HOTELS TAXED TO THE LIMIT.

Alter several days of murky and
stormy weather Sunday broke clear and
bright on Clatsop beach. The crowds OF
permanent visitors were augmented by
numerous excursions and the entire
beach was in gala attire. The dance at
Seaside Saturday might was a great sue
cess and the fishermen's excursion on
Sunday was about 800 strong, while about
as many more went to other points along
the beach. The throngs were most order
ly and welQ conducted and the Seashore
railroad handled the large numbers OF
people in a most efficient manner.
Sunday was "a grand fine day." as the
Irishman says and was devoid, OF heaVy
winds and fog. The air was pleasant
and THE bathing good. Hundreds were in
the surf and enjoyed the sport III the
waves to the full. The little folks were
in their element, digging in the sands,
or, with clothes tucked up, wading In the
water. Scattered along the shore, shell
tered by some huge pieces of driftwood
or an umbrella the Typical young lady
could be seen reading the --latest fiction.
All were bent upon recreation and pleas
ure. The hard worked BUSINESS man,
the worn out preacher, office boy and
clerk, each in his own way seeking re-
spite from the daily grind.
The view of Tillamook Head from
Gearhart Park on Sunday was one OF the
best had for a week. The entire outlines
were clear and distinct, and as seen
Through THE blue air with THE sunlight
dancing on the waves the picture was
perfect. The sunsets during the week
past were particularly fine and greatly
enjoyed by those fortunate enough to
see them.
AT Gearhart Park Manager Barmore
and his efficient force have their hands
full. Every room In the house Is occu-
pied and what with the meals furnished
to campers and Sunday eXcursionists 1t
keeps them very busy. York'S celebrated
orchestra of Portland has been engaged
for the balance of the season and now
discourses beautiful music during meal
hours and in the evenings.
Thursday the breakers were so heavy
that 1.-The bathers for the most part had
to give it up. One lady, who. was hang
ing onto The life line was carried off her
feet several times, but had presence of
mind ITO cling to the rope and shout
Justify for help. Surf Manager Ray soon
had her safely on shore, as we'll as a little
girl who had been dn wading, but got be-
yond her depth. Al were winbhin the
life lines and perfectly safe, but the
water was too rough for comfortable
bathing.
The dance Saturday night in the dining
room at Gearhart was a complete sue
cess. The music was furnished by York's
orchestra, and the large rooms could
scarcely accommodate all of, the guests.
1t is the intention of Mr.. = Barmore to
give these dances weekly.
The new bowling alley has made a
great hit and is one of the principal
amusements of the guests, large and
small. Some good scores have been
made and all like the exercise.
The Portland coIored mandolin quar-
tette spent several days at the beach
last week and entertained the guests
with their good music.
Sunday Messrs. Holdridge and Dickson
held services in the Auditorium at Gear
hart, assisted by Yorks orchestra and
Miss Gladys JONES' the soloist. A large
number of the guests and visitors at
tended and greatly enjoyed THE meeting.
In the afternoon Prof Thielborn, who
is the guest of MIR. and Mrs. M. c. Cros-
by, gave a sacred concert in the hotel
parlors.
Yesterday the summer school of the
teachers adjourned and formally broke
camp. The seasons outing was most sue
cessful and was one of profit and pleas
ure to ALL Nc doubt it will be repeated
next year. The question of establishing
permanent Chatauqna grounds is being
considered and 1t is thought that the
present auditorium will be removed to a
spot where about ten acres can be used
for Chatauquan and summer school pur-
poses.
