Monterey (Cdl) Letter to Cincinnati Enquirer.
1t is rare exception to find California
girl who cannot swim. The most expert
ones are those who visit Monterey, whore
the swimming baths are located. The hight
OF the season is generally in July, bpt the
crowd has come earlier this year. The
beach Ia crowded ell the morning ard spec
tators line the shore. Among the more
expert swimmers is Miss Price of Santa
Clara county. She is blonde, quite
plump In figure, weighing $50 pounds,
three or four inches over five feet in
hight, stylish in dress and a great favor
lite in her set. This is her fourth
season at Del Monte. Among her admirers
Is an eastern gentleman by the name
OF Goodman. He has woed without sue
cess for two years. Young Goodman is o
Yale graduate, aud, while not particularly
good-looking, has fine address and pleasant
manners. Miss Price has not been averse to
his attentions, and yet his popularity with
other young ladies excited no jealousy on
her part. 1t appears that on last Thursday
evening, while promenading after the hop,
young Goodman told her he was to return
east ON June l unless she accepted him.
Miss Price replied that he could have

ming to the raft and back. The
raft is anchored several rods from the
shore, and at high tide is at good swimming
distance. The challenge was accepted at
once, and the next day at IL, high tide, set
for the trial. Word went around among
their friends, and many wagers of boxes of
candy, gloves, etc., were made on Miss
Price winning. Goodman took up a num-
Der Of bets. as his gentlemen friends were
~ <.xA
high when the hour of contest came. Miss
Price looked very pretty, with blue and
white striped bathing suit. Goodman
came out with regular Yale-blue suit on
and escorted his fair adversary to the
edge of the water. Mr. Beeler acted
as referee. The signal given, both rushed
into the water and struck out, Miss Price
using the overland stroke and Goodman
the frog style. As Miss Price climbed up
on the raft first, the large crowd of friends
yelled Justify, and waved their hats and
handkerchiefs. Miss Price rested until
Goodman reached the raft, when she was
seen TO stand erect, place her hands together
in front and dive. As she came up she was
seen to turn on her back and raise one hand.
Goodman Immediately sprang into the
water and lowed her back TO the raft.
Their friends on shore became greatly wor-
rled lest she had met with an accident. She
was seen to remove the stocking from
her left foot, which Goodman rubbed vigor-
ously for twenty minutes. She had eramp.
Again they both entered the water, Miss
Price swimming with one hand while she
kept hold with the other of Goodmans col
lar. Their friends crowded around as they
reached the shore, and, the matter of the
cramp in the foot being explained, all bets
were declared off, Goodman claimed the
race, although 1t was patent to every one
that Miss Price could beat him swimming,
Goodman says that heaven smiled on him
that time. They will be married June "a.
