the tail of his cassock in the air and calling
the attention Of the world to his perturbed

This time it is because the big rowing regatta
Of July Ii and IA is scheduled for Lake Min

Saint Paul Is all pufed up the indig-

the Minnesota Boat club. st. Paul organiza-

placed the events on Lake Minnetonka. Out at
Minnetonka there Is big water. White Bear.
where st. Paul wants the races, is fair lake,
but when compared with Minnetonka it becomes
something like tack hammer as compared
with Homestead, Pa, power trip. Then again
the st. Paul oarsmen wanted the races held
where there was a social side to the affair and
where many people could see 1t. White Bear
might do for a race of mud scows and garbage
schooners but for big crews, with the long
shells, the coxswains would not have room TO
yell at the crew without getting out of the boat
and standing on the bank. Verify the Mime
sofa Boat club knew its little business when IL
put the races on Minnetonka
+ st. Paul anyway is getting paid up for his
past meanness. In years gone by the saint has
advertised Minnetonka as st. Paul attraction
along with the state university and Bridge
Square-in printing matter to be circulated for,
far from home. He has linked South st. Paul
ssnsage and Minnehaha Falls in chain OF utii-
T ty and beauty and has not hesitated to print
pictures of Minneapolis parks and buildings
along with portraits of the high bridge at the
suburban city-giving outsiders the impression
that st. Paul spread out like pint OF coal oil
! on a frogpond This is merely retribution.
Everything points to a big success for the
rowing regatta at Minnetonka. 1t will be big
lake, big races, big time. All we can say to
st. Paul is our familiar greeting, Welcome
to our city"

races upon the Mississippi the saint overlooks

down from South Minneapolis, and has forgotten
the ripples Of empty boxes, deceased cats and
dogs that might interfere with the work OF
the crews. knowing that 1t is not going any

careless about what it throws in the river
