Tdred to It's Utmost.

The attractions of the day included a
concert by the Hawaiian Band, surf-rid-

by kanakas concerts by the
Rebagliate Spanish Company, solos by
Levy, the cornetist, grand ball, an
illumination and fireworks this evening.
The beach was covered with tents and all
the boarding houses and hotels were
filled to overlooking. Half-hourly trains
made constant additions to the mass of
people already here, and the bathing
facilities were taxed to their utmost
capacity. 1t was the most successful

"A Lady Passengers Experience in Noun
tain Climbing.
In riding a mule up mountain.
where the trail often runs along the
edge of precipicc, the rider is told
that it is safer to let the beast have its
own way than to attempt to guide it.
But even in mountain riding the old
adagc holds-thcrc is no rule without
its exception. Miss Sanborn tells us in
her book, "a Truthful Woman in South
ern California, that in ascending Mount
Wilson She let the reins hang from the
pommcl of the saddle, and hurnored
her mules wish to nibblc the heritage.
At narrow place, with sharp de-
clivity below, the beast fixed his laws
upon Il small, tough bush on the upper
bank. AS he warmed to the work, his
hind feet worked around toward the
edge of the chasm. The bush began to
come out by the roots, which seemed to
be without end. AS the weight OF the
mule was thrown heavily backward,
looked forward with apprehension to
the time when the root should finally
give way.
dared not and could not move. The
root gave way, allowing the mule to
fall backward. One foot slipped over
the edge, but three stuck to the path.
and the majority prevailed.
After that saw it was safer to let
my faithful beast Craze on the outer
edge. All went well until he became
absorbed in following downward the
foliage of bush which grew up from
below.
AS he stretched his neck farther and
farther down, saw that he was bend
ing his forelegs. His shoulders sank
more and more. 1 worked myself back
ward, and was sliding down behind
too late. The bush broke, causing the
mule to fall back forcibly against the
inner bank, with myself sandwichcd
between the adamantine wall of the
mountain and the wcll-shod heels of
the mule.
The animal, being as much scared as
myself, started up the trail on gallon.
l had saved my life. but lost my mule.
L resolved to push on. At the very first
turn a boy appeared hurrying back
with my palfrey.
