Yesterday was gala day for both
Santa Monica and the III. NJ. M. B. A.,
the members of which, at least great
majority of them, had never before seen
the Pacific ocean. The morning was
perfect, and was greeted with exclam-
ations of rapture by representatives of
the east, north and south. During the
forenoon the ladies were taken in car
riages for drive about this beautiful
seaside resort, while the gentlemen
strolled at their pleasure. The beach.
the plunge baths, the beautiful gardens
were each sources of attraction and
pleasure. At 12 o'clock the barbecue
was served in true Spanish style. There
were whole roasts of beeves, beef
spitted and broiled over open fires, the
whole seasoned with chile sauce and
served with bread 1t was quite
novelty to most of the eastern hotel
people, who took much interest in not
ing the method of preparation and
roasting,
Early in the afternoon there was a
Spanish tournament. Just previous to
the tourney, however, the school child
rem of the city, led by the hotel band,
passed in review before the grand stand.
They were bedecked with flowers and
also carried boquets, which at a precon-
certed signal they threw to the seated
visitors. 1t was a genuine surprise,
and drew forth cheers from the pleased
hotel men and their ladies.
Then followed4the tournament-tilt-
ing at suspended rings while at full
run, riding bucking bronchos, van
queros lassoing wild horses and mount
ed horsemen picking up handkerchiefs
and coins while their steeds were at q
mad gallop.
AT 4:3O o'clock the long delayed Col
orado delegation arrived. They were
met by the band and officers of the H.
M. M. B. A, and as they approached the
Hotel Arcadia were received with a
perfect ovation of cheers, followed by
hearty handshake.
Mine host Simon Reinhart of the Ar
cadia and his estimable wife have done
done much to make the stay of the hotel
men pleasant, and will long be remem-
bered by them for their many kind
nesses.
In the evening the north beach bath
house was filled with the bonifaces of
the east, to witness an aquatic enter
tainment of very interesting charac-
ter, and many of the hotel men and
their fair companions also sported in
the gTeat plunge. There was second
dance in the ball room of the Hotel Ar
cadia for the entertainment of those
who preferred to trip the light fantas-
tic. At II O'Clock the several specials,
united into two heavy trains of ten
sleepers. two dining cars and baggage
car, left for Santa Barbara to witness
the great battle of flowers. There were
fully four hundred people with the ex-
cursion.
