close the members come to depend on the
club more than in midsummer. Yester-
day the house was filled, chiefly with
the week end visitors who have been
Coming regularly all summer. The rather
prolonged contest for the Eliel cup was
finished on Saturday, c. S. Langdon VIM
ming from r. D. Woodwork, 3 up and
to play. The score was 74-7S.
I There were several dinner parties pre-
ceding the dance, which was the last
Of the season as the late train has been
taken off. The principal dinner was given
by Miss Margaret Welles and her sew
enteen guests were mostly the college
young people. The large table was lighted
by red shaded candles and decorated In
autumn flowers. Miss Welles, Miss Alice
Smith and Miss Jeanette Gilhllan will
leave this week for Smith college.
To-day the house was given over the
the members of the Gamma Phi Beta
sorority Of the university, who, with
their pledglings, were the guests OF Mrs.
E. w. Backus for the day. A german was
danced and the thirty guests We're seated
for luncheon at a large oval table adorned
with artistic arrangements Of autumn
flowers and foliage. .1,
In the next few weeks number Of
house parties will be given at the club.
The date set for the closing Is Oct. II.
Most of the @cottagers were at the lake
have moved back to town, but the number
of transients- was -disappointingly small.
This was due in part no doubt to uncer-
tainty about what hotel accommodate lions
could be found and what boats, were run
ming. The Puritan and Mayfower both
made regular runs yesterday. and there
were number Of other steamers out all
day. The Puritan will make no more
regular runs and the Mayfiower may be
discontinued at any time, but both will
be out for special parties and a number
Of boats will run on charters until very
late in the fall. At Excelsior and usually
at Wayzata there will usually be no
trouble to get boat, especially to meet
the morning trains.
Mr. Hopkins Of Hotel del Otero an
nounced some time ago that he would
close his house Sept. Is, but so many
Of his patrons who have been at the
hotel all summer were unwilling to go that
he has extended the time until Thursday,
after luncheon. Some of the lingerers de-
clare they will not leave then unless they
are set out Of the house. OF the season
guests remaining there is the party of
fourteen from Little Rock, Ark, Mr. and
| Mrs. Charles Schuneman, Mr.. and Mrs.
Goforth, Mr.. and Mrs. Hayes, besides
quite a number who came especially for
the September outing. Every day also
brings its quota of transient guests.
| Those who have spent the summer to-
gether are like one big family and they
are filing their last days with all kinds
Of pleasant excursions. The men are plan
ming to Ill remain out one day before the
breakup to have an excursion and fish
fry as a farewell celebration. Driving
parties are daily pleasures and the keen
air gives zest both to walking, rowing
and fishing.
Mr.. and Mrs: Hopkins will leave for
New York few days after closing the
hotel and will arrive at Coronado beach
late in November. The only plan ma
tured for next season by Mr.. Hopkins Is
the rebuilding Of the pavilion on the casino
plan, providing amply for a variety OF
amusements, including bowling. A fine
fleet of new boats will be provided for this
building and the old feet will be moved
over to the west arm, as there Is con-
slant demand for boats on that part OF
the lake, especially for the fishermen.
