SUMMER VISITS ARE ENDED
Ind People Are FlOCkins Back to Their
Homes
Closing Scenes Among the Saora-
mentans at Pacific
Grove.

The Capital City is drawing on the
Sacramento visitors at Pacific Grove like
u powerful magnet just now. A few
more days like the last three will make
IL quite lonesome down there, and new
visitors will find all the quiet they
could desire.
Neptune'S allurementS, the pleasures
of the drive, and even the big wreck
Of the ST. Paul have lost their attrac-
lions for US, writes a Sacramento lady
now there. We are thinking of fleet
racers. swift trotters, stock parades
and exhibits of the skill and industry
c. the people of the Golden State, which
are to be the attractions at Sacramento
next week. Those not leaving with an
eye single to the State Fair are politi-
clans who have been recuperating and
gaining renewed vigor with which to
enter the campaign.
However, the cottages which Sacra-
mentans are vacating are already be-
Ing filled with ministers and laymen
who are daily arriving, with the pur-
pCse of attending the Methodist Con-
ference, which convenes here this week
Many people throughout the State will
take advantage Of the reduced passen-
ger rates and attend the conference.
We never discovered until last week
bow much the Record Union" was a
part of we Capital City folks. No
papers, for some reason, came on Mon
day, August Oath, and each one of us
made a visit to the other for the pur-
pose of borrowing a paper, but not one
had been received. We were all sorely
disappointed, and could not be COM
forted until another mail brought Tues
days paper.
John Clauss and family left the Grove
some days ago. John not only got sea-
Eick, but homesick likewise.
Mrs. Swanson and children and Mrs.
John McCauslin and William Curtis
and family also left last Saturday.
Sparrow Smith, Judge Mayhem and
wife, Clinton White, D. McKinnon,
Supervisor Curtis, Miss Cutter, James
I. ellis and wife and others also left
for the Capital some days ago.
Mrs. DR.. Fay and children and n.
Clark and family are preparing for
their early departure at this writing.
NJ. NJ Harding, wife and sons will
return tomorrow. Mr.. Harding de-
clares he can't find any more silverites
10 convert to the gold standard, and
he wants to get back to the Capital,
where there are more persons cropping
in the dark.
Miss DR.. Cronemiller and DR.. G. A.
White and family came down recently
.for a few weeks rest and recreation.
Rev. w. c. Sherman joined his fam
ily here this week and will enjoy a
weeks rest

Club at the Del Monte are the topic of
the hour, and vehicles and street cars
are full of people every day now who
are going over to see the polo grounds
and paper chase" There is nothing
lacking in the paper chase" except the
real fox and hounds, and that takes
about all the fun out Of it,
A grand ball was given at the Del
Monte on Thursday night last at which
number of Sacramento people were
present. The grounds were beautifully
Illuminated with electric lights and
japanese lanterns.
The most unpleasant thing about Pa
cif1c Grove is the street cars. It is aw-
fully tiresome to the average Sacra-
mentan to ride in a horse car. All of us
prefer to walk, but the distances are
against US.
Speaking of walking, it would be in
place to chronicle the fact that Miss
Richards and Miss Voglesang hold the
championship for long-distance walk
ing. With an escort they left their cot
tage at 3 o'clock one morning last week
and made the entire round of the Sew
enteen-Mil drive on foot by 4 D. m.
Oh, it was only pleasure jaunt!" they
said.
several sacramento wheelmen are out
ten dollars in the coin of the realm for
hiking on the sidewalks Bicycle riders
are forbidden the privilege of the drives
also. They have the sand and the sea
left, however.
II Is quite the thing to get weighed
now. There has been a large gain In
the avoirdupois Of Sacramento Dur
ing the past month We all gained
from five TO twenty pounds each.
mere are many things here a visitor
never forgets. and which are character
lstic of Pacific Grove Among them the
native grove Of Monterey cypress. the
dense coast forest, the masterpiece Of
the landscape gardener. at Del Monte
ana the spouting whales in Monterey
Say. There is one other. for who will

oIueJays as they gather in the branches
