SANTA MONICA.

The Celebration Today-Trustees' Fro
ceedings.
SANTA MONICA, July 3.-There are no
new developments in the tie.up situa-
tion here to chronicle since my last, and
up to the hour OF sending this by spe-
cial carrier the whistle Of the locomotive
has not been heard here.
That the strike will materially inter-
fsre with our Fourth OF July celebration
goes without saying; but we will have
one just the came, and while the num-
ber OF pleasure seekers who would come
were the trains running will not reach
here, still there will be perfect avn-
lanche of vehicles, from the regulation
'bus, holding dozen or more. to the
ono horse shay of ancient days. Those
coming will have, perhaps. all the more
q good time, and the fun will be fact
and furious, trains or no trains.
1t is expected that the entertainments
at Amusement park, swimming race at
North Beach plunge. water polo and
aquatic tug OF war at the same place
will take place.
The firemen's ball at the opera house
will present a merry scene OF light
hearts and gay footsteps, while pleasure
will reign euprems at Hotel Arcadia,
where a grand ball takes place. The
parade will also be enjoyed by those
here and those who come.
TIE ROAD RACE.
One thing is sure, the greatest road
race ever run on the Pacific coast will
take place and We all confidently expect
to see record broken although last year
was good one, namely 5S minutes.
The entry list is large one and it would
not surprise me TO Gee every one turn
out and give the boys such an ovation
as to make them forget home for at least
one brief day. There are LOG entries.
The przs list is good one and all that
remains is for the records to be made
which will be chronicied in the HERALD
ae OF yore. es,se..e t t
All the hotels and restaurants intend
to Get just as inviting bill of fare as
were the Fourth blessed with the plen-
itude OF trains arriving and departing
promised by the railroad management
before the Pullman imbrogio envolved
our little town in its troubles and one
and ali intend to banieh all care.

in position to be of no service to
the public, no one being able
to get on or off, and that
something should be done at once. He
believed the best plan to pursue would
be to advertise for an-extension of it in
