LAKE MINNET0NKA
Life at the lake has taken a new start
snce Saturday, when the sun became VIC
torious over the clouds and shone all aft
ernoon and continued to shine. Attic
there were some disappointed people, the
majority rejoiced. Among the disap-
pointed were the yachtsmen at Excelsior,
who could not finish their race on account
of the great calm. The o'clock train ran
over the bridge at Solbergs Point when
the first boat crossed the line, finishing
the first round. It was the Widow, fol-
lowed by the commodores boat, Lorelei.
The cruisers from the Minnetonka club
had hard time to reach home and many
Of the yachts came in with the help Of
some friendly launch. But aside from
this the weather had a most gratifying
effect upon the crowds who had come to
enjoy the lake. The casino at Excelsior
was well patronized, a large crowd par
ticipating in the dance and as many again
sitting down stairs watching the bowling
and waiting their turn. All day long yes
terday there was stream Of people to-
wards the bathing beach at the Excelsior
commons and bathers had to be content
to get a cabin after an hours waiting or
even longer. The steamers were all do
ing fine business and one boat after
another left the dock filled with merry
tourists and this going and coming con-
tinued until late.
Among the boats chartered for a tour
Of the lake was the Frolic. It's party
were Colonel and Mrs. A.. D. Reade, Mr..
and Mrs. E. L. Danforth and Harold
Danforth Of Minneapolis. No better day
could have been chosen and the trip
around the upper and lower lake was
