A little walk from the hotel and the
clubhouse is reached. This building con-
tains bowling alley, bar-Ioom, etc. The
bath house is about a quarter of mile
from the hotel, and contains one hundred
rooms. Mr.. Daily. the well known swim
mer. is to have charge of the beach and
bath-house. Taking everything into con-
sideration-the hotel, grounds, appoint
ments, etc.-it is one of the most elegant
seaside resorts in the United States. Be-
side the above is lake of about five or
six acres, which is beautifully adapted to
purposes of boating. Half mile away is
a mile race track in process OF construc-
ton, etc.
THE HOP LAST EVENING.
After the arrival of the express train
last evening, and an ample discussion of
substantial repast in readiness for the pas
sengers on their arrival, some hundred odd
ladies and gentlemen repaired to the ball
room, and to the music of Ballenberg's
band tripped the light fantastic until nearly
midnight. 1t is the intention of the man
agement of the hotel to have music two or
three evenings each week from now on,
and regular hops every Saturday evening.
The floor of the ballroom is as perfect as
it can be made, and is a very fine one,
especially for Waiting.
THE CROWD TO-DAY.
After the arrival of the excursion train
to-day with thirteen coaches of live freight,
things were exceedingly lively, both in and
around the Hotel del Monte and at the old
town of Monterey. The excursionists
made grand rush for the dining-room of
the former place, and Schonewald, who was
not expecting such a vast multitude, how
ever, fed over four hundred hungry San
Franciscans in about an hour and half.
There were nearly a thousand people in the
hotel and on the grounds at one time !;
there were over six hundred on the excur
sion train, and nearly three hundred who
had arrived on the trains and steamer since
Friday. All but nine rooms were occupied
last nj ght, although four fifths of the guests
were transients. The day is as lovely as
we could wish.
METEOROLOGICAL INFORMATION.
During the month just passed the pre-
vailing winds have been from the west,
with a minimum velocity of three miles !;
the total rainfall was less than an inch,
which descended during the first ten days
OF May the latter part was warm, dry
and beautiful. The weather here it seems
is delightful medium, very seldom too
warm or too cold. The grain fields here
abouts most all look splendidly, and sue
cessful crops are assured.
NEW LOCOMOTIVES AND MORE SPEED.

has just received two new passenger loco
motives from Schenectady, n. Y, intended
