PLANS FOR SEAL GARDENS
Twenty-one Acres to Be Converted
Into Great Amusement Park by
the Lion=SeaI Company

Los Angeles is soon to have q much
needed amusement park, which will be
first-class in every particular. Seal gar
dens will be the name of the park the
proposed location of which is situated
on the Pacific Electric beach lines, four
teen minutes ride from Sixth and
Main streets. The Lion-Seal company
has secured twenty-one acres, which
will be fenced and equipped with the
highest class of attractions and devices
to amuse a pleasure-loving people who
reside in and around Los Angeles. The
management intends to make this the
finest and most up-to-date place of
amusement in the state. Seal gardens
will be beautified with lawns, flowers
and various species of tropical plants
and trees. The improvements will con-
sist of bicycle track, with a seating
capacity of 5000; an ice skating pa
vilion, capacity 1000; a modern dance
pavilion to accommodate 2500 and a
first-class bath house with a capacity of
$500 A first-class baseball and foot
ball ground will also be constructed
with a seating capacity of about 10000.
1t is also proposed to reserve eight
acres for circuses and other large at
fractions. Play grounds for children
and a beautiful picnic grove will also
add to the many other facilities for
an enjoyable time to be passed at the
Seal gardens. Seal gardens will be one
of the great points of interest for auto
mobile tourists.

the coming summer season. 1t is cur
rently reported that the Clark-Sher-
man interest in the Los Angeles-P Pacific
has been secured by Mr.. Hartman,
and one thing that gives color to the
report is that the fare from Los An
geles to Ocean Park and Santa Monica
will on April be reduced to 121a cents
for commuters. If this is true, 1T plain
ly shows that others than Clark and
Sherman control the policy Of this road.
An enthusiastic meeting of the peo-
pie of Ocean Park and Santa Monica
was held in the casino at Pier avenue
last Thursday night and many speeches
by prominent citizens showed that the
sections were awake to the fact that
perfect unison of action was the only
road for them to travel, and steps were
taken at once to begin campaign OF

extending from Playa del Rey to the
