Interesting Paragraphs from the New
Seaport.

Seaport.
The day from early morning to sunset
was simply beautiful. Boating, fishing,
bathing and horseback riding were in
dulged in to its full extremity. Parties
who visited Catalina returned telling
wonderful fish tales. Twenty-Five were
out on the last trip on the Tia-Juana
Those who were not seasick were the
worst kickers. The large crowd that
went to Los Angeles last night to take
active part in the Democratic demon
stration for Pond and Del Vale looked a
little the worse for wear, but at the same
time say they never witnessed or ex-
perienced as much enthusiasm in any
one parade or at any one political occa-
sion as they did at this one at Los An
geles. Redondo is solid for Pond and
Del Vale.
The grading Of our streets and the
surveying of sidewalks, which we will
soon have miles of, are rapidly being
pushed by large number OF workmen
and teams. The walks in front of the
Redondo hotel and to the depot, bath
house and wharf will in very short
time be equal to a city of old standing.
Captains Ainsworth and Thompson will
do what money can do to make this a
winter resort, as fine if not finer than
any upon this coast. Captain j. G.
Ainsworth and wife left this morning to
visit the ruins of their home at Glare
mont, which was burned yesterday.
Messrs. Mullus and Ledyard, real es-
tate and insurance agents, have moved
into the new brick block, and are in fine
quarters. The Redondo Beach Compass
has also handsome rooms in the same
block. improvements are daily seen
springing up in different parts of Re-
dondo. 1t is almost impossible to get a
furnished room or rooms for house
keeping. A cottage is no sooner vacated
than filled. The Raymond excursionists,
| for which arrangements have been made
to visit us this winter, will help to build
up Redondo and all will be done by the
Redondo Beach company to make it
pleasant for them.
A number of campers are pulling up
stakes to leave us, but it is those who
only came to stay short time. The
circulation of the HERALD does not de-
crease and has as much demand as in
any preceding time.
The various steamers, pleasure boats,
lumber barges or schooners, freight
barges, yachts, twelve train to and from
Redondo and Los Angeles daily, the
song OF the pile driver and the whistle
OF the steam locomotive or steamers at
all hours OF the day and night, are
enough to say.
Among the many visiting to Redondo
were noticed Mrs. j. F. Saxby, Mr.. and
Miss Kendall OF Ventura, r. hughes
OF San Francisco, Mr.. l.. G. Nc
Kerby and son OF Los Angeles.
The steam lumber barges, "Noyo"
and Emily" loaded with cross-ties for
the Los Angeles Terminal railroad, ar
rived on the 10Th, and are still lying at
the wharf, discharging their cargoes.
The five masted schooner loaded with
long piles for the Redondo pier exten-
sion is on her way here.
The Pelican made her usual excursion
around the bay, starting at 10 a. m. with
a very full boat-all she could possibly
accommodate.
The steamer Los Angeles brought
down from the north about 100 tons
mixed merchandise. She will return
tonight, taking out 100 tons of freight.
The Santa Maria is now at the wharf
with 5000 bundles of laths and zoo
boxes of glass, one saw mill outfit and
mixed merchandise.
One attraction to our swimmers here
is the expert swimmer, Mr.. John Mul
| berry, OF Cambridge, England, well
| built man of not less than 200 pounds,
some so years old. He floats as lightly
as a cork, while his easy, graceful APP
pearance in the water could only be ex-
celled by seal.
Bathing has been good for the past
few days, ard fishing has been unusual
| ly good; many fine catches being report
ed in deep water.
Miss Ella Lloyd, who has had charge
of the bath house for the past year,
leaves tomorrow for her home in Los
Angeles.
When the new extension of the wharf
is completed, which will be in the near
i future, the Santa Rosa steamer or any
foreign vessel will be able to land here
with all safety.
Pile driving is progressing rapidly and
cross timbering hassalready begun on the
extension of the wharf.
The Bonita will bring tonight 200
sheep and eighty tons of general mer-
chandise.
Yesterday was pay day at our wharf.
S. B. Hail. agent for the Los Angeles
and San Francisco daily papers at this
place, has been sick for the last ten days
with his old enemy, the asthma. He is
now able to be out again.
