G "a ioSding feature Of the Park was
t .lo boTsp-racing On their beautiful

Goarifornia in general. was fine, but
~ the midst Of the general hilarity
IL the information clicked across
t HUa Continent that the president is
J 5L,9 cast a gloom over all. On
tuesday TT1 afternoon we proceeded on
70 San Francisco, which we found
framed in mourning. The party
hare scattered in all directions, as
their various tastes directed. On
warning of the oath a small party of
is went on our way to Monterey,
which is about 125 miles south of
San Francisco. This place is SO
clean. clear aDd beautiful in all its
bearings that we might say almost
ANYTHING Of it, and still be within
the confines of truth. One of our
number, a young lady from Salt
I AXE, was heard calculating a great
many times while walking through
the grounds: "Aint this perfectly
lovely :" and all seemed TO agree
with her, for the surroundings gen.
orally seem to fill the heart full Of
admiration and to raise one clear up
into the very elySium Of delight. In
and about the Hotel del Monte we
ind almost all kinds Of groves
mixed in here and there among the
green lawns and beds of flowers
which add to the interest and
Oeauty Of the place. One place, the
Bathing Pavilion, made a special
Impression on my mind, and really
upon my whole person, for | took 8
ath there, and such a bath as ]
never took before. My boy Ned
and l got on our tight bathing
suits and proceeded TO one OF
the tanks and there found about
fifty ladies and gentlemen spectators
10 we lost no time in hiding our
@lVeS beneath the waters by pIung-
Ing in frOg-like, head first, and upon
coming to the top, who should we
ind in the same tank with us, but
Henry Sadler, f. D. Clift,B. G. Ray
.tuld, John H. Bailey, of Bailey 4
Sln, and II. r. Mann, of San Fran
cisco, formerly insurance agent of
.Sat Lake City, and some others not
.Ot our company. In short we had
IA most jolly time. Mrs. Louisa
Wells and daughter Emeline took
.th9 private bath and thus missed all
.the fun. The bathing pavilion, into
which salt water is pumped daily
from the sea and warmed to an
agreeable temperature, is said to be
the largest and most complete in the
world. The main building, contain
ng the tanks, is seventy feet wide
by enc hundred and seventy feet
long. and is twenty feet clear height,
from top to platform, around the
tanks, TO tie-beam Of rOOf-truSS.
The four tanks are each about
thirty-siX feet wide by fifty feet
long running crOSS-WayS with the
building. The bottoms of the tanks
areinclined and vary in depth. The
ShaIOWest tank at its ShallOWest
end is three feet six inches deep,
.andthe deepest at its deepest end is
.SNteet six inches deep. The total
.capcity Of the tanks is two hundred
anC seventy thousand gallons.
Ea1 tank is heated by steam, con-
Veyd through coil, which coil con-
