Monica on Wednesday last, the proceeds
of which were given to the family of R.
Bunker, who formerly lived here and
was one of the untortunates who were
killed at the catastrophe at the Colum-
bus celebration, was a grand success
both socially and financially. AS soon
as it was known that Mr.. Bunker was
hurt Mrs. Ken Summerfield started the
ball rolling and keptS at the matter
night and day, being ably assisted by
Mrs. H. Y. Goetz, Mrs. ]. I. Connolly
and other ladies, and the success which
crowned their efforts was a we'll merited
encomium on their labors, and the broad
charity of Santa Monicans who turned
out en- mssse and not only enjoyed them
selves but had the added consciousness
of being participants in worthy move
ment.

with flowers and evergreens.

Mr.. H. A. Luckabow of Cincinnati ia
visiting the seaside.
November days have come, and they
are beautiful beyond description; not
only are the days especially charming,
but the nights equally 80 with flood of
Luna's rays on land and sea. The SUM-
sets are the artists idea of beauty, and
everything goes merrily atsthe beaute-
GUS seaside town, notwithstanding q
cotempore Of the HERALD says the en-
gineer's report is favorable to San Pedro,
which our citizens do not believe.
In the meantime, while our citizens
are attending to business, the children
to their school duties, the parsons to
their prayers, and the ladies, God bless
them, to the social side of life, the big
Southern Pacific wharf grows with
marvellous rapidity.
For three years your correspondent
has lived at Santa Monica and scribbled
in her cause, trying to do his duty. l
have always found her citizens courte-
Gus, kind and generous, but especially
has this been exempliied to me lately
during the long illness in my family,
when their iunumerable acts OF kind
ness have touched the innermost re-
cesses of my heart. This seems to me
to be the only way 1 can thank them,
and to tell them that the remembrance
of their kindly consideration will remain
with me ALWAYS.
