SEASIDE At SANTA MONICA

StAS|Dt HI SAN|A MON|CA
SANTA MONICA, July 20.-On Mon
day. July 18th, the resort. town, and
civilization here was just twenty years old
and as II determined to com m EN- crate the
event, those lat the popular resort have
made the week just closed busy one
from pleasures standpoint. Not being
content with the round of dances. music
ales. evening strolls on the beach, ETC., ,
they lugged in during the fin de selcle
days OF the week an Arctic visitor in a
whale which has drawn immense crowds
and furnished little perfumery. What
monster he is as he lies there rolled and
tossed about by the rising and eboing
tide. and what an object lesson to the
multitude who have never seen one. To-
day the last time IL will be on exhibition
before being towed away to be cut up for
the oil and bone. there will be undoubt-
edly crush as our theatrical friends
would say for it is not every day in the
week monster mammal can be leisurely
inspected by landlubber
In speaking about the whale a correc-
tion in the report of who found the ami
fisherman: who, while out in the early
morning fishing saw what he supposed
was a wreck of some fishing smack and
rowing out to 1t discovered it to BIZ a dead
whale. He Immediately went back to
shore ard securing the aid OF his partner,
secured the prize
While out on the beach with q Young
friend Of mine the other day he exclaim-
ed: Does it ever occur to you how
PRETTY, the girls are that make summer
melodious and resplendent here this
year?" And he then grew enthusiastic
over their beauty, vivacity, good breeding
and form. 1t evidently IS a fact that the
daughters of the Golden state can vie
with the bellies of Baltimore or 1any other
part OF the union. 1t is an easy matter to
select beauties in every group and those
not as blessed have the beauty of intellect
and soul to a marked degree. Every body
at the seashore likes music this year,
everybody under thirty loves to dance and
all the girls unmarried and some married
vi beach, ocean. music. handsome girl
and dapper lad are seemingly conduclve
to such feeling.
Outdoor Sport
In outdoor pastimes cycling is still the
reigning sport, despite the ordinance of
our city fathers, who prohibit riding ON
any sidewalk in town. Marshal Dexter
has had printed and posted numb Der of
cards warning tha public of the fact. A
wag after securing one has posted it on
tree IN that section OF the South Side
which was sidewalked during the boom,
but where houses are yet O scarce COM
modify. They wheel in single file. par
ties OF dozen or more. tandem. ana to
every point OF interest while on the beach
at low tide they skip along in great giee.

Casino being occupied all day, there being

Bumiller, G. L. Waring. W. L. Lester and

Swimming, diving and other sports also

which seems to be omnipresent. with
boomers so common that they cease to
cause comment.
