CITY SPENDS DAY At
SUBURBAN RESORTS
Crowds Flock to Como, Indian
Mounds. Sneiling and
Public Baths

A bright, cool Sunday permitted ST.
Paul people to enjoy yesterday the
many suburban resorts that lend zest
to life in this capital
The largest crowd, as usual, took
trolley and wmrred away to- Como
park, to its big and little lake, it's grot-
tos, its fountains that bubble and spray,
lts AFRICAN lilies with leaves to walk
upon, its banana trees and palm trees,
IT'S mild and furious creatures of the
Wlld-lkeWise it's concerts and it's
ponies, its boats and automobiles and
root beer.
Every minute and a half there ran
trolley car to Como yesterday between
1870 and 4 o'clock p. m. and from S
o'clock to $50. These cars, with 9TH
ers at longer intervals, carried $4,000
people.
To Fort Smelling the cars Travelled
all day long five minutes apart. They
conveyed to the military reservation
many couples who assisted each other
in adniring the view from the lofty
bridge; in discovering the date 1920"
on the old round tower; and in dis
tlnguishing the infantrymen from the
rough-riding troopers by the labels on
their trousers. So numerous were the
sights, as the results of recent changes
and improvements, that the lack of
adequate transportation was manifest
inside the limits of the post.
Crowds at Indian Mounds
Cars. to the Indian Mounds park were
also crowded yesterday. Many of the
visitors understood that their Pilgrim
age did not end on the graves of Dakota
ehlefs. Such earnest travellers sought
the new winding road to the state fish
hatchery, where the commonwealth

as on the Sunday previous, when the
weather was much warmer. The water
