Joining cities.
Those, however, who prefer smoother
road for driving or a fine cycle path will
not take this route which, turning to the
left just beyond Tompkins farm, leads
the tourist down through a prettily
wooded country to Wildwood. But turn
Ing back from the last group of cottages
mentioned above, where ]. w. Taylor, T.
c. Horton, j. H. Schneider and others
have their homes, we will retrace our
steps to Ramaley's pavilion and continue
from there to follow Lake avenue along
the shore At Clarke avenue we get a
glimpse of White Bear station and the
business center of the village some blocks
away, and the little church of st. Johns
in the Wilderness peeping out from
amongst the trees. We pass onward, pref.
ty views of the lake on our right, pretty
cottage homes on our left and glimpses
of village street at regularly succeeding
intervals.
The pretty grounds of the Williams
house are soon reached and close by is
Wahbemahquah, formerly Chateaugay.
Further on, having caught a look at Da-
Vid Hanna's comfortable residence and
pretty grounds as we, passed, as we had
previously noticed the residences of Dan
lei Getty Mrs. Cobb and others, we
so noted as rendezvous for the village
swain and his inamorata that it has been
euphoneously dubbed Canary Park by
interested onlookers. The bridge which
connects the island with the main shore
furnishes very pretty rustic views from
various points on and near the lake.
Manitou island is held as strictly pri-
vate property by number of distinguish
ed st. Paulites. Hon. w. B. Dean, George
Bohn. A. M. and II. T. Drake, Paul Got
zian, Mr.. Sticlzney, the Tarboxes, Dris-
coils and several others, many of them
prominent members of the yacht club
have their residences here. It Is beauti-
full spot and affords charming views of
the lake and its vicinity in all directions
Persons entering there do so by courtesy
of the owners, the entire island, road
ways and all, being. as we have said, pri-
vate property. The residents seem in
clined this season to exclude indiscrimi-
nate cycling on the island, and, of course,
picnic parties and transient visitors are
not expected to appropriate the place to
their own use even temporarily.
Returning over the bridge to Lake ave-
nue., we pass onward along the north
shore Of the lake. Lakeside, and the resi-
denees of William Donaldson, H A Mer-
rill, DR.. Brimhall, E. L. Mabon, A. G.
Wilkinson and many others, all claim at
tention as they come into view. The view
the bridge the Dellwood bay or arm Of
the lake comes into full view, with the
peninsula projecting itno the lake and
Wildwood far down in the distance An
entirely new and very pretty view of the
island is also obtained here.
The cycle path is temporarily narrowed
down to an ordinary footpath, winding
through the trees and requiring cautious
riding, but making a pleasing variety in
the wheelman's trip. The regular cycle
path soon reappears and continues with
but title interruption all the way around
to Wildwood We pass the large ice
houses in which the summers supply of
ice has been carefully gathered during
the winter months. and cross the St Paul
& Duluth branch line, which skirts the
shore of the lake or meanders through
the woods toMahtomedi, and there strikes
off across very pretty farming country
to Saltwater.
Once across this line, we approach
White Bear beach. This point was SEEM
ingly less attractive in it's native state
than other parts of the lake. but ii ia
being steadily improved, and a number Of
persons from the adjoining cities make
their summer home here. Quite a num-
Der of al-year residents also make thsir
abode here. The. Beach has its own
school. and the 500 line and ST. Paul e.
Duluth each have station at this point
