the RiVer-List. of Those in
the Party.

The Windsor hotel Is filled with a
merry crowd of brainy. men and hand
some women-by the way, how is it
that the editors always get handsome
wives and sweethearts? The jolly
gathering in this particular instance is
the South Dakota Press association,
which. with astute wisdom, decided
to make st. Paul the climax of the
most enjoyable junket the association
has ever undertaken. The visitors
are all intent on seeing all that is to
be seen, hearing all that is to be heard
ana extracting all the pleasure posi-
Die during their. brief stay. In the
party are many whose faces are famil-
lar and whose hearty laugh has oft
been heard here before, and to these it
is an especial pleasure to renew old
acquaintance and to shake the hands
OF old-time friends One Of the dele
cation but voiced the sentiment of the
crowd by saying:
Our trip has been an enthusiastic
success; the weather has been lovely,
and the good people of the Twin Cities
have done everything to make our
visit a most delightful one. You ST.
Paul newspaper fellows are running
great chances of having lots of COM
petition in the near future. for some
of the boys are,3 already talking of
moving their shops h-re where they

entered into thes spirit of the occasion,
and when the visitors arrived there
yesteray morning they found that
popular establishment had put on
holiday dress Of flags and bunting,
while every detail that forethought
could suggest had been provided for
the accommodation of the crowd. AS
the visitors alighted from the inter-
urban cars they were met by the re-
ception committee and escorted to the
hotel: greetings ard introductions fol-
lowed. and at II O'Clock the party re-
paired to the exhibition hall of the
Northwestern Manufacturers union.
An hour was passed in looking at
the many exhibits, in which they were
all interested. and they voiced their
approval and admiration of the pro-
gressiveness of ST. Paul's manufact-
urerS. An orchestra was in attend
ance and furnished sweet strains of
music, to which the chatter of many
feminine tongues, as we'll as the heav-.
ier editorial opinions of the men in the
party furnished lively accompani-
ment Others present at the exposition
were the mayor, members of the. city
council and other city officers. and Of
ficers and members of the Commercial
club. a.Gir speech7 making was forbid
den, the occasion being entirely in
formal.
The party then returned to the no.
tel for dinner. after which came the
ride in carriages through the residence
portion of the city. There were ear
riages in attendance enough for all
an to spare: the line was formed,
headed by a tally-ho coach, and in
stately procession they passed up
to Como park, halting at the pavilion
for refreshments. "A photograph of
the party was taken opposite the pa
Vilion.
On the return drive several of the
party made little alteration in the
programme. stopping at Lexington
park to witness the base ball game
and perhaps their presence inspired
the Saiptly s1uggers to- smite the ball
often and hard and thus win out, who
knows? The main contingent contin-
ued on down town and visited that
interesting 1dmmS
brewery. They were escorted through
the lace and initiated into the mys-
teries of the manufacture of Hamm's
best, a lunch being served thin in
