Every week a large number of people
wake up to the fact that it is possible to
make the round trip to Catalina island
and return to Los Angeles on the same
day with several hours to spend in the
beautiful Avalon. The result is that the
Sunday attendance is steadily increas-
ing. A great many people go down on
the Saturday afternoon boat, returning
Sunday evening.
Under the present arrangement one
may leave the Arcade depot at eight
O'Clock in the morning and arrive at
Avalon at little before twelve. The
Hermosa, which is at present making
live trips week, is an elegantly equip
ped boat which gets over the waves in
a comfortable style, and there is no
particular risk of sea-sickness. At
four O'Clock she starts back and
the visitor is put down in Los Angeles
at half past seven. In the four hours
spent at the island there is ample time
to secure a good dinner at the hotel or
at the restaurants, take a dip in the
quiet waters of the bay, and do some
successful fishing.
Yesterday the Hermosa took over
about 125 passengers and brought back
about 150. The trip was pleasant both
ways, although on the return the sea
was little rough and several were ill.,
The number of people now at Avalon
is said to be much larger than at this
time last year, and the outlook is
good for an excellent season. The
yellow tail are running lively;
six hundred of them were taken in on
one haul by fisherman known as
Francisco. Bait was for time scarce,
but is now becoming more plentiful.
The principal event under discus
sion at present is the capture of the first
large Jewish. 1t was pulled in by Mr..
Pendell last Friday and weighed 239
pounds.
Last Saturday evening there was an
1t is planned to have regular hops once
aweek hereafter.
The Paloma and the San Diego were
anchored in the harbor yesterday, and
the Nellie arrived in the afternoon.
A very successful photograph of the
bay was taken a short time ago by Herve
Friend, of this city. 1t has been pho
tographed from great many different
points OF view, but heretofore none of
them have succeeded in covering the
entire bay. The camera was placed
near the top of the range, right back Of
the unique castle of p. Gano, and
pointed toward Sugar-loaf. The result
is view which covers the entire curve
OF the bay. Hunt and Hargitt, who are
: the agents of the HERALD on the island,
are disposing of many copies of this
photograph.
TIE sloop Hattie took ten passengers
on an excursion to the quarry yesterday
afternoon.
