SANTA MONICA.
Close Of the Lawn Tennis
Tournament.
AT THE HOTEL ARCADIA.
A Brilliant Scene-Twenty Couples
on the Floor - Beach
Gossip.

Monica. The depressing mists of the
previous days were entirely absent and
old Sol seemed determined to compen-
safe for his delayed appearance by max
ing everything as bright and comfortable
as possible. The water was as perfect
for bathing as if its temperature had
been arranged by system Of hot and
cold water pipes, and few there were
who did not avail themselves of dip in
the seething waves. The sands had q
much larger attendance than is usual on
week day, and the merry laughter from
the groups of pleasure-seekers told how
we'll they were enjoying themselves.
The closing contests of the tennis
tournament did not attract quite as
large an audience to the Casino as usual
bua all of the enthusiasts of the game
put in an appearance at some time or the
other during the day. The first event
decided was the handicap singles, and
the Carriers added another leaf to their
laurels by an easy victory by Mr.. Frank
over his opponent Mr.. Wood. The
handicap stood F. Carter owing q, Is,
and Wood owing u, and Is for l bisque,
but though Mr.. Wood had defeated
Messrs. X. Carter and Barry in the
previous rounds his last opponent proved
too much, and he was retired by score
of so; 63; 60. The handicap doubles
were commenced directly after the result
of the singles was announced, and by
the afternoon all of the playing was
over. The victors we're Messrs. Saun-
ders and Wood, who received p, Is, and
the team they had to meet for the final
was the scratch one, Messrs. F. Carter
and X. Carter. Taken all through, the
tournament has been very successful and
will net a handsome total in gate receipts
for the treasury. The enterprise in
erecting building like the Casino is very
commendable, as there is no doubt but
that it will link the social bonds OF the
community in much more effective
manner than could otherwise be devised.
At present the various chambers are not
completed, but the busy throng of car
penters and builders shows that there
will be no time lost until the last nail
is driven. 1t will then be handsomely
and appropriately furnished, and will be
used as regular club house and meet
ing place.
AN ARCADIA GERMAN.

made that leap year german was to be
given at the Arcadia on Monday night it
was pretty generally understood that
nothing would be left undone to make it
brilliant social success. The fact that it

Platter, Miss Childs, Miss Barnes and
Lieutenant Reber was sufficient indication
that everyone's hopes would be realized
and how truly this was 80 can be attested
by all who participated in the proceed
ings. 1t was a great success from the
moment when the first strains
Of sweet music called the
dancers to the floor to the
hour when the gay throng, flushed with
the excitement and heat of their Terpsi-
chorean efforts, retired to enjoy a
nights we'll earned repose. To describe
the costume worn by any particular lady
would be invidious and unjust, for all
were deserving of attention and showed
wondrous taste on the part of their fair
wearers. Twenty couples in all occupied
