In the tug of wa: there were ten men
from Mime apolis pulling against an
equal number from st. Paul Notwith-
standing the strength of the st. Paul
representatives, the Minneapolis crowd
pulled them across the line two out of
three times and thus won the decision
Of the judges.
Another feature Of the programme that
was traly Scotch was the bagpipe con-
test. OF course, a Scotch picnic would
be incomplete without bagppe music,
30 J. E. Sinclair of Minneapolis and J..
Dow, of St. Paul, furnished this music
The judges decided that their muse was
of equal merit and the prize was divided
between them, each receiving $40.

DOES MOI FEAR BOYCOTT
ATTORNEY BRAMHALL SAYS HE
WILL PROCEED WITH ERECTION
OF APARTMENT HOUSE
MR.. sPAULDING WOULD SELL
Owner of Summit Avenue Prop
erty Proposes That Directors
to the Plan Buy
the Site.

AS proposed in the columns of the
G ob e, those who are fearful that S.
s. Spaulding, of Buffalo, N Y, will mar
the beauty of Summit avenue with an
unsightly apartment house, can abate
the proposed nuisance by purchasing the
ground on which the structure viii be
erected.
In an interview in a telegram from
Buffalo, Mr.. Spaulding is 50 quoted, CIV
ing more than color to the story that
the whole affair is rather in the nature
Of a move to compel lovers of the es-
thetic to take off his hands this piece
Of property, especially when the owner
has his residence and the major part of
his money interests in another city.
In the telegram he is credited with sug-
costing that the DIRECTORS to his scheme
buy the property if they are not satiE-
fed. He says he cannot afford to let it
remain idle.
Attorney w. E. Bramhal, Mr.. spauld-
tng's legal representative in ST Paul,
says the apartment house is a go AMI
that in few days he will ask for a
permit. He says it will be flush with
the sidewalk and that it will be eight
stories high. AS to identifying the
town, that is a secondary consideration
with his client, he says. He is on this
earth to make money and an apartment
house is conceded to be one of the ways
of making it. A boycott he does not
fear, as there are now sufficient ap IL
cations to fill nearly every apartment
in the proposed structure Should it be
erected Mr.. Bramhall laughs at the
statement that the whole affair IS SIM
ply a bluff to force a sale of the pop
erty, claiming that his client is very
wealthy man and does not have to re-
sort to such schemes. The plans for
the structure are expected by Mr.. Bram-
hall in few days.
