THE HOT DAY BRINGS OUT 1.-THE
BIGGEST CROWD
A Bath in the Surf Enjoyed by Thou
sands-why Redondo is Looming Up.
Personal Mention.

Redondo had her "biggest crowd of
the season" yesterday, and the little
seaside resort was the scene OF hilarious
gayety from the arrival of the first
trainload of pleasure-seekers In the
morning till the last had departed late
in the afternoon. The day was just
such one as drives everyone into the
water and the attendants at the bath
house were fit subjects for Stockton
when the crowd had gone. Early in
the day the last dry bathing suit was
given out, and then all comers had to
take theirs wet or not atall. There was
no time to dry them, OF course there
was a good deal of kicking over this. 1t
is bad enough to get into the wet water,
but when one has 10 put suit OF
clammy clothes on his back and walk
block before he gets to the breakers 1t
becomes very disagreeable indeed.
However, the fact that the 'wet suits
only" sign was hung out early in the
game, did not appear to be deterring
influence. The breakers were full OF
bathers all day long and those who ven
tured in found the water, the surf and
the tide all on their best behavior.
Redondo has begun to assume the ap-
pearance of real live resort. Two
years ago Santa Monica laughed at the
pretensions of the young upstart. but
now the older place must get up and
rustic or she will be left behind in the
race. There are many reasons why Re-
dondo is preferable to Santa Monica to
spend Sunday in. The surf is gentler
and has none of the boisterousness of
the breakers at Santa Monica; the bath
houses are more modern and better
equipped; the beach is smoother and, in
fact, there is nothing nice at Santa
Monica but you'll find something nicer
at Redondo. 1t is true that the crowd
is the chiefest attraction of all and that
| Santa Monica has it, but then crowds
are tickle and it may not be very long
before everybody will be going to Re
dondo.
The trains which ran down from this
city hourly, yesterday, brought
crowds of people wishing to escape the
heat and dust, and pass pleasant day
amid the cool and refreshing ocean
breezes. The entire length OF the pier
on both sides was filled with ambitious
anglers, all of whom were well rewarded
for their trouble by the accommodating
fish. The numerous vessels anchored
in the bay presented an interesting
sight to most OF the visitors. The
steamer Pelican made trip in the
afternoon, going several miles out in the
ocean. The passengers reported good
luck and delightful time. Vehicles of
all descriptions were busy most of the
day driving persons to different parts OF
the beach.
The hop at the hotel Saturday even
ing was enjoyable and well attended.
Among the number present were Mr..
and Mrs. R. H. Howell, Misses Coax
ley and Dean, Messrs. Uthoff and Mitch
