LONG BEACH.
A Pleasant Day on the Sands The
Chautauqua.


A Pleasant Day on the Sands-The
Chautauqua.
Long Beach yesterday had a larger
crowd than it has enjoyed since the
Fourth of July. Three carloads of
people arrived from the city on the early
train, and more came in on every train
during the day. What was more to the
purpose, more than half Of the arrivals
remained at the beach, having come
down to attend the Chautauqua meet
ings, which commence tonight.
1t was hard, even for the church-going
portion of the community, to keep away
from the beach yesterday, for the air
was balmy, the sun bright and the water
OF just the right degree of temperature
to be pleasant.
The bath houses both did rushing
business, and were dealing out wet bath
ing suits in the afternoon, nOtwithstand-
ing they have very generous supply
for the use of the regular campers.
The little ones frolicked on the beach
with their usual freedom from care, and
their parents, knowing how safe the
gently sloping sand was for the small
men and women, calmly lay in the
shade and read or dozed, until the de-
mands of appetite or some wonderful
find brought the little folks back to their
sides, clothed in dripping suits and un-
alloyed happiness.
An old man was reading HERALD in
the shade when gentleman sitting next
him remarked: "Say, that was pretty
tough story the HERALD published about
there being 10000 people down here on
the Fourth" The old gentleman calmly
regarded him over his spectacles, then
replied: "If the HERALD said so, it was
So. l would swear by that paper every
time"
