Celebration.
The sands at Santa Monica proved
attractive enough to induce large at.
tendance there yesterday morning, in
spite of the fact that the atmosphere was
as dull and heavy as on the preceding
days. The seas ran rather high and
large quantities Of weeds were washed up,
making it not too pleasant bathing in
close to the shore, although out about
fifty feet it was as excellent as the most
critical swimmer could desire. One OF
the favorite sports of the residents of the
ocean city is riding, and every morning
quite a number turn out for a pleasant
gallop across the downs that abound a mile
or so from the heart of the town. The ten
nis:tournament, however, has proved the
principal attraction during the past week
and although the play is commenced at
the early hour of 8, there is always a
good attendance at that time of enthusi-
asts of the game. 1t was expected that
the contests would be concluded by last
night, but in spite of the fact that no time
at all has been lost, it has proved Impos-
sible to close up the sport. Tomorrow,
however, will accomplish that end, and
it the handicap doubles do not prove suf-
ficient to last until evening, some scratch
games will probably be arranged. At
O'Clock this afternoon the most impor-
tant contest Bthat has yet taken
place in the courts will be called.
1t is private match between Mr.. r. P.
Carter, of Santa Monica, the present
champion of Southern California, and
Mr.. Tobin, of San Francisco, who carried
off many honors at the recent State
tournament at the Del Monte, Monterey.
Both men are in good condition for the
match and cannot plead the want of
practice, as they have been playing hard
every day during the past week. Con-
siderable money will change hands on
himself for $3.50, and a $500 bet is
first choice in the betting: The sport
giles, the final of which had
uOt Uoou pldycu Wucu tu0 udy
play terminated. Mr.. R. P. Carter and
MIR. Bettner both scratched, and this
disappointed many who were anxious to
see how they would do uphill work. The
following are the official results Of the
days play:
