Will be a very restful trip" said Capt
c. c. Whitney yesterday afternoon The
second morning out the party Will find
themselves aboard one of the excursion
steamers on Muskoka lake; the trip fol-
lowing down the St. Lawrence will be
equally restful. Every detail will be
arranged by the committee, and those
who take the trip will merely step aboard
the train and leave their business behind,
as everything that could add to the com
fort or pleasure of the trip will be pro-
vided for in advance. At several Of the
principal Canadian cities the Minnesota
party will be banqueted, and from the
arrangements we have made so far the
trip promises to be the most successful
we have ever planned.
