REDoNDo BEACH, Oct. 2.-AnotheI
brilliantly successful gala day must be
scored for Redondo. At 2:3O this after
noon throng numbering 5.l6O people
had been unloaded in our midst by the
railways, with several trains later on to
swell the crowd.
The Standardization element was
quite pronounced in the crowd today,
doubtless brought out by the presence
of the celebrated national Mexican band,
staying here tor a few days.
The musical programme for the day
vas opened by the First U. s. cavalry
band at the Casino at $3.50 a. m, play
ing several grand selections and adjourn
ing to the Hotel Redondo at IL q. M,
when from the hotel veranda they gave
several sonorous overtures as prelude
to lunch.
The Mexican band opened its re-
portory at ii a. m. at the Casino, play
ing great variety of their own music
and many popular selections familiar
throughout our country.
The afternoon concerts commenced at
the Casino at p. M, by the United
States cavalry band, and at 2:30 the
Mexicans opened up, and go alternating
with each other, the place was Kept at
concert pitch, about all the time.
The crowd at 2:30 p. m. became a
crush, with no vacant seats and little
standing room.
While the First cavalry band has the
great advantage of their Mexican con-
freres, in the possession of the most
superb and perfect Instruments, the
Mexicans make up in numbers and
very fine execution.
Both bands received vociferous and
unbounded applause throughout their
performances.
The crowd was happy, and gratiied
With the entertainment. Some regret
was expressed at the non-arrival of
Governor Torres and staff, and General
MtCook and staff, who we're unavoid-
sbly delayed.
The steamship Corona, from the
south, reached her berth at 1915 p. m.
today, and got away for the north at

disc and 80 passengers for San Fran
cisco.
