IEHE past week has been one of
surprises in weather, which

considerably interfered with
many plans. The longer one
lives in Minnesota the less one knows
about what Is going to happen next in
the weather line, and everything has
to be planned subject to change. 1t is
not unreasonable to expect fairly
warm days during the first two weeks
of September, but the wise man or
woman will not bank too heavily on
summer after. the middle of August.
The people at White Bear who have
been intending to remain there until
November have had occasion this past
week to use furnaces if they had them.
and the prospect for those who have
them not of budding round fireplaces
for six weeks yet is not inspiring. II
the weather does not change this week
the resorts will be deserted considera-
bly, earlier than usual. - -
The horse show was a success in
every way, and more so from social
standpoint than ever before The only
drawback was the cold, and that of
course made a great difference, par
ticularly in the gowns of the women.
and also was the cause of an epidemic
of grip. The first night, Wednesday,
was the coolest of all, but in spite of
that society turned out in large mum
bers and was most enthusiastic in APP
plause. The women who wore white
gowns of wool or cloth looked well
and were comfortable, while those in
lace and chiffon were obliged to cover
them with wraps and not light and
fluffy ones either. The taking of first
and second money by Mr.. w. w. Price
and Mr.. George c. Finch Thursday
night was a great satisfaction to their
friends and a triumph for local horses
in competition with some of the best
horsefesh in the country. It is safe
to say that the success of the show
this year will make it an annual event.
Certain it is that society did its share
toward helping to arouse interest and
swelling the attendance.
