What COney Island is TO New York
Harbor View might and indeed should
be to San Francisco. Not only on ac-
count OF its location is it desirable re-
SORT, but also, inducements are held out
for the comfort and pleasure OF visitors
as great as could be obtained at any OF
our fashionable watering-piaces. First
among the attractions in this charming
little suburb is. of course, the magnificent
property of r. Herman. When one steps
from car and passes through the gate
way il would seem impossible that such
beautiful hedges and foliage could flourish
in such luxuriance almost on the waters
edge. Sheltered from wind, aud yet re-
ceiving the full ocean ozone. guests may
take their dip and afterward picnic IN any
part OF the several acres Of gardens al
their disposal, where seats and tables
seem to have erected themselves in the
choicest shady hooks or covered corners
The surf bathing is exceptionally hne,
and the arrangements for hot salt baths
are as near perfection as can be possible.
Not only are the facilities for bathing oil a
frst-class order, but other caterers Tor
public custom deserve snecial mention.
For instance, the GermaDia Garden gives
the head of a household chanee to please
and entertain his fanny for a day at
scarcely anv cost. While ladies enjoy the
grounds and prepare the lunch the sterner
sex have the use of bowling alley.
For those who do mo- care to trouble
themselves in preparing luncheon there Is
an excellent restaurant just at hand,
owned by Mr.. SchwarZ. he has made no
small reputation for his clam chOwder and
crab salads. and deserves the good name
he has acquired.
Ernest krahner owns another of the
many comfortable resorts of the place. He
has been there for twenty-siX years, and
has always a hearty welcome for guests.
AS a rendezvous for men no house draws
q cork with such geniality as that OF John
Hpgan-hearly lrishman that he is. Even
on the journey out one can make excellent
provision for the inner man al the corner
where the cable-cars transfer to tee steam
dummy, for William +. Heuer has a really
frst-class assortment of everything neces-
sary for travellers or picnickers at city
prices.
Much is said ard heard about the new
Lurline baths, at the corner of Bush and
Larkin streets, but certainly not too much.
There can be no doubt that in its line the
gigantic construction viii compare favora-
bly, with any in the world. Descriptions of
this water palace have of late become
mOnOtOnous. Nevertheless no mere narra-
tive can do Justice TO the completeness of
the accommodation provided for bathers
The management, which savOrS of ".
Greer Harrison. may be complimented on
the high class of patrons which they have
secured. The baths are at the same time
popular and fashionable, aud bathers
have the satisfaction of knowing that the
water is entirely changed every day. l is
DO small undertaking TO provide for 80. 900
plungers per month, and yet the Who'll.
concern is on such large scale and TIE
building is so replete with every con-
venieuce that double that number might
be permitted to wet their heads" without
Inconvenience. Public opinion decides the
success or otherw wise of such enterprises,
and the fat has gone forth unanimously
that the Lurline baths are unsurpassed.
