THOUSANDS At WILDWOOD.

Throngs Visited the Casino at White
Bear.
Several thousand pleasure seekers
spent yesterday at Wildwood, and the
pretty lake resort presented a lively
aspect from early in the morning until
the last car carried the weary people
back to town. \
The electricians carried most Of the
visitors to the place, although a goodly
number found their way from various
other points on the lake. The busy lit
tie steamers piled back and forth
whlle~the dock in front Of the casino
was lined with white-winged sail
boats tempted out by the spanking
breeze which blew across the lake.
The principal amusement before
lunch time was an exciting ball game
between amateurs from ST. Paul and
Mahtomedi, in which the latter were
victorious. I'M The, afternoon there was
dancing and the picnic grounds adjoin-
ing the big pavilion were generously
filled, while the bathing beach. roller
coaster, and other forms Of entertain
ment found favor with the crowds.
A number of st. Paul and Mime
apolis wheelmen rode out on the cycle
path and after lunching at the Casino
returned home. On Friday night there
will be a wheeling party of both men
and women, who will reach the lake
In time for swim before dinner, after
Which there will be dancing.

They Had Their Outing at Smelling
Park.

Smelling park was thronged all day
yesterday with a lot of people who
know how to extract the double es-
sence of enjoyment out of a picnic
Furthermore, the picnic was given by
an organization of gentlemen who
have certain we'll defined notions of
what the people most enjoy on an Au-
gust day. In other words, the Retail
Liquor Dealers association gave an
outing. 1t was the first the associa-
ton has provided. and SO completely
did it realize the most sanguine ex-
pectations, that it will hereafter be-
come an annual institution
1t was essentially a cosmopolitan
gathering, comprising many familiar
faces. Lawyers, judges, physicians and
ex-aldermen were there, and any guam
tity Of business men. While the ladies
were not SO numerous, there was a
sufficient number in attendance to keep
the dancing pavilion constantly occu-
pied. The young people keenly enjoyed
this feature of the picnic, for the music
was furnished by that admirable or
ganization, the Fort Smelling Military

HINTS AT INCEND1ARIsM.
Fire in HOrejs Bros Barn Arouses
Some Suspicion.

Frank Horeis, one of the firm of Horeis
Bros. whose barn and contents, including
thlrty-four horses, were burned early yes
terday morning, said yesterday that it was
impossible to say how the fire started Two
or the four barn men employed at the place
were asleep in the building at the time the
ire was discovered. So fiercely and rapidly
did the structure burn that Max Haage and

lives Movack, to save himself, was Obliged
to Jump from a window without any of his
clothes, and Haage was severely burned
about the hands and face in making his es-
cape. John Horejs succeeded in getting one
OF the horses from the barn. but in doing
so had his hands and face burned. Frank
Hore1s, in speaking about the fire, said it
was not possible for the fire to have started
from a lantern which is left burning in the
barn for when the building was all ablaze
the lantern was still burning all right with
out saying so, Mr.. Horejs intimated that in
his opinion the fire was of incendiary origin.
All day yesterday the members of the firm
were driving about the city engaged in Sc
curing horses and harness with which to
start out their delivery wagons this morn
ing. Fortunately for the firm, none of the
delivery wagons were burned, what at the
livery wagons being sleighs used by the
firm in winter. BY visiting the livery stables
and the sale stables at Midway the firm was
aple 10 secure the horses needed. and this
morning business will be resumed the same
as though the fire had not occurred The
insurance amounted to $14,e0D, one-third Of
which was placed in the st. Paul Fire and
Marine, and the balance in other companies.
The firm claims that the insurance will
hardly cover the loss. Among the horses
burned were PAGER valued at $500 and a
couple of fine driving teams valued at $3.50
each. T0O

with the city for removing garbage and dead
animals, had force of twenty men and ten

That Bout with ,IcKeever.

'Lavigne," says sporting man, will not
be gamer in reputation because Of his six
round bout with McKeever. Lavigne took the
liberties that go with championships. He was
fat and unfit for battle. He gave every one
the impression that he had only limited
ence to him whether he made good showing
or not. He was careless in his work and acted
as though he didn't care whether or not
fact, McKeever did get the best of the con-
test, such as it was, and IL decision had
been rendered it would undoubtedly have been
his. It is queer about these fighters. They
themselves until they get to the top of the
ladder Then they cannot stand prosperity.
With the halo Of the championship around
their swelled heads they start on a career of
dissipation which sends them to the rear with
more speed than they displayed in getting
to the front"
Whether the sporting man was correct or
not his remarks were of sort to make a
rising young pugilist stop and think.
