Santa Monica Visited by the
Usual Gay ThrOng.
The Polo Club Reception Was a
Great Social Event.
The Barrel Race Prevented by the
Strength of the Breakers.
Two Young Ladies Who ventured Out
Too Far and Were Rescued With
Dificulty-Beach Notes and
Personals.


crowd came down late. The beach was
packed for several hundred yards when
the contestants for the barrel race strip
ped off. There was no barrel race, how
ever. All efforts to get the barrels out
to the raft proved unavailing. The
boat containg the barrels capsized. and
an attempt was them made to get them
out by tying strong rope around them,
but the waves soon dashed the barrels
apart.
The undertow was something terrific
yesterday and very few bathers ven
tured out far. The most expert swim
mers were very cautious.
Two young ladies had very thrilling
experience with the breakers. In the
morning one lady ventured out too far,
but was rescued by several bathers who
heard her cry for help. In the afternoon
another young lady, who ventured out
quite distance with gentleman,
suddenly became alarmed and clung to
her escort so that he was powerless to
aid her. Two gentlemen came to the
rescue and the young lady was carried
to the shore none the worse for her
scare.
Some husbands do unreasonable
things at times. A railroad man who
lives in a place where it is much hotter
than Los Angeles came down unexpect-
edly to see his wife at Santa Monica the
other day. The young wife was having
q slashing good time, but her hubby
was at the seaside two days before she
learned of his presence. There was
quite scene, but everything is report
ed to be now serene; at least the gos-
sips 80 report.
Another ravishing bathing suit made
its appearance yesterday. The wearer
was pretty and had form divine. She
visited Santa Monica and fairly electri-
fled the frequenters of the plunge by
appearing in the nattiest kind of blue
bathing suit. 1t was the most
fetching suit ever seen at Santa
Monica. The lady displayed such
grace in her swimming that
Santa Monicans are still talking about
her aquatic prowess and the pretty
bathing suit.
The lady returned to Los Angeles on
the next train, and everyone at Santa
Monica is ON the qui vive to know who
she is.
During the afternoon the Penelope
passed Santa Monica. The Lacy yacht
looked very graceful as she sailed within
a hundred yards OF the beach.
Saturday evening the most brilliant
social event of the season at Santa Mon
ica took place, when Messrs. Cowley
& Baker of the Arcadia gave ball in
honor of the Polo association. The mem
bers of the association attended in a
body. wearing their colors-black and
gold-while their fair partners were
also equally loyal. The large and
capacious ballroom was crowded to its
utmost capacity with as brilliant and
select a gathering of Southern Caliior-
MAS 400 as ever graced ballroom. The
costumes were especially appropriate
for the occasion, and everyone present
was more than pleased with the melody
which made willing feet and happy
hearts keep rythmic time. The supper
served during the entertainment was
an fait in every respect. At the close
of the hop the gallant escorts and their
fair partners were more than ordinarily
reluctant to retire, but the thought that
every Saturday there would be as
equally an enjoyable time buoyed them
up on leaving.
