DAY or JoYANcE At SPRING
PARK.

6ut pasSor Set8 root on Cake walk
at colorsd Church Picnic.
Roseate Demonstrations seemed
pale beside the glorious and superbly
superlative actualities yesterday at
Spring Park. Lake Minnetonka, when
there burst into full bloom the colored
picnic of which so much has been ex-
pected In twin city Afro-American cir
cles of late.
st. Philips Episcopal church of st.
Paul was the groundwork around
which the picnic was built, but the
''festal occasion" was far from being
confined to the communicates of the
st. Paul sanctuary. Nearly all the
colored people of the twin cities
knocked off work with enthusiasm
and put in day of great splendor at
the water side.
George Washington Tyler shone
with refulgence at the dancing pa
vilion. and there was no end of boat
ing, swimming, dancing, bowling and
fishing.
Some murmurings were heard on the
part Of the younger and more frivo-
lous element because of the obduracy
of the pastor, who put down a large,
strong foot and refused to allow the
cakewalk. A monster cake had been
provided and about twenty couples
had the dry goods on, but the pastor
was adamant.
Minneapolis Journal.
The above article was clipped from
the issue of July goth.
The negroes of Minneapolis are due
more respect, and such write-ups from
"Mr. Adams staff" will not be appre
ciated by that class of our citizens
who are villified by such criticism
We want the journal to know that
Geo. Washington Tyler" does not
represent the negroes of the Twin
Cities in any way-also that the St.
Phillips Episcopal Church does not
give cake walks. Geo. w. Tyler was
not present, nor a cake walk pro-
posed. The negroes of the Twin CT.
ties have been subjected to this for
long while. The Journal has pro-
duced many articles highly compli,
mentary to them, and apparently has
tried to give the truth. But you must
understand that they are not all in
one class. 1t may go unnoticed when
such appears in your paper as, "A
negress hits policy, for a Million
But when our best people assemble
for a days outing, we expect to be
given the respect due to us. We want
no more sarcastic write ups, and hope
that our race will be given justice
through your columns. Lying press
notices does us no good. Tell the truth
II 1t hurts you, and 1t will be shown
that these negroes are a credit tc
themselves. The white journals pub
lish our vices, but our virtues are
delitescent in the waste basket.-Ed.

night sticks to get him through the
crowd. Big crowds also greeted the
champion outside and inside the Ham.

playing. These latter crowds were
about 80 per cent composed of white
people. No racial feeling against
Johnson was displayed.

New York, August 17.-There was a sharp advance in the cotton market today or covering and fresh buying inspired by bullish crop accounts and continued drouth in the southwest, with the close steady, at net gain of13 to 19 points.
 The market opened steady at an advance of to points in response to firm cables and quickly sold up to a net gain of 22 to T points on September and August and of Il to 13 points on later new crop deliveries as a result of general buying attributed to a local report making the average condition of the crop 73.2 per cent as of August Il, against 76.4 per cent as of July 15.
 On the recent decline of over half cent a pound from the high records there had been talk of an improvement in the condition of the crop owing to the better weather over the eastern belt, and this report showing a deterioration of over 3 per cent in the prospect. caused active covering as well as fresh buying for long account Realizing bS recent buyers and selling by people who had carried cotton over the decline but had been rendered nervous by the break checked the ad- vance, which was followed by reactions of to points from the best during the middle of the day
 Trade interests appeared to be buying on the setback, however, and in the aft ernoon active new crop positions sold into new high ground for the day, with Oc- tober touching 1873, or IS points net higher. The close was a shade off from the top on account of realizing. Bullish traders argued that there had been further deterioration In the southwest, owing to the continued dry hot weather, and today's official markets officially re- ported were unchanged to Ac higher Private crop news received from the south during the day was generally bull fish and sentiment was also influenced in the direction of high prices by the rumor that reports being received by another prominent local authority indicated crop of less than Il, 100000 bales.
