A jolly party of men who are ac-

Of the railroads maintaining offices in
Minneapolis, and in spite of the early
summer exodus which has been keeping
touring cars left The Journal office at
3 o'clock for long run.
The route lay out Nicollet avenue to
Tenth street, thence by way of Park
avenue to Lake street, which was fol
lowed to the new west river bank park
way. This latter thorofare brought the
party to Minnehaha, where brief stop
was made, after which the running or
ders carried the procession over the en-
tire length of Minnehaha boulevard to
the. lakes. Here at one Of the many
delightful resorts the party stopped Tor

Minneapolis tours, was bewildering
surprise. Never before had the foliage
along the beautiful valley Of Mime
haha creek appeared more velvety or
a richer green. The stream itself was
gank full, and sunshine and the fresh,
keen air all added to the enjoyment Of
the ride. Several of the gentlemen who

could not overcome their wonder that
Minneapolis people did not talk more
about the great natural advantages Of
the place. The west river bank boule-
ward was a revelation to everyone, the
roadway being in excellent condition,
and near enough to the crest of the
bluff to afford frequent views OF the
river. Minnehaha was looking its best
and the numerous picnic parties thruout

city.
Thanks to the good management of
the Motor Livery company, the cars
provided were large, comfortable and
fast. This does not mean that the
speed ordinance was fractured at any
stage of the game, and, in fact, the
trip consumed some hours, as several
Ion g stops were made at various places
where the scenery was particularly at
tractive.
