Notes and Personals from the City by
the Sea.
From early dawn to sunset today the
beach was alive with pleasure-seekers,
the surf fairly black with bathers, their
shouts OF merriment mingling with the
roar of the breakers. The sands were
dotted with jolly groups OF excursionists,
the pavilions crowded with basket pic
nickers and everywhere was gaiety and
animation. Every kind OF refreshment
was in greatest demand, and the propri-
etors of the various resorts were taxed to
wait upon their many patrons. Every
possible kind of amusement was in
dulged in. The number here was fully
5000, some estimated over, and the res
taurants and lunch counters were
cleaned out before sunset. At the north
every suit was in use by y O'Clock, and
from then on many anxious applicants
for suits clamored for every suit as fast
as they came from the laundry.
The music on the esplanade was list
ened to b; large and appreciative
audience. The excellence of Mr. Craw-
ley's choice of location of the band stand
was thoroughly approved by the thou
sands present, and the gentleman stated
to your correspondent that the stand
would stay where it was until the band
was removed at the end of the season.

A special train of ten coaches from
Cotton, Riverside and San Bernardino
pulled in at 10 a. M, bringing in over
800 passengers.
Miss Dolle Hagenbaugh presented a
most attractive figure as she sported in
the surf in her neat and attractive
bathing suit.
The large crowd here today proves con-
clusively that the railroad company
needs more facilities to accommodate the
travel. There should be a large pa
vilion built adjacent to the depot where
| the passengers could sit while waiting
for the train. The grounds should be
graveled and sprinkled, and a drinking
fountain should be convenient where
the thousands could slake their thirst.
Quite a number of excursionists
rented houses here today, concluding to
spend the summer with us.
Several of our young ladies will grad
uate at the Hannah Los Angeles college
Tuesday evening. At the solicitude OF
our citizens, the company has agreed to
run special from Los Angeles late in
the evening if they have guarantee OF
fifty passengers. Those who wish to
secure passage on the train should leave
their names at McKinnie's drug store,
next to the postoffice, where they can
ascertain all particulars. j. G. Fl.
