Ed. NEWS: The morning Of the LIST
Inst. at San jose I took my seat along
idle the genial Jehu. Of the SAINTS Cruz
stsge. Scarcely had I found myself
fairly seated when some M Gays, ''can
I at along side Of you.' and | had tue
pleasure Of greeting my old friend
"Wardy
n. Z. Ward, whom I used to know In
Oregon aud elsewhere ; one Of the be't
men that ever lived. as we'll as one OF
the greatett wits. Idoubt not rnanya
one who reads this, remembers the
many. otherwise weary. hours, he has
made 20 pleasant. that they were sorry
when their journey ended. when he
was driving stage on SCOTS Mountain
or In Oregon. Washington Territory.
aud Idaho. and. other routes. He Is
one OF those truly witty me who does
not depend upon bad language and
slang words for Wit, and cannot relate
the mort ordinary occurrence without
making IL Iaughable. I would apollo
xlze for this eulogy. although richly
merired, only he Is an old
Pioneer stage Deliver
On this coast and really II OF Its re-
,nsrkable men. aud many an old friend
will be glad to read or hear OF him, and
that he l. alive. younger looking than
ever. and doing well In San Jose. He
has not been driving for the last seven
years, but has Just returned from
Texas, aud thinks Of going back there
10 live. The day was very warm and
the dust smothering, a. what wiid
there was followed along with us. and
kept u enveloped in the dust We made.
We had \ heavy load outside aud q
yoodly number inside. About ten
miles our from Santa Clara our
Thsrsaxhbraee Brsks.
All hands had to turn out In the hot
test. busiest place In the world. and
work for an hour before It was patched
up with the aid Of a we'll rope (which
wardy took '.in the name OF the U.
3. mail.") sufficiently to take u to the
first station. The ride over the noun
tsins was f~asclnstingly beautiful, ~
all the scenery Of the coast range Il.
The road mot Of the way Is enbow-
cred with trees, nearly excluding the
suns ray.. A. o o a. we began TO
| descend towards the coast the sea
breeze met u. and cooled u 80 thor.
ouyhly that We all hunted u over
coat., aud got Into them as soon as
possible. Soon the beautiful little
town OF
saata Crsx
Appeared to IA nestled away In q hol-
low between the mountains AMI the
.and ridge Of the shore, the coslest.
most home-like and permanent looking
lplace I have found OIL this coast.
Everything about It looks IS though
tile people intended remaining here
all their lives and they meant TO he a.
comfortable rs possible. Every house
Il. surrounded by beautiful ground.
tl,ed with II ,wers aud shrubbery. and
Nil the dwellings are cottsge style.
our accident delayed u so tliat we did
not get III until 6 r. ~, Instead OF 4,
the usual time. Thanks to Warlys
funny stories and inexhauStible fund
Of vic and humor. the time seemed
short aud We were almost sorry 10
atop. although we we're all thoroughly
tired when we drew up III front Of the
Ocean House.
Rsardisg Hsases.
There are u number Of hotels here.
but \ great many Of the families pre-.
fer the boarding houses, Of which the
principal are Mrs. Pstterson's and
Mr.. Pope's. The former Is kept BY
the incest old English lady. who gives
her boarlers delicious home-cooked
food, and makes them feel ut home
every way. Her charming young lady
daughter adds 10 small sum tn the At
fractions OF her house. particularly to
the old bachelors. Being u superb
singer and musician. She makes the
evening. u rare treat to all who are
favored enough to live there or get All
Invitation to call. They intend build
Ing n larIe hou.e ear the beach this
Winter for next Summers visitors.
The climate here l. y great Improve
meut upon S,uta Clara, for It Il never
too warm AMI only occasionally too
cold. rhs sea breeze Is exQuisitely
soft and balmy.
Sea nathisg.
The bathing beach Il all q person
could AJAX. though the water Is . little
too cold until one gets used to Il but
the bathing facilities are horrible and
ex,ortlonste. A mere shanty Of loose
boards. soaking wet. with q wet bench
aud two musty towels. arc the dress-
Ing rooIns and contents. for the use OF
which they charge you Is cents and
you tuinish your " bathlng dress ;
Il not. % Cents more ; aud such . nasty
old rig MS II u they give you. Warm
sea baths can b. hsd Ia a close. sosk-
Ing wet oom. enough to give u the
tlc-doloreaux. OF asthma. to say
nothing Of the discomfort. These ele-
CANT ~ establishments are under the
proprletorShlp and management Of two
ditgu,tingly dirty, dlsagreeabls old he
hogs. by the name Of Tybrun. I
should think II the people OF this place
ever wanted to make this an agreeable
resort they would clear out that rub.
