Los Angeles herald., 1891-06-08

fishing was, as general rule, very pop
ular. The end of the pier was black
with anglers-male and female-and
enthusiasm ran very high, though the
fish did stay somewhat low in the
water. One fair fisher maiden was hav-
ing her first experience of the kind, and
she wanted to know chow it felt"
when the fish bit. No one could tell
her just what the sensation was, and
she sat for an hour without getting a
nibble. Finally she gave it up in dis
gust and was nearly heartbroken when
she pulled her line out of the water and
found that the fish had eaten all of the
bait off her hook. She had "felt some
thing Jerking" but she didn't know it
was fish.
The dancing pavilion is an institution
of which Redondo alone can boast.
This is situated above the wharf and
contains a really good dancing floor.
For those who do not scorn this kind of
sport on Sunday--and there were many
who didn't at Redondo yesterday-the
opportunity is good>to enjoy a waltz or
stand through quadrille.
Since last season there have been many
improvements made about the hotel
which add greatly to the beauty of the
place. An inclined plane of earth,
planted with flowers of all kinds, ex-
tends from the bluff down to the walk
on which the lunch pavilions are built,
and when these flowers blossom the
whole side of the hill will be a, mass of
color. The cement promenade, which
extends from the hotel to the railroad
station, on gradual incline, is another
addition since last summer and very
attractive feature. The beach company
has also built long elevated platform
in front of the hotel and just above the
beach, on which has been placed num-
Der of small lunch sheds, which are
both ornamental and convenient.
