special Letter to the Globe.
DETROIT. Mich, Sept 10. The Min
nesota editorial party arrived here at
O'Clock today, after a very interesting
passage through the 500, Huron, and
the picturesque st. Clair river. The
scribes have now thoroughly organized
themselves for the social amenities of a
floating festival.
The continuous term of pleasure was
appropriately punctuated on Sunday
morning by religious service under
Redwood Falls. Sunday evening was
devoted to literary and musical eXer-
ciSeS in the grand saloon. This session
folk, among whom talent and genius
finds frequent and abiding iodgment.
The features of the entertainmt ut
issued from the following members OF
the excursion party:

ST Paul PrpSS Climb and Its
Book, For Revenue Only"-
Harry W. Wack
Orchestra.
Capt. Campau, Passenger Agent T. p.
Carpenter and Clerk Curtis. of the
North West, were present. When Mr..
Wack presented the boat library with
a copy of For Revenue Only" MIR.
Carpenter responded in a felicitous
speech of acceptance. The boat is now
supplied with the only thing it ever
needed-an antldote for NAL de mer. That
eminds me that there has not been a
case OF sea sickness OH board. This
graceful craft has no motion whatever,
and the highest sea of the season has
not caused it to roll or pitch. 1t rides
the sea like summer cloud.
At the 500 some Of our party hardly
ventured to run the St. Mary's rapids
in an Indian canoe. 70 run these tur-
buleut rapids is a thrilling and withal
worthy experience. John Boucher, q
fuli-blOOd Indian, is the pioneer in this
traffic. His skill with the pole and
canoe is graceful evidence of his forty
years active service upon Northern
waters.
Nothing on the trip has been so
| heartily enjoyed by the male contingent
| OF our party as the reception given last
night by Capt. Campau and Passenger
| A gent Carpenter to the executive com.
mi;tee of the association and few
other choice prevaricatOrs and ra-
contenrs. Among this party were DR..

fellows. The conviyialities were as

which they were merrily participated
in.
