SANTA ANA.

Several Society Events-Low Tides at
Laguna-Notes.
SANTA ANA, Jan. 2S.-The social cir
Giles of this city are on the move and
from all appearances it will be for some
time to come. Several parties were
given last week by the 400 and it seems
as though they would continue. Next
Thursday afternoon Mrs. A. B. Harris
will entertain quite a number of her
friends with games and a delicate lunch
con, and one or two more parties will be
given this week within the same circles.
This ia always considered one of the
most social cities ON the coast. There
is always such feeling of sociability
pervading Santa Ana that no one has
the time or inclination to do aught but
be on his best behavior and have good
social time with his neighbors. 1t is
these social events that bind people to-
gether more closely and make COM
munitieB more desirable to live in.
Today is one of our finest Southern
California days, and about church time
this morning our streets were fairly
lined with people going to church. The
churches were all we'll attended today
and the singing seemed better than
usual.
There has been balloon ascension
and bull fight advertised for today at
San Juan by the Sea and in consequence
quite number OF wheelmen went down
on their wheels this morning about
O'Clock, and when the train went out
several bus loads of the sporting class
took advantage of the opportunity and
went down to see the fun.
About three years ago at one OF these
bull fights one of the best citizens WAS
gored in such manner that ne never
, fully recovered from it and finally died.
Today quite a number of wheelmen
from Los Angeles came down to our
city to see the sights and have a good
time. Our roads are in an excellent
condition, making bicycling pleasure.
There has been quite anumber OF sick
people in our midst for the past few
months from the frozen east, and the
past beautiful weather has improved
them in health very materially.
A man from the east who has business
interests in Santa Ana is thinking of
putting in a furniture factory in our
city and all he wants is encouragement
from our local dealers and business
men. Ali the cheap grades of furniture
can be manufactured here and save q
G. @. Flies wife, son and sister, are
visiting in San Diego. and will remain a
week or ten days.
Quite number OF Santa Ana people
will 60 to Los Angeles Monday to attend
the STANFORD horse sale.
ID. F. Wilmer, who has been spending
several days at Laguna beach watching
the recent low tide, says he never saw
anything like it in his life. A great
many curious things were to be seen
that never present themselves excepting
at an exceedingly low tide. He caught
what ia known aH sea porcupine,
something very seldom seen. During
the extreme low tide large
whale came in and got into some kelp,
and there stayed and died, but no one
knew what the cause of his death wac.
This also created quite an excitement
among the campers. Laguna, situated
as it lie, lie never subject to the cold
north winds, but even in tbs winter is
mild and genial, go that bath in the
surf is not uncomfortable at any time.
If Laguna only had railroad it would
undoubtedly be the most popular resort
on the coast, as its reputation is now
known all over the coast.
Monday night Hermosa chapter No.
1856, o. E. S., will hold its regular SEES
sion.
A number of Los Angeles business
men were on our streets today, but we
were unable to get an interview with
them.
David Waldron Of Los Angeles was on
our streets today. Mr.. Waldron was
= one OF the old supervisors before this
and Los Angeles counties were severed.
He owns some property in this locality.
The Methodist congregations of both
churches are joining forces and holding
very interesting series of revival meet
ings. Interest seems to be growing.
