Arcadia.
The ladies' doubles at the Santa Mon
lea lawn tennis tournament yesterday
drew fair audience in the morning.
Miss Shoemaker and Miss English drew
bye, and Mrs. Waring and Miss Gilli-
land played against Miss Carter and
Miss McKerrow in the preliminary
round. The game resulted in victory
for Mrs. Waring and Miss Gilliland by a
score of go, 6-1. Miss Shoemaker and
Miss English were next called upon to
try conclusions and decide who should
secure the prizes. The spectators enjoy
ed treat, for the contest proved to be a
stubborn one, and was repiete with bril-
liant plays. Miss English and Miss
Shoemaker captured the first set and
looked all over the winners, but the fates
were not propitious, and Mrs. Waring
and Miss Gilliland won well deserved
victory. The winners played together
admirably. Mrs. Waring was in fine
form. Miss English also surprised her
friends, her volleying being especially
good. This young lady has improved
very much of late.

There was straw ride and concert on
the tapis Tuesday evening. Both were lib
orally patronized. The younger element
preferred the straw ride. 1t took two
gigantic wagons to accommodate the
merry makers, and it was a marvel how
SO many could be packed in such a small
space. Among those who participated
in it were noticed: Mr.. and Mrs.
Preuss, Mrs. Maxwell, Miss Mesmore,
Miss Kurtz, Ben Ward, 0. A. Stassforth,
Percy, Frank and John Schumacher,
Mrs. Schumacher, Miss Miles, II. Lich-
tenberger, Miss Bonebrake, Miss Carron,
Miss Waters, the Misses Winston, Mrs.
Pratt, Miss Dickinson, Miss Tyler, Mrs.
Rhodes, Campbell Johnston, Miss Gar
vey, Mrs Kimball, Miss Heinch, Mr.. and
Mrs. Morrison, Mr.. Tufts, Miss Burnette,
Mr.. and Mrs. Stillmen, Miss Hamilton,
Mrs. J. P. Jones, Roy Jones, Ledru Kin
ney, Miss Wright, Miss Wills, Miss Ton
ner, Miss Gilliland, Mr.. Ryan,
Mrs. Klucke, Miss Klucke,
Miss Tufts, Miss Blanche Dewey,
Miss Carter, Miss Vawter, Miss Chaplin,
Mrs. Young, Miss Davidson, Mrs. Fox,
Miss Foy, Miss Yager, Miss Swanwick,
Chase, Mrs. Vawter, Mr.. and Mrs.
Mrs. Brayton.
Two pretty young ladies OF an athletic
turn of mind, amused themselves the
other morning by spinning tops-or
rather trying to spin them-at the
Arcadia. They looked quite coquettish
while engaged in the exercise, but they
did not succeed in their endeavors, and
retired for plunge in the briny deep.
Miss Laura Chauvin looked very cap
tivating Tuesday afternoon on horse
back. She is capital horsewoman and
managed a prancing steed in such a
graceful manner as to provoke the envy
of several of the bellies of this seaside re-
sort.
Two of the brightest and prettiest
young ladies now sojourning at Santa
Monica are the Misses May and Clara
Newton.
The Newton family have taken cot
tage and purpose spending several weeks
by the sea.
0. A. Stassforth appeared on the scene
on Tuesday afternoon in faun colored
suit and Observation-Disclosures an
world-smile. He became at once in
great demand among the young ladies.
