COOL ON HER SANDS.
How the Day Was Spent and Who Were
There-A Young Blood Manages to
Drop His Wad.

4hCiO W Wd5 LIZ Shd1lCotOh &C jill 0tOl az
tion at Santa Monica yesterday, but the
biggest crowd OF the season was in at
tendance, nevertheless. Every train
brought down thousands of Angeleiios
anxious to get sniff OF the sea breeze
after the hot spell of the. past three
days. 1t is estimated that ten thousand
people put in the day at this popular
seaside resort. Santa Monica never
presented gayer appearance. What a
rushing business was done by the vend-
ors on the beach! They all must have
increased their bank accounts very con-
siderably. The bathers were very nu-
merous yesterday. and scores will be
! using vaseline for several days to come.
There will be an unprecedented demand
for this balm, as the sun played havoc
with the exposed parts of the unsophis-
ticated bathers.
The beach was packed with visitors
and several times the surf made them
beat hasty retreat. In fact, several
hundred got their dainty feet wet by an
unexpectedly high breaker. There was
an abundance of pretty girls to be seen
on the beach. The little tiirtations were
not as common as usual, owing in a
measure to the crowded condition OF the
beach. During the afternoon there was
little sprinkle which is quite out of
the ordinary for Santa Monica at this
time of the year. 1t did not come down
hard enough to Inconvenience anyone or
even mar the pleasure of those squatted
on the beach.
A story was being retailed around
about young blood from San Francisco.
He ran against some card experts and in
( quiet little game Saturday night was
done up to the tune of $1,000. Those
who should be on the inside assert that
an ex-saloon keeper quit the game $1,000
to the good.
The ball at the Arcadia Saturday
night was quite delightful, although the
temperature was trihe too high for
dancing, even at a seaside resort. The
ladies were all appropriately attired in
summer gowns. An appetizing supper
was served at the conclusion of the
dance.
