VENICE, Aug. 1.-THE first annual
outing of the Minnesota Gopher society
was held here today
1t brought about $50 natives of the
New England of the West" who re-
newed acquaintanceships, talked about
back home" and had good time gen.
orally. Some disappointment was ex-
pressed by the party because of the
small number present, it being esti-
mated that not less than 1000 Minneso-
tans live in Los Angeles and half as
many more elsewhere in the county.
The arrangements were in charge of
Edward Winterer, president of the
society, who was assisted by several
special committees. Mrs. l.. S. Mitch
ell, secretary, registered the "Gophers"
on their arrival at the reception COM
mittee headquarters, and Mrs. Grace
c. Hilton distributed pretty emblem
attic badges and souvenir booklets.
There was no program outlined for the
day and the party divided itself soon
after arriving. AT 12 o'clock lunch was
served in the auditorium. and extern
poraneouH addresses were made by
President Winterer and Mrs. G. c.
Hilton. The afternoon was given over
to bathing, roller skating and other
means of amusement. and the festivi-
ties were concluded with a grand bail
at the auditorium in the night.
