GAYETY At DEL MONTE,
Walter Hobart Leads a Charge
Against the Frigidity of
Burlingame.
Mirth and Good Humor Now Prevail
Where Before Was Conven.
tional Iciness.

DEL MONTE, CAL, Aug. 2s.-1t has
been decreed that no more shall Burlin-
game be bedecked with icicIes here at Del
Monte, and every one seems waking up
and m Getting the emergency grandly. The
beautifully illuminated grounds have at
last attracted the notice of the guests OF
the hotel and gained well.deserved praise,
and the inhabitants of neighboring towns
were not the only persons who enjoyed
their charming arrangement To young
Walter Hobart is largely due the change
in the social atmosphere, for his vigorous.
jovial personality makes its effect appar-
ent upon those he meets. He laughs and
the world-as represented at Del Monte
is laughing with him and is happy.
Ed Greenway came down last night, the
first of the old-timers to give Burlingame
the sanction of his presence. Burlingame
should be duly grateful.
Music divides the hours with light this
year. for what with Huber's orchestra and
Cassasa's band, not to mention the sono-
rous tones emitted from Hobart's tallyho
bugle, the air is full of sweet sounds both
day and night.
Nine. Modjeska, the distinguished act
ress. and her husband, Count Charles Bo-
zenta Chtapowski, will arrive tomorrow,
and though still much of an invalid, the
famous tragedy queen will greatly enjoy
the closing events of the meet.
