The Saint Paul globe. (St. Paul, Minn.) 1896-1905, 1902-08-10

The only events that bring society
folk together-that is the few that are
left in town-durings the dog days are
the yacht races at White Bear on Sat
urdays and the golf playing at the
Country club. The visit of the Glen
view golfers and their play with the
local team was the item of greatest in
terest during the past week. On the
whole the home men did well, and so
long as Mr.. Harold Bend and Mr..
Michael Doran defend the home greens,
st. Paul lovers of the sport have little
to fear A few dinners have been
given for the visiting men, and have
served to enliven the summer dull
ness. The Roadside Golf club has taken
a new lease of life this year, and its
members are putting up a very good
game. The contest between the Mer-
riam Park club and the Roadside, to be
played shortly, is creating a good deal
of quiet interest among local golfers.
The severe illness of Mrs. William
A Spencer at the residence of her sis
ter, Mrs. A. H. Wilder, has caused
much sorrow among a large circle OF
friends. Mrs. Spencer is the widow of
the late William A. Spencer, and is
one of the best known and best below
ed of the old citizens of this city. 1t is
doubtful if there is a woman in st.
Paul who has more friends and of
every class than Mrs. Spencer, or one
who has finer qualities of mind and
heart. No one in sickness or sorrow
ever appealed to Mrs. Spencer in vain,
and many are the prayers that are now
ascending for her recovery. Her son,
Mr.. Charles L. Spencer, who had gone
to the seashore for August returned
yes erday morning in response to tele-
grams telling him of his mothers con-
i, f1,n Of hTr
and Mrs. Nathaniel P. Langford, of
Exchange street. Mr.. N. P. Langford,
brother of Mrs. Spencer, and another
old citizen much respected and hav-
ing wide circle of friends, yesterday
celebrated quietly his SEVENTEEN birth
day. MIR. Langford is noted for his
interesting "reminiscences of early Min
nesOta days in which he played a
strenuous part, and when his strong
right arm was often used for the de-
Tense of the weak and helpless. Owing
to the illness of his sister, Mr.. Lang
ford's birthday was not made as much
of as would have been the case other
wise, but he received the congratula-
lions of many friends and neighbors.
Judge and Mrs. Jaggard are spend
ing the month of August up on the ST.
CroiX river, where they are roughing
it in a little log cabin at Marine
ing, and as both Judge Jaggard and
his wife are not only lovers of the
sport, but famous fishermen and sue
ceSsful-aS their fortunate friends can
testify-they are enjoying themselves
hugely. They have been entertaining
one or two friends at a time, and last

Mr.. Arthur Cathcart, U. S. N, who
has been spending two months at his
home In this city, has received orders
to join the Dolphin at the Brooklyn
navy yard. Mr.. Cathcart's rise has been
rapid, and since his appointment to an
assistant paymastership in the navy
he has made an excellent record for
himself. His presence in this city,
where he has many friends, is always
the occasion of gayety in the shape of
dinners and other social functions in
his honor. He spent a month at
Lindstrom, where his sister, Mrs. Max
held, has a summer home, and left last
week for Brooklyn.
