An Underground Concert.

An amusing incident occurred at Bendi-
go recently. when the opulent Mr.. Lansel
conveyed Sir Charles and Lady Halle
down bis mo. 222" mine and escorted
them around the Lazarus" and other
mines, showing the tid-blts of his famous
tom Tiddler's ground" says the Pail
Mall Gazette.
Before descending the SHAFT, according
to gold-mine custom. visitors have to as
sumo somewhat fantastic disgulses In
order to preserve their clothes. Thus In
the lower regions Sir Charles was OBJ
served disporting himself in closc-but-
toned white canvas shell jacket. baggy
white canvas trousers and arakish-looking
larrikin hat, while his ever-styiish wife
looked trim despite a blue print cotton
frock. drab felt tennis cap and an an
cient pair OF suede gloves.
Verify their most ardent admirers
would have found difficulty In recogniz-
ing them. Interested and edited by what
they saw the visitors quite realized for
once that all Is not gold that glitters. AT
the profound depth OF 1000 feet below the
earth's surface under ordinary circum-
stances their situation might probably
have appeared wierd. impressive and even
solemn. but clad as they were. everything
seemed droll.
Joke followed Joke. and at length the
climax was reached by Lady Halle sc!zlng
a couple OF candles; holding one as vio-
lin and the other as a bow, she led of an
impromptu soherzo. whereupon Sir Charles
selected the nearest subterranean ap-
proach he could get to his grand Broad
wood-namely, . stout old bit OF eucalyp-
tus, and improvised upon 1t the pianoforte
accompaniment, fully entering into the
spirit Of the fun. II anything could have

de joie, this mastery duet minus music.

A Big Fish Story About Three
Boys.

EDITORS HERALD: If not a big fish
story, it may be of interest to relate a
most exciting experience had by the
McGarvin boys of Alamitos and Fredie
Alvarez of East Los Angeles, on last
Monday, while out fishing as early as
4 o'clock a. m. The boys boarded the
little sloop Alamitos and flew away with
a favorable land breeze. At daylight
they were eight miles southwark on
their fishing ground. After operating a
line with 400 hooks for several hours,
the fish quit biting, and they deter
mined to change locality, and they set
sail for the kelp near shore, well known
and favorite place for hand lining. This
place is also a notorious rendesvouz of
the brown seal. Having cast anchor in
the middle of dense patch of sea weed,
they proceeded to drop their lines. and
soon began to haul in fish. All of
sudden their attention was diverted to
the antics. and the general consterna-
tion apparent among the SEAL some OF
which were rising up within a few
feet OF the boat, as if ap-
pealing for protection, while
others we've clamoring in the top of
every thick branch OF kelp. While this
Was going Oh, aCIentiou WAS also al
tracted to the sea fowls that were DART
ing about in great swarms in all direc-
tions, in most excited manner, almost
every species seeming to be represented,
from the pelican to the swallow. The
cause of all this was soon apparent in
the persons of four monster whales
within a radius of hundred yards or
so. Three of them were of the fin-back
species. and the fourth supposed to be
hump-back. This one seemed to be
fully 100 feet long. and the others about
35 or 40 feet. They circled around the
kelp where the seal had taken refuge,
rising at times high out of the water.
The blowing of these monsters of the
deep was almost deafening. One of
them came up within fifty feet of the
boat in which the boys were fishing.

silent. At 8 O'Clock dancing commenced
to the music of an orchestra of FIVE
pieces. Whether it was the good music
or the gay and joyous spirits OF those
present, or both together, is hard to de-

A PLUCKY WOMAN.
Her Adventures Yesterday With Run.
away Horse,

Shortly after O'Clock yesterday after
noon Mrs. Charles Bell was driving
along San Fernando street, when her
horse became scared at passing loco
motive, and getting beyond the control
OF his mistress, ran away. Mrs. Bell
finding that she was unable to check the
animal, jumped from the vehicle, and
by stroke OF wonderful good fortune,
escaped without scratch. The horse
was finally stopped at the corner of Up
per Main and Ord streets by Officer
Stewart, who ran considerable risk in
doing so, and Mrs. Bell, who subse-
quently appeared to claim it, drove up
town, apparently unconscious of the
danger she had passed through.
