CORONADO March 21.-The sight of
the surf lashed by the strong wind has
been something grand for the past few
days, bringing many to witness it. Now
that the storm has cleared, nature wears
a new smile. and out.oi-door amuse-
ments are enjoyed with increased pleas
ure. Wednesday's tally-ho trip 10 the
Old San Diego mission was one Of the
largest and gayest of the season, and
nearly the entire guests OF the great
hotel were assembled on balconies and
verandas to watch the grand start.
These old mission outings are very popu.
lar this year, with luncheon served in
the o.d grove and an impromptu con-
cert always given by the Indian chill
dren at the government Indian training
school.

Chicago has never been represented
at this resort by more prominent per-
sons in large numbers. The guests of

Chicago distillsIy. as we'll az great
mine owner; A. E. Hutchins, manager
of the Standard Oil company in the
northwest, with his wife.
Considerable local interest ia mani
tested in the probable location OF the
Coronado postoffice, since the appoint
msnt of Maj. Hugh Gwyn to succeed ].
L. Dryden as postmaster. It is quite
likely that in case a change is made the
Wilhelmina on Orange avenue will be
utilized as being more central. The
rumor that it will be removed to the
Hotel del Coronado is without founda-
ton.
On Thursday the celebrated trotting
dog "Doc'' will trot against a pony on
the hotel track, and on Friday a paper
chase will be the amusing event for
hotel guests.
One of the enjoyable customs inaug-
urated this year by the Gymn Kahna
club is the Wednesday afternoon tennis
party on the hotel courts, with tea served
at the close of the game on the verandas
OF the Coronado Water Spring house.
