer'S
new crimson roof at Cottage Park. But
Notwithstanding the yellow paint, Mrs.
Williams must be commended for other
Improvements made during the winter.
The entire building has been raised
about two feet. and the dining room has
been greatly improved by putting in
new windows. The Williams is now
open and has as guests Mr.. CookY and
Mr.. and Mrs. Hospes, of Saltwater. Mr..
and Mrs. Ellison, Mr.. and Mrs. Tren-
holm, Mr.. and Mrs. Cal Stone, Mr.. and
Mrs. Frank Clifton and Miss Mary Cliff

William cottages this year, and will be
at the lake about the 18th.
Tom Sharp is in possession of the
johnson cottage, and B. II. Evans. of
Schuneman & Evans, is in the Hopkins
place Oh Lake avenue. On Wednesday
r. l.. German will establish himself and
family in the cottage on Clark avenue
made famous last year by the illuStriouS
son of Australia.
That part of the lake so brightly
illumined last season by the Tam
O'Shanters" will this year be under the
management of Mrs. F. w. Morse as
private hotel. and this week will see
many of the same gay and festive spirits
gathered round its fireside. The cot
tage on Banning avenue will be
used as kitchen and dining room
and for the servants quarters,
Front will be for the guests. This has
been very handsomely decorated and
furnished throughout, and will I'M
dOubtedly be the most popular place at
that part of the lake. 1t will be known
by its old name. 1.-The Oaks" ands will
shelter such well-known people as 5. 0.
Brooks, DR.. Ancker, NJ. +. Kahn, N. r.

Near Ramaley's, A. l.. Alness, of the
Scandinavian American band, and P.

Around on the Cottage Park side
| Messrs. j. w. Taylor, Horton and Wood
are already settled, and r. B. Galusha
! expects to move into his place in few
DAYS. He will have as neighbor on
the south side Mr.. Mailer, of Field,
| Mailer & Co.. who has taken DR..
| Smiths cottage.
Hon. NJ. Doran has been at work for
several weeks remodeling his house, and
has accomplished it so effectually that
about the only parts of the old house
that can be discovered are the front
doors. Mr.. Doran has built very COM
plete house, steaE-heated and electric
| lighted throughout, by far the largest
home, residing there the entire year, ex-
cepting during a few of the winter
months.
At Leip's the colonel will be ever.
ready, as of old, to furnish food and
shelter for both man aud beast. His
hospitality is of too many years stand
ing to need comment.
Messrs. Hans Jung and c. B. Marvin
| have each taken one of Leip'S cottages
| for the summer.
At RamaIey's pavilion the opening
concert will be given on June 3, after
which time during the season, Tuesday
ana FRIDAY evenings, the sweet strains
| of KleiSt's orchestra will float out upon
the gently ruff1ed bosom of White Bear,
| while the merry maiden and the tar
with winged feet chase the flying hours.
And while the aforesaid merry maid
en- and tar are lndulging in the worldly
| pleasure of the dance, far across the
lake, on the sun-kissed heights of Nah
| tOmedI, high above the rolling waves,
| Neiman, last years host, will welcome
the coming and speed the parting guest.
OF the boats there is but little new.
| Jim Elmer is carrying in his brain the
model of new craft that he is sure will
be a winner. and which he will try and
have built this season. Mr.. Mailer has
bought the Queen Emma, and John
| Miller'S manly form will be seen at the
| tiller. The Kitten has been promised
new suit, and the WOpsle will be pro-
vided with one at the same time. After
! due and prayerful consideration Stack
has given orders to have cockpit cut
| in the Della S, and is now greatly dis
tressed because he ordered it twenty
two inches instead of twenty-four
each side of the center-board. G. d.
| O'Brien has decided not to crowd on
sail this year, so the Victorine will ap-
| pear as heretofore. Peterson & Amnnd-
| son are at work on twenty-eight foot
boat for Lake Minnetonka. She will be
twenty feet on the water line with an
| eight-foot Over-hang.
| The Association club house at Dell
wood is receiving greatly needed coat
| of paint. Just now it might be we'll to
| suggest to the Association officers that
the dock at the club house should be
built earlier than it was last year. Last
year it was not completed until late in
May-several weeks too late.
The Undine has not yet appeared in
| her new rig, but will be sailed as cat
for two or three weeks to come.
DR.. WEIGH is already on the ground
and is at work on the Fortuna.
| Howard Galusha expects to launch
the Merry Monarch on the 5th, and Ar
thur Otis will start the Dellwood OH the
same day.
