Drowning Of q Young Lady at the At

ATLANTIC CITY, N. j., June 1.-The
first drowning at the bathing grounds for
over a year occurred at the foot of Illinois
avenue to-day. Charles r. Thompson of
Cleveland, Ohio and Miss Jennie Grogle,
aged 81, of Philadelphia were in the water.
Thompson took the young woman dan
gerous distance from the shore to give her
swimming lessons. They were caught in
a whirlpool near the boat jetty, and be-
coming separated cried for help.
There were scores of bathers on the
strand, but no one started to the rescue,
and with despairing cry the girl sank be-
meath the waves while several looked on.
Robert Brady, a brother of the bathhouse
keeper, heard the woman's last shrek,

SANTA CRUZ, CAL, June 2. - The
counting Of the votes for the ten maids of
honor was completed at half-past this
morning, and to-day the main carnival
talk is the discussion about the lucky
people who are to receive the honors at
our grand Venetian carnival. There is
general satisfaction among the towns
people in regard to the ones chosen by the
popular vote of the people, which resulted
as follows:
Josie Turcott, 1868.
Jennie Hughes, 1858.
M. A. Peck, $40.
Edith Pixley, 73S.
Nellie Nixon, 702.
Mabel Chace, 525.
Hedwig Buss, SOL.
George Skinner. 43S.
Annie Linscott, 429.
Rose Mulhern, Ais.
Although it was Sunday, the carpenters
started to work on the new pavilion to-
day. 1t is going up as if by magic and the
large force of men are kept very busy.
The first accident during the progress oil
the Venetian Carnival happened to-day
A carpenter named Kitchen while at work
on the carnival pavilion fell from the ROOT
to the floor, distance of thirty-four feet
and struck on his side, making hole in
the floor. He was unconscious for time
A doctor was called, and he was taken tc
the Eastern Hotel. 1t was found that his
wrist was broken and his face badly
bruised. A subscription for his benefit
was Immediately started among the men
employed ON the building. Contractor
McCabe started the list. The carpenters
will raise 500 and the members of the
association another hundred.
The large force of men also have worked
all day on the dam at the mouth Of the
San Lorenzo. The many people who spent
Sunday at the beach-and the crowd was
large as the day was perfect one-paid q
visit to the mouth of the river and found
that the dam was sure thing. The water
is already beginning to rise and is run
ming through the race. The dam, without
question, is about as we'll built as it could
be.
The work on the bicycle track is also
being pushed forward very rapidly, and
everything will be ready for the grand
bicycle meet.
This week will be the week for decorat-
ing the places of business, which promises
to be very profuse. At present there is not
flagstaff in town that does not fly the
carnival colors, and hardly a merchants
window that does not contain some artistic
design in the carnival colors. Many of the
business fronts are covered with bunting,
and by the end of the week Pacific avenue
will be mass of yellow and white.
Among the features of the regatta is to
