The mistaken idea prevails that there
are no accommodations at the island.
This is very erroneous impression.
People come and go and at the present
writing there is ample room for at least
200 more people. None of the hotels
are full, and plenty of tents can be Sc
cured, so no one need stay away for fear
OF not getting accommodations.

greater variety than ever before. The
enterprising Banning Brothers have
erected very elaborate pavilion for the
benefit of the guests at the island.
Dancing is INDUCED in every evening at
the pavilion by the votaries of the light
fantastic. Before the dancing begins
Romandy's orchestra gives short con-
cert. There is no charge, every
thing being as free as the waters
OF the Pacific. Hundreds go in bath
ing every day, and fishing parties are
made up every half hour. Fishing is
tirst-class just at present. Big hauls of
barracuda are made every day near
the seal rocks and the isthmus. There
are innumerable boats of every variety.
The bath house, while not as large, is
very much superior in it's appointments
to those at most seaside resorts.
The Metropole hotel is run this year
by experienced hotel men. 1t is first
class in every particular. The furniture
is all new and the cuisine is excellent.

tion to these there are several smaller
boarding houses. Avalon has plenty OF
room for all comers this year.
