The unfinished condition Of the state house
necessarily suggests that the legislature should
make suitable provision for the prosecu-
looking toward its completion at the earliest
day consistent with the public and gen.
eral interest of the state. Whether the
sion for the immediate completion of the capitol.
or whether provision should be made to complete
and furnish only those portions OF the building
that seem 70 be most needed at the present time
is a question which the legislature should care
fully consider, and such egislation should be
had in the premises as may be necessary. Your
attention is also called TO the condition OF tho
state house grounds. Under the laws OF the
state the executive council have the charge. care,
management Of the state house and the state
house grounds, and all other property OF th0
state where no other prov sion is made by law
In view of the powers thus conferred upon tho
executive council, and OF the completion OF the
capitol bailding at no great distant day, adequate
appropriatio 8 ought to be made to enable the
executive council to put the state house sIounds

APUkWA IN FRONT.
The Aiinnatonka Yacht Race a
Apienuid Success.

splendid Success.
Yesterday morning. in beautiful
weather, forty yachts of the Minneton-
An excellent breeze swept across the
water. and the spirits of the entire
party rose high in expectation of the
pleasures which the occasion promised
to afford. There were on board from
$50 To 20J ladies ana gentlemen.
+. Is. Bailey was CHOSEN as judge, his
boat being the Acte. Commodore T. Il.
Janney accompanied the crews on
board the FrOiic, and pressed into serv-
ice photographer, with the intention
OF securing picture of each pretty
vessel i'll the fleet. The course. as
usual, was laid from the club house to
the upper lake, through The NaarOWS,
the programme Including lunch at The
Chapman house.
The yachts were started in two squad
rOnS, ana as they left the anchorage
presented picturesque and beautiful
sight. The n0rthcrly wind gave free
sailing Oh the way up, SO that the yachts
reached the MOundCiiy,t their upper lake
destination, in an unexpectedly short
space of time. The first boat to
tie up in front of the Chapman
ia
the Bird was the second. and the Omega
third. Then came the kestrel, HermeS.
Idier. The Kid and White Wings. in the
order named. TIE first of the big
SioUpS in was the Alpha, although she
was not the mrs. TO start. The Kite and
V0iante came in together, hotly coh-
testing the finish. The Kite kept her
I lead, however, and crossed first. The
G l. g, now no longer til keel. but
center board, came next. with the Aurora
after. Then followed HurdS Mischief,
Rodney Chadbournu's Sakio. w. 5. Ben
toms Ventura. Shark. with Newport at
the tiilerand W aterwitch. and the Atlanta
leading flock of cat boats, the Curiew,
Columbia and Mabel Ida, was next.
OrIoh-, Mystic and Cupid about finished
the list. Princess with more ladieS
aboard than any other boat III the
fleet, the IHo Siren and the Burgess
Verda come in the order named and Pa
CaheSe'S cat boat Single Tax lowered
about the finish.
Luncheon was next in order and from
the receSSeS Of the yachts dainty and
substantial baskets and bundles of all
sorts and sizes wete produced and
lunches were spread upon the grass.
After merry hour over luncheon sails
were raised again and the yachts were
Off for home.
The yachtsmen had their racing blood
up OH the trip up, and the contest be-
tween them was hot one. Who was
the winner was, however, matter of
doubt pending the calculation and the
decision Of the judges. Some thought
the Alpha had won, some said the
Kite, and some the Noante,
but few suspected that it was
the Apukwa. Tetft, however, sailed
good race, and brought his boat across
first On corrected time. A feature of
the race was the defeat of the hitherto
invincIble Bird by the Phyllis. 1t was
like od times to see the Bird sailing,
but not like old times TO see her beaten.
Another feature was the success of II.
j. Burton's Volante. The success of
the Burgess in beating both the HERES
chOffS was also surprising.
