BIG WHALE ASHORE.
He viii be Placed on Exhibition at Santa
Monica, Cal.

SANTA MONICA, Cal, July 23-Con-
siderable excitement was caused this
morning by the news of the finding of q
big whale that had been cast up on the
beach near Ballona, about five miles
south of here. The leviathan is reported
to be fine specimen Of the right whale
seventy-five feet long and weighing
about twenty five tons.
As soon as the discovery was made
known here the Southern Pacific and
North Beach Bath House people set to
work to have the whale towed to this
point and put on exhibition for the bene-
ut of the visitors on Sundays and other
days. The finders were paid $500 for
the privilege of exhibiting the whale
here, and the tug, Coils, was sent down
to Bsllona early in the day to drag the
whale off the sand ard tow the carcass to
some convenient landing here. It is es-
timated that it contains at least $175
worth of whaIebone
