A Run for Recrea ton.
Yesterday afternoon the delegates
were given an outing through the
courtesy of the st. Paul & White Bear
railway. the management of the Wood
Harvester company, the st. Paul q Du-
Iuth Railroad company and others. The
delegates were taken from the hotel and
club house to the train at the union
depot where the Northwestern train
was detained for half-hOur in order to
permit all of the delegates to get on
board. The train was run to the Wood
harvester works. where the dele
gates were turned loose among the
wheels and molders, and after a trip
through the works they were conducted
to special train of electric cars on the
line of the st. Paul u White Bear rail-
way. in which they were hauled to the
pretty grounds of Wildwood. After
spending short time at the grounds
the party returned to st. Paul via the
electric cars to Mahtomedi and from
there to the city over the st. Paul u
Duluth line, which had furnished a spe-
cial train for that purpose. The dele
gates then repaired to the club house
and hotel in carriages. which were fur
nished for that purpose by the j. b.
Cook company
The party was a very jolly one, and
the smallest occurrences out OF the
usual run were greeted with laughter
and merrlment. Every one appeared to
have good time on the train going out,
and the music which was furnished by
the orchestra or board the train was
highly appreciated and applauded.
On arriving at the harvester works
the delegates were taken in charge by
the representatives of the company.
They were taken through the immense
establishment of which the city is so
proud, and the wOrkmen performed
their duties in manner which gave the
delegates an opportunity of observing
the methods of working metals. They
we're highly interested in the work.
The electric cars made the trip to
Wildwood in rapid manner. and be-
fore the delegates were hardly aware
of the fact the coaches had pulled into
the depot at the Coney Island of the
Northwest, as some of the Eastern men
called it. The roller coaster was at
first brought into use, and nearly all of
the delegates took advantage of the op-
portunity for ride. President %De
Young could hardly be persuaded to
leave the coaster even for the train. and
the ladies' were delighted with it.
Some of the delegates bowed in the
bowling alley, few took trip out OH
the lake in Mr.. Pilling'S pleasure
launch, and some danced to the music
of the orchestra in the pavilion. The
bears were petted and fed with candy,
the other attractions received their
share OF attention, and the delegates
enjoyed themselves to the utmost.
One thing which was remarked about
the arrangements for the day was that
nothing was lacking to make the visit of
the delegates as pleasant as possible.
the members of the committee executed
their duties in a manner calculated to
give the visitors an excellent opinion of
their efficiency,
The management of the various COM
panies who contributed to the success
of the outing are TO be complimented on
the manner in which matters were con-
Quoted. The thanks of the newspaper
men of the city are rendered them.
