vantage of a special fare for a round
trip to the Hotel Del Monte, 125 miles
south Of San francisco.
Among the non-excursionists were
Mr.. and Mrs. NeWmark of Los Angeles,
H. M. Gray of Glasgow, Misses E. Grin
rod and G. Thorpe, of Manchester,
Eng, and E. Baron Morley, a well
known pianist who has been making a
