day, and the water could not be tenn
pered more delightfully."-. The number
of bathers increases daily, and Saturday
and Sunday we have perfect influx Of
visitors. The number of basket picnick-
sers today was more than usual. The
surf was literally patronized and quite
a number visited the various outside at
fractions, the caflon receiving the lions S
share. The various livery stables were

half miles; arch rock, five miles; To-
pagno caflon, seven miles; soldiers
