Cupid held an an impromptu, reception
couples last week at the foot of a
washed-out bridge on one Of the east
ern railroads. Of course, there was
nothing in the way of smart appoint
ments, with the exception Of what dear
Mother Nature provided in her generos-
ity, wonderful scene of bright June
foliage and wild flowers, within few
hours from Chicago. But it was all
jolly and opportune, particularly so for
the blues Just the least bit, because all
the joy of her new-found happiness
would not drown the thoughts Of home
| and parents, took roster view Of her
surroundings and future. She simply
shrieked with delight as she heard the
familiar giggle Of her Minneapolis girl
| friends from the car windows of a
train which was also stopped by the
| washout.
Wednesday, June 6, as we all of us
know, was banner day for weddings in
Minneapolis, and many a couple left
that evening for the east.
One by one the trains were stopped
by the .washout and the wedding trips
were interrupted until the bridge was
repaired. When al 1.-The "bridal spe-
cials, '.,'.,as the crews call them, came to-
gether in a bunch there was no end to
the jollifcation. Cupid probably sat up
! and smiling at "work we'll done.n : AS
a matter of fact there were so many
bridal couples near that old bridge that
men and women on the train who had
gone thru the stages Of the crystal and
silver anniversaries were not even given
the benefit Of a doubt and were Judged
guilty Of having been Ffjust married. -
Is tennis to become the rival of
j golf? Is there. to be war between the
sports at the Minikahda clubs Judging
from appearances one is almost inclined
to think so. Anyway. if it is the case,
it will make life iolliers and bring
more and more young people to the club
1 house this summer. Interests have been
divided for some time between golf and
tennis. The enthusiasts Of the latter
claim that it really gives a better chance
4 for sociability, for no matter how de-
voted player may be, he is never too
/ tired not too interested in the score to
chat and visit.
club members that ga tennis tourna-
ment will be held on the Minikahda
courts, Saturday afternoon, starting at
] O. Clock have caused f1utter Of
pleasant anticipation
In the spring splendid courts were
! laid out for the use of the players. One
/ Of the courts is for the women and one
for the men, Matches will be of one set
each, and prizes will be awarded to the

/ Among the men there has been a d.

amusement, while others prefer the
tennis courts. DR.. Ii. w. Day, Elder III.
Moulton. Jr., Charles Pillsbury, Harry
Be1den, Edgar Pearson, Harry Selden

on the courts. Quite a little is expected
