SUMMER SCHOOL PICNIC.
A Pleasant Day Spent in Santa Monica
Canon.

No summer school in the United
States can surpass in advantage of
climate, pleasure attractions or excel
lence of instruction the one now in ses-
sion under the management of Prof. F..
P. Powell. of Santa Monica, and Prof.
Plummer, of Rosedale. These gentle
men planned to have the teachers with
as many of their friends who desired to
take lunch and spend an evening in
Santa Monica cailon.
Promptly at 4 O'Clock Wednesday a
merry party of ladies and gentlemen
started from the school house and in a
pleasant half-hour drive arrived at q
beautiful spot in the caflon, shaded by a
huge sycamore and made cool and pleas
ant by the delightful sea breeze blow
ing. AS soon as everyone alighted
Prof. Rowell kindled fire and the la
dies began roasting corn and making
coffee. Mrs. J. Powell Rice, of San
Diego, and Miss Mary E. Foy, of Los
Angeles, made the coffee, and such
coffee Jimmie" Foshay, of Monro-
via, was kept very busy carving water
melons, for which he seems to have de-
veloped considerable talent.
Superintendent Monroe, of Pasadena,
and Prof. Dickinson, of the University,
helped very much at the table. Finally,
everything was completed, and one of
the finest lunches of the season was
served.
Only one thought seemed to possess
each individual-if possible nothing
must be left to carry home. After
lunch the members of the party amused
themselves by strolling under shades in
the canon, by games interspersed with
singing, etc. At O'Clock all started,
and driving homeward by the coast
road, enjoyed scenery the equal OF which
can not be found on the continent. En-
tering town party spirit ran high for a
serenade, and the man selected for pun
ishment was Hon. Abbot Kinney, of
Pasadena. Home, Sweet Home" soon
brought his stalwart form to the gate,
but pity forbidding further cruelty, the
party drove on and soon disbanded for
the evening. The following ladies and

most pleasant and enjoyable affair:
