I to look after the comfort of all,
and among others in this official
car were the following: William, Ste

ton, a St. Paul delegate, tried to get on
the train after it had reached some
Roadway, and was rolled over and over,
and nearly run over. He was, fortu-
nateiy. but little hurt.
The train stopped az Minneapolis a
minute OF two, and then went on to
Minnetonka Beach. Most of the crowd
went at once on board the large steamer
st. Louis, though some remained and
went to points of interest near by. In
asmuch as the Twins, Polite and
Lathrop. did not go with the crowd on
the boat and had not showed up at their
hotel in town at midnight last night, it
is presumed that Jim tried to catch a
bigger fish than Joe did at Duluth, and
both are now in the depths counting
mermaids and drinking "sea foam"
The day was delightful, bright and
pleasant, and the sail around the lake
was greatly enjoyed. Conductor Kleist
and four of his musicians made sweet
music, and the hours passed swiftly 1t
was hilarious crowd. John T. Black
and Paul Martin had sworn to clip
the long mustachios of F. H.
Wheelock, and finally succeeded IN
taking off about six feet of them with a
pair of scissors. Wheelock is the engi-
erof the Franklin school and his
mustache was the pride Of not only him.

grief will be shared by them when he
presents himself this morning thus pitt

over it. "a
The boat landed at Spring Park at 6,
and Proprietor q. F. Hopkins. Of the
Hotel del Otero, had bountiful lunch

has gained fresh laurels by yesterdays
courtesies for his beautiful hotel and
grounds. Promptly at s the return trip
on the train commenced, and at
$3.50 ST. Paul was reached by the tired
and hungry. though happy, excursion
lists. 1t was pronounced a most success

famed resort will never be forgotten by
the 500 guests who thus enjoyed the
courtesies Of the Great Northern. The
committee of arrangements furnished
the press Representatives with trans
portation and other courtesies. although
the train was for delegates only.
Tomorrow night there will be given
the last of the series of public entertain
ments in the shape of reception and
ball at the armory. Refreshments will
be served, and, doubtless. farewell
speeches made. All the remaining
funds of the noble committee of ar
engagements will be expended to make
this rousing success. 1t is possible
the convention may adjourn so early
tomorrow that this programme cannot
lie carried out, but this is not expected.
