! Not half the story has been told of
the trip to Minneapolis by the Boston
club on Thursday evening. 1t was ar
| ranged on short notice and Fire King
! Eustis was not notified of the coming
OF his subjects until late on Wednesday
| evening. Next morning the Elks heard
| OF the proposed trip, and they at once
| took hold of the arrangements for the
entertainment of the visitors. AS in
every enterprise with which the horned
people become connected, they left moth
ing undone. The st. Paul club was met
before the center of the town was
reached by nearly 200 of the Elks, head
| ed by large platoon of police and a
brass band, composed of some of Danz's
best musicians. The Minneapolis peo-
pie lined up along the sides of the street
to permit the visitors to take the lead.
and then the march was taken up for
the West, where half dozen very
felicitous speeches were made by repre-
sentativeS of the two cities. Mayor
Pratt, Fire King EustiS and Weed Mum
TO, the boss moose of IA, B. p. o. E,
welcomed the st. Paul delegation most
heartily. Responses were made by
Judge Cory, Capt. Max Brickner, of the
BoStons, and Assistant Secretary Ry-
der. Then the line was formed again,
and the hosts and guests proceeded to
Elks' hall, handsomest in the land,
where joy and good fellowship reigned
supreme until the last moment that a
car could be held in Minneapolis. A
significant feature Of the evening was
the spirit of unity and common interest
produced by the speeches on the sub
Ject OF the ultimate union of the Twins
Every allusion to this possibility was
Vociferously cheered, and the speakers
wed with one another in hoping that
the day of union is not far distant Mr.
Ryder tried to paint in glowing colors
the possibility of such a union, and in
the midst of his talk Albert H Hall
chimed in with That's no dream
young man." For a few seconds the
st. Paul man could not proceed. and
thereafter the evening was an eXempli-
fication of true brotherly unity. The
visit will be repeated on a larger scale
as soon as all of the ST Paul clubs are
uniformed, and when the Elks come
over to the carnival as escort to Fire
King Eustis they will be properly cared
for.
