PLEASURE AT THE LAKE.
A Perfect Day. Unmarried by Ac-
ciden: or Trouble.

A Perfect Day, Unmarried by Acc
cident or Trouble.
At the lake IL seemed as though the
fates were unanimous in their idea as to
what kind of day the labor unions
should have on which TO make merry,
and everything that they could possibly
desire in the way of auspiciouS skies
and invig0rating weather was theirs:
not too hot either, but warm enough for
the bathing facilities that Wildwood al
fordS To be takeH every advantage OF.
IT was rather dusty and warm i'll the
city yesterday morning, as m;tny OF the
young girls particularly realized, who
witnessed the parade; and the longing
chances that were east towards
the lake and lighthouses as
the trains one by one
came out, We're soon followed by grand
parade to the lock, and the dear Great
ures very soon oyercame any false Ideas
as to The propriety of going in bathing,
and the exit from the bath houses was
truly inspiring. All of those new bath
ing suits with the broad stripes were
taken into nsa. and, in fact, every avail
able garment in which girls can be seen
in the water was made use OF.
The day was too bright and cioudess,
and the fish wouldn't bite. but Mrs.
Leopold. of Mahtomedi, is an indefat-.
igable fiSherWoman, and even when
there is not the ghost of a chance
of getting Il bite off the dock opposite
the pavilion, she sits there for hours.
and as yesterday was labor day and
everybody was Wildwood-bound, OF
course Mrs. Leopold walked over; and
how better could she spend her time
than in fishing. She is too mature to
appreciate the more giddy attractions,
Such as the nerry-go-round or the roller
coaster, and fishing is such respect
able, good. quiet kind of entertainment.
The musical program which was rem
dered al the pavilion during the after
noon was thoroughly appreciated, as
things musical that are good always are.
j. Donald Balfe, the well known
baritone singer, gave The Sentinel
and 1" III his very best style, while Os-
car Lienau sang that tenor solo, LET
Me Dream Again. in the pleasing way
in which he always does what he pro-
misses.
Mrs. j. e. and Mrs. ?. J. Clancy sang
duet, which was very we'll received.
Little May GTifiths gave After the
Ball" which She sang by special re-
quest, and quite captiyated the audi
ence. Between the first two musical
selections a descriptive Hunting
Scene" was given. which was very novel
and attractive. Kieist'S orchestra was
i'll attendance and played the march
which opened the concert, as well as all
overture after the 0ratory was disposed
of. The mandolin quartette also favored
the crowds with some very bright Selee-
tionS, and the musical part of the days
entertainment closed with the singing
Of America" by crowds Of enthusiastic
people.
l he rink was cleared Of skaters after
supper, and dancing was indulged in
until very late hour.
The committees having charge of the
picnic part of the celebration all deserve
great credit for the smooth way i'll
which their plans were carried out.
There was not a hitch of any kind and
everybody was well satisfied. The
names of the committees are here given:
On Arrangements James White,
chairman; John ID. Fry, secretary;
james McDaniels, treasurer; Joseph A.
Black, tx-otficio; Thomas II. Hanscomb,
Paul Kieist, Frank Hoffman, C. Ii.
{. IL. Headford.
On Dancing - John kreiger, cigar
makers union, floor manager; assist
ants. William Flood. firemen's union :;
n, {. 1sinke, press feeders; Ross Rey-
noldS, printers union: Matt Bantz,
tailors' union; Paul Chapel, plumbers
union; \. J. Riese, bricklayers' union
On RefreShmentS-E. NJ. Stevenson,
carpenters union; cashier at upper
refreshment stand, Harry Gray, ma
chiniSts' association: cashier at lower
refreshmemt stand, y. KokeSh, cigar
makers union.
III is estimated that about 5000 people
travelled out over the White Bear cleo
trio line during the day to participate
i'll the celebration. Every car was
loaded to its utmost capacity, and many
extra trains were taken into service. 1t
was without doubt the monster day of
the season for Wildwood. and yet with
all the demand fer accommodation the
road was equal to the demands made
upon it. Everybody went out and back
i'll reasonable comfort for such an occa-
sion, and always on time.
On the whole, the labor unions may
congratulate themselves that they Sc
lected a place at which to hold their
picnic where they could move around,
and where there is an abundance of en-
tcrtainment furnished, SO that getting
up d tiresUne and almost always unSat-
iSfaetory programme OF sports was not
necessary and everybody. guests and
members of unions, enjoyed themselves
Ill right royal way.
