Los Angeles herald., 1891-07-31
SANTA MONICA

The day has been an unusually at.
tractive one, and large number OF Wis.
itors put in an appearance on the
morning and subsequent trains. Many
of them came down especially to see the
Charleston, which left us last night at
IL o'clock, contrary to the general un-
derstanding. One thing the Charles
toms coming demonstrated-that at a
half mile out there is over thirty-fve
feet of water. She put quietus for all
time, to all at least who saw her, to the
nonsensical statement that the water is
too shallow for commercial purposes,
aud that wharf would have to be built
we'll nigh a mile long.
The additional service OF train leav-
ing Los Angeles at 2 2:45 p. m. and one
one leaving Santa Monica at p. m. is a
move in the right direction. Now those
who cannot spare a whole day away
from their business can come down on
the early afternoon train and have from
three to four hours at their disposal at
the sea shore. If the Southern Pacific
officials will give us train leaving at
10 p. IN. two or three times week they
will be completing a good beginning
The new race track is completed. An
impromptu race has been arranged to
take place tomorrow, Friday, at 2 80
p. M, when the local sports will have
an opportunity of forming an opinion
about the speed of the new track.
A balloon ascension has been arranged
to take place here next Sunday, when
Professor Rornig and Mdlle. Hazel Keys
will be the aronauts. The ascension
will take place from the Southern Paci-
fic property, between the Arcadia and
Eckert & Hoff's pavilion. There will
be a double parachute jump, and a fine
musical programme both at Cowley &
Bakers pavilion and on the esplanade.
