PACIFIC GROVE.
Scenes Along the Beach There and
Other Matters.
Pacific Grove, July !

Pacific Grove, July l4th-
Still they come, and still they go,
and there's more to follow Mr.. and
Mrs. George H. Clark and daughter,
Mr.. and Mrs. Barker, Mrs. Elwood
Bruner and four daughters, Mrs. o. P.
Willis, Emeline Willis and Mr.. and Mrs.
Charles Lenoir and son are some of the
Sacramento folks I've met this past
week. Some of the old Sacramento res
ldents who live here now and who well
come all Sacramento folks as friends
are Mrs. F. Hamilton (nee Cole), Mr..
and Mrs. s. p. Omstead, Mr.. Ragland,
DR.. and Mrs Haight, Mrs. Holeman
(nee PipeD and many others.
This is a place where many of the
Sacramento and Stockton people spend
their vacations. Mr.. and Mrs. A. H.
Wright, Mrs. Littlehole, Mrs. Otto
Trunskey and three children, and the
two Misses lGrunskey are here from
Stockton; j. E. Crooks wife and daugh-
ter Ethel and Matte Steavens of Hay
wards are stopping here for a month.
From Vallejo. Mrs. w. G. Saunders and
daughter Lotta, Mrs. Avidson, Mrs.
Morton and Miss Inez Morton.
The weather is something grand
morning and bright afternoons, with
plenty of cool breezes. A trip to Chau
tauqua Beach and Rice Beach on Tues
day, with party of thirteen, proved
most enjoyable affair in spite of our
numbers. The beautiful little shells of
all designations one can find keep peo-
pie for hours at work, and they never
discover they are tired until they reach
home.
Wednesday a party of ten went TO
Macaby, or New Monterey Beach. This
is the loveliest beach of all. 1t is
much larger and kept much cleaner
than the "cove" at the grove Here
We found crowds of bathers going III all
the time we stayed. The beach is a
sandy one, and all round are little
canvas covers, about sixteen feet long,
put up over good big logs, and MAKE
fine places to sit and watch the bath
ers. We lunched and got home in
time for the patriotic lecture at 3 p.
m. for the Red Cross of the NJ Z.
Church.
On Tuesday, the 18th, the assembly
opened by an interesting lecture on
cooking by Miss Whitaker It was
we'll attended, and. would you believe
tions. In the evening a concert by the
Knickerbocker Concert Company, the
Nordica trio of San Jose, Miss Nellie
L. Shipley, cornetist; Miss Beresford
Joy, contralto, and Miss Luse, reader.
The quartet were in fine voice and all
their numbers encored.
The readings of Miss Luse were very
fine, indeed. Miss Shipley's cornet solo,
Glen Island Waltzes." exquisite, and
when she played the Star Spangled
Banner for an encore the house rang
with applause. Miss Beresford Joy has
a fine contralto voice which has been
highly cultivated in Europe. Mrs. Mary
Weaver MCCauley's soprano is very
sweet, her ways are unaffected and she
captured the audience in her solo II
Dreamt," also in her whistling solo.
'PizZacati Polka" L. A. Larsen's bass
solo, "Clang of the Forge" was grand.
He has such a fine voice, and uses it
to perfection. 1t is a pleasure to hear
him sing. The piano solo by Rosco
Warren Lucy was very nice In fact,
a finer concert is seldom heard. Such
large crowds of people are seldom at
any gatherings in Sacramento. The
popular price-25 cents-may have
something to do with the numbers.
Still the churches are all crowded.
Sunday morning chairs. were put in the
aisles of the Episcopal Church, and in
the evening assembly hall in the NJ. E.
Church filled to hear Rev. Heacock.
The Sabbath is such a quiet, peaceful
day here, all the stores and restaurants
closed. no bathing, no foot or baseball
games going on, all is quiet and as it
should be on every Sunday. A boy
said to his mother, why, mamma, I've
not seen a saloon or a drunk man
since / left home" She explained to
him that Pacific Grove is one spot on
earth where liquor is not sold; would
there We're more such places, is the
wish and desire of ALMA
