AT REDoNDo.
Good Fishing From the Pier-Those
Who Were There.

Who Were There.
"They'll never give us folks chance,
and fishing so good now, too," remarked
discontented Redondo resident yester-
day as he stood pole in hand looking at
the procession coming down toward the
wharf from the cars. 1t was an excited
crowd, and no wonder, for serried line
of poles already extended along the outer
edge of the wharf, and the active move
ments among them proclaimed that the
fish were biting as well as they have
been for the past four days. The fishers
were arrayed along the wharf as close to
each other as they could get, and when
a man felt bite and suddenly raised his
pole he could not always be sure that
some one else had not hooked a fish at
the same time and that he was unlock
ing the wrong one. But it was the
ladies who did most execution among
the fish and upon the wharf. The
fish bit gallantly but better for the
ladies than for the gentlemen, and when
they came up out of the water one
would have thought them flying fish
from the way they darted about among
the heads of other fishermen, until some
gallant individual caught them, de-
tached them, rebaited the hooks and
saw that the same were safely in the
water again, when new fish promptly
took hold and the performance was re-
peated. Presently, as the day advanced,
boys with big strings of fish forsook the
wharf for the bathing beach, and the
tide being low and bathing good, they
were speedily joined by sisters, cousins
and other folks's relatives in the water.
All day long the fish bit, and all day
long the bathing beach was patronized,
30 that the beach presented as lively an
appearance as on almost any Sunday
during the summer.
The Riverside Knights of Pythias band
was on hand and rendered an excellent

The steamer Pelican, with her har-
