LAKE MINNEToNKA

evening excursion on the large Steame
Excelsior with the Journal Newsboys'
band was an event of delightful charac-
ter The band came out on the o'clock
train accompanied by host of pleasure
seekers from the city. At the lake stations
many more joined the party and after
over 800 had been picked up. thronging
the steamer almost to her full capacity,
the trip into the upper lake was made, the
band playing varied and charming selec-
tions.
The evening was perfect, the night was
cool, the breezes delicious and the flower
and foliage-laden shores of Minnetonka
sent out their sweet fragrance across the
lake to the passengers on the boat. The
boys played their very best under the d.
rection Of Professor Heintzeman. and
never before was a program so thoroly
and completely enjoyed. Selections chang
ing from the serious to the joyous, broke
forth in constant succession, and the large
audience responded to each ami all with
generous enthusiasm. Minnetonka was
toured from the lower to the upper lake,
covering nearly fifty miles, and there was
not a single beauty spot which escaped
the eye of the tourists. Marine passages
which had not been travelled for long,
long time, were recalled and were
traversed by the commodious boat. The
ever-changing beauties Of the lake were
strong lights from the boat, and every
thing appeared like fairyland scene UNI
der a warm, starlit July sky. After stop
had been made at Spring Park the re-
turn trip to the lower lake was made. Al
Tonka Bay the greater number OF the
passengers disembarked to take the train
back to Minneapolis, while the lake people
continued on the trip until their 1nd1-
vidual homes had been reached. gay

whom the passengers owed host OF
thanks for their liberal contribution to-
ward the joyous evening.
The wv. & E. Boat Line are entitled
to a great deal of credit for the capable
manner in which they handle large par
ties and it is needless to say the Excelsior
Is a splendidly equipped and comfortable
steamer to travel on. 1t has more deck
room than any other steamer on the lake
and deserves liberal patronage. 1t Is 1ast,
safe and handsomely appointed In every
detail and the wv. & E. line is worthy
the support of societies and organlza-
lions desiring the best the market affords.
