GRAiD DISPLAY OF FIREWORKS 1T NIGHT.
Special to THE MORNING CALL


up this morning before the Country Club
was able to muster even a dozen members
In the portico which last night was so full
OF lie and animation. A few early birds
had resisted the appeal OF nature for sleep
and were out in teams or taking a spin on
Dlcycles TO see what plenty of ozonzed air
would do TO relieve nervous Irritation and
that peculiar condition of the mucous
membrane sadly familiar to clubmen
alter prolonged indulgence in cham
payne, punch and whisky straights.
Inc gentleman who remarked that he
felt as If torchlight procession had
gone down his throat overnight found
many svmpathizers and sufferers
Some OF the very youngest of the members
had Kept things Up at the clubhouse long
after the ballroom had been deserted and
even the most incorrigible Of the night-owls
had given up. These young gentlemen were
not visible till pretty late hour this after
noon-about the same time that they had
gone to bed l. hours previously.
Very few of the ladies showed up before
II A. n. 1t was admitted by all OF them
that the ball had been splendid success.
Large as the dance hall was it did not ac-
comm odate half the couples wanting 10 trip

was disposed TO be good natured, and as
there were iGnumerabe opportunities for
flrtations in the corridors aud On the stair
ways the young ladies accepted the situa-
tlon with the best kind OF grace.
Some Pretty Costumes.
IL goes without SAYING that many
trlumphs OF the milliuer's, florists and jew
eler's art we're displayed in the ball cos
tunes. Among the most noteworthy were

coliete.

The ball closed at A. NJ to-day. The
ladies soon retired, but the gentlemen
found life burden If any slumber-loving
spirit offered 70 forsase thus early the paths
that lead 10 Bohemia. Just soon as a
man retired committee was sent 10 wake
hun up. Tie fun was pr0tTacted for an
other hour. during which a visit was paid
TO tie Pullman sieepeTs at the Del Monte
station. These seepers had been devoted
to the special service of those gentlemen
for whom there was no room in the hotel,
and as the occupants were mostly members
OF the Cosmos. University and Bohemian
clubs, specially invited. 1t is easy TO con-
ceve that the intTuders were warmly re-
ceiyed. II was grandly hilarious time-a
tine hich some OF the participants will
not forget in hurry.
Last years celebration was a success IN
nearly every respect, but this years affair
was conspicuous for the extreme good fe-
lowship that prevailed. for the absence of
all formaity and the number of new friend
ships that were formed among the best rep
resentatiyeS OF California society.
Music Hath Charms.
When the Park bands took the stand at 10
o'clock to-day there were comparatively
lew on the porch 10 listen to them, but
many scores of windows were thrown up.
and those who had not yet dressed listened
with delight to the reviying strains. The
music was chiefly of a sacred character. but
u was the best OF rs class, as will be seen
from the programme:

especially well rendered. and due applause
was bestowed, which the leader Of the band
gracefully acknUW lodged.
Alter lunch a small number of the shoot
ing members of the club repaired TO the
grounds and indulged in pool-shooting 1t
was strictly an Informal affair aud no ladies
were present Several lawn tennis parties
were formed. ana nearly every team at the
Del Monte stables was out during the after
noon conveying visitors from the northern
counties Of the State over the famous
17-mile drive. Others visited Monterey's
Chinatown, the whaery. the statue of
Juniper0 Sierra, the mission church aud the
old adobe houses scattered around the
historic town. The water was too cold for
surf-bathng, though bright sun shone out,
but the bathhruse found many admirers
from noon till p. NJ
An Unbiased Report.
There were about 60 or 20 members of the
club gathered about the clubh0Use during
The early afternoon hours, and tho results
oil the previous days match were keenly dis
eussed. 1t was generally agreed that the
poor. The fairness and accuracy of THE
CALLS report was freely commented on
and many members expressed surprise and
regret that the official record of the first -
not been published by any news
paper. There was an excellent reason for
this, namely, that the solitary wire and the
lonely operator were simply crushed by an
avalanche OF matter. all OF which was
marked urgent and none OF which could be
sent in detail.
III there ever was in the history of hotel
management and telegraphy a conspicuous
failure 10 meet requirements 1t was fur
nished in the little room at the Del Monte
In which one utterly overworked man was
seeking to perform over single wire a
labor which might safely, economically and
reasonably have been assigned TO six opera
tors over six wires. Apart from the many
scores OF private dispatches. between 5000
ana 10000 words of press matter were
crowded on one man, and, as a matter of
course, he broke down. He stayed like a
hero with his job, but this morning nature
gave out and the poor fellow gave evidence
by vomiting, by intense nervous prostra-
tion and other symptoms, of an out
rage on human endurance. Millions of
dollars were represented in the gathering
OF California's wealth and beauty at the
hotel The Southern Pacific Railroad may
not have even begun TO count its gains but
the telegraphic service furnished was not
equal on a big occasion like this 10 an ordi-
nary gathering or country people, say 80 CT
40 in town Of 1000 inhabitants. One wire
meant one operator; there was not even
relief for him. In all the history of
telegraphy and soulless corporations no
more disgraeesul failure can be found.
