Los Angeles herald., 1892-08-05
AT AVALON.

Athletes-Recent Arrivals.
AVALON, Catalina, Aug. 3.-"This is
grand place." said ex-Mayor Workman
few minutes after his arrival, Wednes-
day evening, to HERALD reporter. SIN
a few years Avalon will be to Los An
geles what Coney Island is to New
York." Mr.. Workman but expresses
the unanimous opinion of almost every
one who has visited the island this sea-
SON. By the way, over one thousand
more people visited the island during
the month OF July than ever before. In
fact, Avalon has today the largest pop
ulation by several hundred than ever in
the history OF the island. 1t is safe to
assert that before the season is over,
5000 more people will have visited the
island than ever before in one season.
Every daily boat now brings in over one
hundred passengers. Catalina can now
be said to be in full blast.
AN OUTING TO THE IsTIIdUs.
The isthmus presented gala appear
ance en- Wednesday night. Theold bar
racks were gaily decorated with Japan
ese lanterns and fifty young ladies and
gentlemen went mp from Avalon for a
moonlight sail on the Pacific ocean, and
dance and supper at the isthmus. The
steam launches Linda and Mascot made
the trip and there was quite an exciting
race between them from Avalon to the
isthmue. The Mascot is somewhat
smaller and had fifteen minutes the
start. 1t was pretty race up. Slowly
the Linda gained on the Mascot and the
excursionists evinced the greatest inter-
est in the outcome. Captain Wooding
was in command of the Linda, and the
Mascot contingent pinned their faith in
Captain Silliman. They were rewarded
for their confidence as the Mascot ex-
cursionists were the first to reach the
supper table. The following is list Of
those who made the journey:
Linda-Mrs. Reed, Miss Susie Patton,
Miss Florence Reed, Miss Edwards,

YOUNG LADY ATHLETES.
Two young Los Angeles ladies accom-
plished rather difficult feat on Wednes-
day. Miss Jeanette Hsvemann and
Miss Lena Forester, accompanied by
Charlie Bunnell, as escort and guide,
walked across the island and back in
trifle over five hours. These are the
first two ladies that have made this
trip, as the road across is very hilly and
steep and requires more than an ordi-
nary amount OF endurance. Both Miss
Havemann and Miss Forester we're
very much fatigued after their long
journey, and each succeeded in wearing
out pair of shoes.
