LAKE MINNETONKA

The boats were considerably inconven-
fenced yesterday by the heavy wind, al
tho the steamers all made their regular
trips and experienced trouble, but t1rr1id
people who were obliged to cross the lake
did not enjoy themselves The Acte had
a rather smaller crowd than usual for her
Wednesday upper lake excursion, altho
there wore eighty-four who went even un-
der unfavorable circumstances. The trip
was somewhat curtailed on account Of the
reluctance of some Of the excursionists to
cross the big lake into Wayzata bay.
Some very jolly and exciting sailing was
INDUCED in and without any serious dis
aster. for the water rats who deliberately
make sail in such weather invite and ex-
pect duckings as we'll as tipovers. The
crew o fthe Circe II. got both in the morn
ing. Messrs. Ed Wagner, Ed Phinney,
Jos Lindsey Sam De Mers and Carlos
Moore had a stormy VOYAGE about the lake.
in the course Of which the boat capsized
three times and her lee rail was under
water all the time. The waves frequently
dashed clear over the boat Strenuous
attempts were made to land at the Ice
Yacht club but the sailors could not make
it and were obliged to keep out in the lake.
Later some of the mischevious small boys
turned the .Circe loose from the dock and
she went over. ....
The Cherokee snapped off her mainmast
off Big island and it will be some time be-
fore the damage can be repaired. 49,.
