We found the "City by the Sea" in
capital trim and most inviting to
the summer sojourner. We struck
that perfect mean between O
temperature relaxive and brac-
Ing which, at Santa Monica,
as at San Diego, in the
estimation of tho Travelled
and discriminative, discounts Nice
and Mentone. The surf baths were
hugely patronized, while the an
glers, who included such practised
disciples olive were going to say
Izaak Walton, but the reference
seems too honeyed-the art pisca-
torial as Col. Baker and Andrew
Glassell, Esq, were in their glory.
We found, also, in Captain Green,
of the Court House "click,n a
fisherman of no mean pretensions.
This American citizen of African
descent had hauled about sixty
beauties of the "briny" out of their
element when we encountered him,
and his cry was "still they come"
With Oliver Twist, though his
basket was bursting. Greene still
cried for more, and his deft manip-
ulation of his rod secured what he
craved. "Mine ,host' Johnson is
still as popular as ever, and still
sets royal table at the Santa
Monica Hotel, in which clam
chowders and artisticAlly served
fish ara recognized and priced fea-
lures of the daily cuisine. The
"gilded youth" of this section and
the feminine elite, as well, are at
Santa Monica in full force.
1t Is believed that a stock com /.
pany, even, when organized and
conducted for the public good and
with benificent views, can be made
to pay. 1t requires only honest and
careful management. There are
numbers of men in this city who
can give it both, and they can be
found without a lantern. The In
dustrial Aid Association having
these will be u success and bless
ing. The price of its shares is placed
so low, one dollar each, that num-
bers will have vote in the selec-
tion of the proper officers. The cleo
tion of incorpOrators or trustees
will be made at the meeting called
for this afternoon, at 2 O'Clock, at
Union Hall. All the subscribers
and the public generally should be
in attendance. No one Ia yet
thought of for Directors or other of.
ficers. These will be nominated by
the free choice of the assembly,
which, 1t is hoped, will be large.
The citizens of Los Angeles will
then have an opportunity to inau-
gurate an institution which cannot
but prove of great public benefit,
for Its sole object is that of intro
ducing such new industries and
manufactures as may be thought
advisable, in this locality.
The handsome advertising wag-
on of Woods Last Sensation was
an object of int crest to the juven-
lies as it passed through our streets
yesterday. In their eyes it looked
like the avant courier of verita-
BILE circus. The "Sensation," with
the exception OF horses, has all the
attractions of hrst-class CIRCUS
acrobats, tight rope performers,
jugglers, etc.-with the addition Of
II variety troupe of the best
performers on the coast. Colonel
Wood will make his grand entry
into the city on Saturday morning
and at ! o'clock Andrew Watrigan
will walk on tight rope from the
ground to the top of the center
pole, the greetest free show ever
given in Los Angeles.
Judge Peel had very full at
tendance at his levee yesterday
morning. G.. Redding, colored, for
assaulting another colored man,
paid $40; VIM. Moreno, also an
American Of African descent, paid
a like amount for assaulting an Of
ficer; Frank Mitchell, for petit lar
ceny, went to the chain gang for
sixty days; Spaniard named AL
varas and +. Mohl, German, for
assault, each contributed SIS to the
City Treasury; two common drunks
went up for five days each and two
who added disorderly conduct to
being drunk, were sent 10 the chain
gang for ten days each.
Mendel Meyers concert at Santa
Monica Saturday night was a
charmlngly successful musical
event. The audience was large
one and the music was of excop-
tional excellence. Medel's pro-
fictency on the violin is always
notably thorough and artistic Mr..
Ludocici volunteered several piano
accompaninents, which were
warmly received and the whole af-
fair will be remembered as de-
lightful one.
A very short distance up Ocean
Avenue, Santa Monica, there is a
leafy bower where, every Sunday,
delicious music on the zithern and
violin is discoursed, with accom-
paniamentof lager beer and cheese,
and other refreshments to the pal
ate. This is sort of picnic rem
devious, and it thoroughly realizes
the name. 1t is in fact kind of
Boffins' Bower. where If not poetry,
at least the flow Of soul is the ru!-
ing principle.
Fourteen mule teams, in large
numbers, were to be observed on
our streets yesterday, the "prairie
schoonorsp attached being packed
down with sacked grain. The diff
