Medals for Swimmers and BIcyclists.
Local Notes.
SANTA MONICA, Aug. There was Q
Misunderstanding all around which
caused the swimming match and bicycle
race to fail to come off on Sunday.
Money was offered instead of prizes,
those having them in charge thinking
the winners would then be enabled to do
with the coin as they desired. But it
seems it would, according to sporting
rules, make all participants ever after
wards professionals and accordingly they
would not enter the events.
The North Beach bath house manage
ment are contemplating getting made q
couple of handsome medals which they
will give to the winners of q race, the
winner to hold it against all comers for
q certain time or number of races, when
it would be his trophy for all time.

The HERALD representative was busy
all day interviewing the citizens about
Inc proposition to have the old oil lamps
removed and the city lighted by elec-
tricity. There is e unanimous feeling
on the. part Of the citizens, many Of
whom have signed the petition to the |
board OF trustees requesting them to |
change from oil to electricity. The sen.
'iment il so strong that undoubtedly the
'hange will be made. the board only de-
'irlng to have the sentiment of the peo-
'le before acting. and thus another
'oom comes seaward. Every good for
une seems to come our way now.
