Launch engines worked beautifully, but
auto tires and engines had an off day
One machine, more fortunate than 9TH

Those who were fortunate enough to
go from San Pedro In the small
launches probably had more real fun
than any other sightseers. These swift
and saucy boats carried their cargoes
of brave youths and dimpled maidens
right under the guns and glasses on the
big ships.
Few of the electric cars, designed to
seat about fifty persons, carried less
than 100 passengers. One car to San
Pedro had on board 1853. "a returning
car from the same point brought back
to Los Angeles 10 passengers, not
counting the hurricane deck load.

invisible from the ships.
outside the sea was as smooth as the
harbor. AT first a long swell raised and
lowered the ships in the water, but
within an hour this had disappeared
and the fleet plowed forward upon q
sea that scarcely rippled. AS the sea
rose higher the mist was dissipated and
the shore came out in bright vivid hues.
The rugged hills were covered with a
carpet of green, brown and burnt sum-
mits here and there marking the alb
Sence of moisture. Orchards and culti-
waited fields dotted the landscape.
Occasionally farmhouse appeared,
the occupants, outside, gazing silently
at the fleet as 1t crept by. Miles in the
interior, high above the gradually
sloping coast hills, rose the loftier peaks
of the Coast range. the tops covered
with perpetual snow. Sailors crowded
the rail of each ship. scanning the
changing scenes on shore. A north
bound passenger train with two en-
gines and ten coaches came out be-
tween the hills and for two hours ran
along the coast parallel with the fleet
Gradually it passed and drew away
from the ships and was lost to sight
again.
The speed of ten knots was main
tanned up to II o'clock, when the flag
ship signaled to increase the speed to

surged forward under increased pres

as the boilers ate up the coal. 1t

vessels in the rear were almost OBJ
scured from view For three hours

PARIS NEWSPAPER SAYS
PRINCE AND NINE. GOULD
MARRIED IN GERMANY
Consent OF Heiress' Relatives Gained
Only After They Were Informed
Wedding Had Taken
Place
By Associated Press.

By Associated Press.
PARIS, Apri- 1S.-The Cri de Paris,
which processes to chronicle the doings
of the fashionable set of Paris, insists
in its issue today that the marriage of
Nine. Anna Gould, formerly the wife
of Count Boni de Castellane, and Prince
Helie de Sagan, already has taken
place. The paper announced some time
ago that his marriage has been cele-
hrated secretly in Germany. Today 1t
says
1--WE are now in a position to complete
our information. This marriage was
celebrated secretly in a little town on
our eastern frontier. When in New
York Nine Gould informed her family
that her wedding already was an ac-
complished fact, and this is why the
members of her family so quickly as
sented We would add that for certain
legal reasons which delicacy prevents
us from divulging, this marriage can
be broken This possibly greatly con-
soles the families which have been so
crushed by the marriage, but we hope
that they will not by any rude process
trouble the happiness of the young
couple who during their sojourn in New
York were so much together"
Continuing, the paper adds that Nine.
Gould has resolved irrevocably to for
get the past. She is selling out her
celebrated wine cellar, a merchant of
Bordeaux having already purchased
SIG, 900 worth of her stock.
