Grand Duke Eagan to be the Host Of the
Republican Club-What the Men,
bers Propose to do at San Juan
in Few Days.

The Los Angeles Union league has
issued the following invitation to its
grind annual ghost dance at San Juan
by-the-Sea on the 25th and 26th inst
y Los ANGELES, CAL, July s, 1891.
DEAR SIR: BY proclamation on the
6tn inst, the Dick of Capistrano, sur
named Egan, having thrown open the
portals of his independency to the Union
league, and granted it the freedom of
his whole domain, you are hereby noti-
fed that the usual annual roundup will
be INDUCED in by that unique and some
what strongly Republican organization
on Saturday and Sunday, July 25th and
26th, in the third year of the reign OF
Benjamin of the house Harrison.
San Juan-by- -the-Sea is spot with few
equals, and a name most like Joint
snake of any place in the bloooming
west. Its sky is bluer than year after
the boom busted; its beach is smoother
and it's water wetter than any heretofore
known to the mind of man, and the gen.
eral air of dolce far niente that hangs
over the whole blooming business makes
it place to HE to that is simply i'm
mense.
Don Marco Foster and Egan, the Dick
OF Capistrano aforesaid, will turn them
selves loose to make all the gentlemen
of the league have good time-also the
board OF directors. There will be room
for rest for the constitutionally tired,
and they will be permitted to 60 away
by themselves and think with entire
freedom and sang froid. To those few
who bathe, there will be supplied surf
water, few clothes and beach to walk
ON. Soap will be rigidly tabooed as
heretofore, and the first Lacquer found
with any bread in his possession will be-
come promptly disliked.
The strongest blankets will be used
for special Union League purposes, and
while neckties are not considered strictly
en- regle, the wearers will be permitted
to come along. Those members wearing
government socks will be given
front seats at all entertainments.
While it is not likely that
much water will be needed, it
is only fair to that somewhat obsolete
beverage to say that pure stream
thereof is conveyed to the pavilion
through pipes that cost Egan heap of
ducats. What few fish were not
caught last season have been carefully
trained for the past year, and will now
bite quicker than lightning. There is
ga inn" in propinquitv to the camping
grounds, and the creatures of an effete
civilization can there find isolation from
the madding crowd which will be paint
ing other portions of the landscape a
dark cardinal.
The mission is still only couple of
miles away, and the ruin-lover can go
there and revel as of yore, taking his
own chances, of course, on earthquakes,
political tidal waves and other convul-
sions OF nature.
The ''bells" about which Fred Eaton
learned so much last year are still on
exhibition here, and the padre in at
tendance will be glad to explain to the
curious why the O'Clock bell is rung,
and in what way the church is benefited
by this early morning music.
For those of lyrical cast Of counte-
nance a special list of songs has been ar
ranged, with words of sublimity and
fitness to the wants of the league. They
will be sung at all festive gatherings
during the visit, With much ecat.
Bring your voices with you and be pre-
pared to vociferate.
The usual fleet of "white wings that
never grow weary" will be seen sashay-
ing around in the broad and briny drink,
and racing between these homes of sea-
sickness will be INDUCED in.
The game Of baccarat will not be per-
mitted on the grounds for fear OF con-
taminating the young men of the league.
No liquors that inebriate will be sold on
the premises.
A fine brass band will go along and
help to swell the glad refrain. Also
1o l.
other things needful to the breath of
the assembled throng.
The usual barbecue will be given by
Don Marco Foster, and much gustatory
enjoyment may be expected because of
the same. To those who have never OBJ
served a wholesale fry of this character,
it will be treat worth wading long
distance to see and partake of.
Nothing of hypnotic" kind will be
permitted on the ranch, but the plain
ordinary right hand of good fellowship
will be reached out to all who join in the
scenes of pleasure.
The rule heretofore in vogue regarding
tooth brushes has been abolished and
the first man seen using one of these
articles OF the dilettanti will be given
sky ride.
There will be ample accommodations
in the sumptuous pavilion for luggage
and impedimenti of all sorts and the
committee has just about worn out a
lung apiece in their efforts and
anxiety to make things pleasant
for you. If you don't 60
along and help wear off the top coating
of the state of Capistrano you are going
to miss it. You'd better get on and
ride, for there will be happiness in great
oodles and wads and enjoyment and hi
Iarity such as has been bnt rarely seen
since Caleb was pup.
Further particulars can only be had
by Joining the mad throng and speeding
to S-j-b-t-s on the day and date first
above mentioned.
