AT THE HOTELS

If all the noses could be counted of
persons who arrived on incoming
trains yesterday, it is more than prob
able that they would out-number the
arrivals of any other day this winter
season, with the exception of the one
day last week when arrivals were
swelled by scores of teachers and edu-
Gators who came to the Los Angeles
county teachers institute.
Among the leading hotels of the city
there was not one of them that did
not show nearly two pages of arrivals,
This is taken as an indication, or ra-
ther as a proof Of a prediction made
some days ago, that this season will
prove to be the best in the city's his
tory, and that the arrivals of yester-
day were only an advance guard of
the thousands to come during the next
few months.
