WATER RIGHTS DEFINED.

I am of the opinion that the property
in water depends upon, of course:
First.-Beneficial use; but l don't
think that beneficial use need be in a
person or his successor in interest who
appropriated the water, necessarily;
nor need it necessarily be upon the
lands for which the water was origi-
nally appropriated.
Second.-The property in water de-
pends upon the necessity; but as I I'M
derstand it, that necessity is not deter
mined by the various changes in the
weather or the climate; but that neces-
sity is determined at the inception of
the appropriation, and when that ne
cessity is once determined to the ex-
tent and nature of it, I think that that
becomes the perpetual appropriation of
that water: that thereafter the owner
of that property
CAN USE IT AS HE PLEASES,
and where he pleases But in this case
there is an additional feature, as far
as the testimony stands now. The tes-
timony shows that whatever was done
by these irrigators under the Central
canal, that it was done by and with the
consent and authority of the Riverdale
people. Were it not for that, l doubt
whether l should hold the Riverdale
people here at all, but it was done with
their consent, as far as the testimony
shows now, and I think exclusively
shows that a great amount of water
was taken out of the Weber river at
the point where they attempted to di-
vert the water that they borrowed from
Riverdale than The actual amount that
flowed in the Riverdale canal-even
granting the largest amount that they
claim. sos that, as to the Hooper. at
least, I think the defendants would
have to defend the action

MANHATTAN BEACH OPENS.
sousA GIVES HIS FIRST CONCERT OF THE SEA
SON, AND PAIN SHOWS THE WAR
IN THE EAST


Manhattan Beach has started prosperously on the
twentieth year of its history. This famous water
ing-place which at present entcrtans more than
ten million visitors during the summer had a
modest beginning when Its first hotel was opened
on July l. 1877. In the following year Dodsworths
eth Regiment Band, composed OF fifteen instru-
ments was engaged to entertain the hotel guests.
That was the inception of the most popular sum-
mer amusement in the country In 1880 the she'll
was built In which for many years Patrick Sarsfied
Gilmore's military band gave concerts. On the
death OF Mr. Gilmore, John Philip Sousa took his
place as the leader Of the orchestra. and the
March King" has since remained in melodc
possession OF Manhattan Beach and OF the applause
OF Its audiences.
The theatre was opened three years ago by r.
+. Rice and his company In 1872" This unique
playhouse cost s35,0OO and It holds 1900 people, a
seating capacity which will often be taxed In the
coming OF De Wolf Hopper and his COM
pany IN Eel Captain" In this. as In other amuse-
ment places. Manhattan Beach has made ample
provision for It's visitors. Pains fireworks arena
pacty for 1900 and the bathing pavilion take
care OF 1000 bathers day.
Ii costs Pain over SlOO every season to give his
fireworks displays but his receipts often amount
to 5000 a night The expenses Of the comic opera
company at the theatre amount to about $3.50 a
week but IN Its short season, the theatre averages
spent an enormous amount OF money In completely
equpping Manhattan Beach for the summer en-
tertainment of Greater New-York, but his estate
realizes that the investment was judCiOus.
The season was begun yesterday afternoon by a
Sousa concert. and in the evening Pain introduced
