sonaI Notes

the day set for the excursion to this
place, and il the rain god takes day
off we ought to have several hundred
sightseers here. Everything that could
be expected in providing for the visit
ors has been done, and If the weather
is propitious our visitors will have no
cause for complaint. The pavilion on
the beach will be reserved for dancing,
splendid orchestra of home talent
furnishing the music. Conveyances in
charge Of I. L. Fetterman and Charles
H. Thornburg will be in readiness to
take all who choose to go to the top of
Signal hill, whence one of the grandest
views on the planet may be had. The
drive going and returning will lead
through lovely young orchards of fruit
trees, deciduous and citrus; past cosy,
comfortable homes and down to the
edge of the ocean, where, for stretch
OF eight or nine miles, drive on a
beach, the most perfect natural boule-
ward in the world, will end the day.
