REpoNDo, May 6.-The first school oi
mackerel of the season gave signal Of
their vacation from the high seas this
week. When the old fisherman sees
that sign OF tiuttering on the still, glossy
waters of our bay and knocks the ashes
out of his pipe on the heel of his left
boot with the air OF q man who
thoroughly understands himself. and
is heard to murmur, ''that's them y
then and not until then it is
time to take down your rod and basket
and sharpen up your bait knife. Then
is the time when the old man, with his
trim rod and tackle, basket and pipe.
and the small boy with bare feet and
knowing smile, are envied because their
baskets sound the long roll such as only
a mackerel can sound, while the tender
foot buys bait and gets his line tangled
the small boy still bangles his bare feet
over the side of the wharf and smiles
and the old man smokes and cuts bait.
Redondo already has her apron strings
tied in readiness for the throng of sum.
mer visitors and for her many friends
and well-wishers throughout Southern
California who have always admired
this place for itself alone, and felt the
interest which the place, 90 peculiar in
itself, never fails to excite in the Wis.
itor. The promise is made from everv
point here to offer more sources of
amusement and interest this season than
ever before. Many changes will be noticed
by the first OF our semi-annual visitors
the coming season; Improvements
highly legitimate that stand finished to
show them the earneHtness with which
the Redondo Beach company continues
to show enterprise in making Improve
ments, the last OF which is to add 100
feet in length to their splendid wharf.
Last season where it wac hard to find
desirable cottages for rent, we now have
no less than thirty beautifully finished
cottages and residences, built within
the past three months. Especially to
insure those who desire such for the
season, that they shall be satisfied in
this respect, these improvements are too
numerous for mention. Passing from the
residence portion of the place which has
40 many homelike spots down to the
beach we find much that is new and
worthy of inspection. Commencing at
the Pebble beach, which has scored such
popularity on account of its inexhausti-
BILE yield of rare gems, we find it
like an anthill dotted with its eager and
merry guests gathered to find these
gems. A little further up the beach
where the sand dunes now lie barren
the visitor may find yet remaining un-
earthed many curious relics OF the red
man. On returning to the town you
first come to the large pavilion which
is now being remodeled in the in
terror and under able management
will offer programme OF interesting
features during the coming season.
Refreshments OF every kind will be
served, with brass band in attendance,
and for those who would rather cool
their brain than to bathe in the Pacific,
this place offers attractions. Glancing
from here along the front street, the eye
is met with restaurants and refreshment
stands, with decorations and tempting
displays, ample to serve an army OF
hungry and thirsty souls.
Many new improvements are seen on
the Front street. among which some
are worthy of special mention, which
space will not permit this time. Suffice
to say, we have no lack of accommoda-
tions for all who favor US with their
visits.
The hotel grounds now appear invit-
ing in their gay dress, the sloping in
cline in front, with it's covering of
ever-blooming Indian red vines are seen
far out at sea by passing steamers.
Those who would like to spend day
brimful of interest and innocent pastime
should come to Redondo.
