SANTA MONICA, July 5.-The ball,
or, perhaps, more correctly, the hop, at
the Arcadia last night was continued
into the small hours. Miss Scott, niece
OF Mrs. Arcadia de Baker, was assuredly
the belle of the occasion, and Col Brown
Oh Dayton. Ohio, a chivalrous old war
hero, was the beau. Though genial, he
Is dignified, and 1t Is to be hoped he will
forgive this liberty with his name. Col.
brown is general inspector of soldiers
homes.
One Of the pretty dancers of the even
ing was Miss Jamison, niece Of Mr.. j. A.
Muir. Little Miss Mercedes de Luna
charmed every one with her graceful
and artistic dancing. Mr. Courtland
Scott found the evening all too short
though he danced steadily till o'clock
Every one else feels that he did all that
could be expected of mortal man. Many
OF the young men who should have been
at the ball had the questionable taste to
go instead to 'smoker'at the -
club. The refreshments served in the
anteroom were delicious and the table
beautifully arranged.
yesterday company Of cavalry Of
twenty-six men, besides the officers,
came to Santa Monica for an outing,
and they are having a good time. The
officers are Lieut.. Thompson, Sergts.
Rowland, White and Solano, and Corp.

ing at Eckert G. Hopf's and today an

and Mr.. and Mrs. w. S. TeVis will have
dinner party with covers for eight, at
the same pavilion.
Mr.. H. ]. Woolacott went fishing this
morning and returned after q couple of
sides other fish.
Some foolish or malicious person
threw several large cannon crackers on
the fine lawn of the Arcadia, where they
exploded, tearing great holes in the
sward. That's hardly an effective way
to express patriotism.
Last evening Mr.. Wyatt of the Los
Angeles theater spent the evening here
and had supper at Eckert's with w. H.
Perry and Mr.. and Mrs. Modini Wood.

The one unhappy incident of the day
was the suicide of Max Martini, a.
young man of 80 years, who came down

ably about noon, and in the evening,
about half mile north of the Ninety
nine steps" on the beach, shot himself
through the heart, causing instant
