the Great Lakes, as happy a quartette
of travellers as has come into ST. Paul
for many a long day. They report the
jolliest sort of trip upon which they
were absent from home for over a
month, and they went to so many
interesting places and saw so many in
teresting things, that it was difficult
to pin any member of the party to a
coherent tale of the chief incidents of
the jaunt, which has just come to an
end.
The fortunate people whose friends
voted them the most popular quartette
of business people in st. Paul, were
as will be easily remembered, Misses
Harriet Flynn and Maud Gould, and
Messrs. L. K. Newman and George
DAM Jr. They have enjoyed the al
most indescribable lake trip from Du-
luth to Buffalo, by means of one of
the Northern steamship floating
palaces, they have seen Buffalo in the
midst of the G. A. r. reunion gaiety,
and have ridden from there to Gotham
on the greatest railroad in America.
They have spent some days in the
| metropolis, have visited the numerous
points of interest in the vicinity, have
witnessed some of the newest theatre
cal performances, and have made the
run on to Boston and Newport by way
of the palatial Fall River liners In
fact, they have just completed a tour
which for variety and general interest
is a trip hard to beat and one which
it is given to very few people to make,
and now they are home again all the
better for their experience. Each
member is enthusiastic at the hand
some manner in which the slightest
matters were thought up and provided
for their entire entertainment, and
their letter from New York told in de-
tail some of the sights and places
which they found most worthy of re-
counting.
They had good weather during the
entire time until Monday last, when it
rained, although that was when they
had boarded the magnificent steamer
North West for. a second time, so that
it matters little. The party was IN
commonly congenial, four people, two
men and two girls, who did not know
each other a week before the trip
was begun, have among other things
made the acquaintance of the others
of the quartette, and will have none
but the pleasantest associations to
look back upon. The G e trip be-
gan with the run down Lake Superior,
and from the very first minute the
travellers found interest in the pic
turesque scenery along the south shore
of the big body of water. After the
magnificent sail down st. Mary'S and
through Lake Huron the four reached
Buffalo Aug. 20, and were quartered
at the Iroquois, where arrangements
for their reception had been made in
advance.
A jaunt through the city was made
and the next morning the start made
for the beautiful Niagara, where the
quartette found much to see and en-
joy. A trip was taken on the natty
little steamer Maid of the Mist, along
the immense gorge on the American
side of the falls, after which the party
returned to the hotel for supper
Then the next day the trip was con-
tinued as far as New York, where
quarters had been engaged for the
travellers at the hotel Majestic, and all
hands have come home enthusiastic at
the right royal treatment accorded
them by the MessrS ROthschildS, pro-
rooms in this well known hostelry were
placed at their disposal and they were
allowed to want for nothing.
While they were in Gotham they
put in the time to excellent advantage
visiting the picturesque Hudson, the
Riverside drive, Grants tomb, and
later spent a day or two at one or the
other of the popular seaside resorts,
races, ball games, ETC., all of which
the ladies seemed to enjoy quite as
much as their gallant escorts. Glen
island, the big Statue of Liberty, in
New York bay, Blackwell's island,
Hell Gate, Fort Schuyler and nume1-
Gus points so familiar to those who
belong in or near New York were Wis
tied as thoroughly as the time would
permit, and the journey would not
have been nearly so complete save for
several visits to that peculiarly met
rOpOlitan inStitution-the roof garden
The st. Paulites were inflated in the
quaint mysteries of Coney Island, saw
the mammoth hotels where so many
thousands battle, and bask in the sand
and listen to the Sousa concerts, and,
returning to the city, made their way
to several of the representative the
aters.
Then the girls shopped. Think of the glory
of it all-shopped in New York. The men
made plans for the run by toat down to Boston
and the anticipated pleasure of the long beau
tiful sail through Long Island sound to the
hub and to Newport was turned into actual
realization Their headquarters at Boston was
at the United States hotel, where thcy were
again promptly welcomed and Hospitality re-
possible including the famous common
and trod the historic battlefelds of
Bunker Hill and Concord, went over the road
which Paul Revere made famous, visited Ply

other points Of uncommon interest. A some

back to New York.
Central Park helped to make their return
visit pleasurable the Eden musee added it's
curious wonders to the big store of instruc-
tive things they. had seen, and when the party
finally left the big city Saturday via the New
York Central it not without some re-
grets When the lake city was found again
the party made its way to the big steamer
North West, and Capt. Marvin and Purser
Langrill set about seeing that their interest
ing auartette was well cared for. The home
trip on the lakes they say. was particularly
beautiful On Sunday the North Land, bound
down for Buffalo, was met, and the cere-
monies INDUCED in during the passing of the
two giant white steamers proved inter
esting Guns were fired, colors were struck
and the little formality was cheered by the
passengers on both boats they passed each
other under full Roadway in midlake. The
boat touched at Duluth Monday evening at
$50. when the four Apostles put in the time
between that and train time looking over the
place.
Although they were not in the place long
enough to be guests at the Spalding, Frank
Taylor, the landlord. went out of his way to
be clever with the G l proteges, and they
speak in the most enthusiastic way of his
treatment of them
They came down on the late train, reaching
here bright and early yesterday morning
after their long trip.
The girls had not been East before and saw
many new sights, being taken about by their
companions
They were given taste of trotting about the
country and join with the two men in eX-
