They're Off"
At o'clock yesterday afternoon the
good ship President left Redondo. and
on board, bound for the Golden Gate,
was a party of twenty-five, consisting
of the happy winners of the two
Alaska -Yullon-P Pacific contests, recent
ly conducted by The Los Angeles Her
aid.
A large delegation Of friends and
well wishers gathered at Redondo pier
to speed the party on its long journey,
which, as arranged by The Herald,
will consist of a series of pleasures the
most important and the one looked
forward to with the most interest be-
ing the four-day sojourn at the Seattle
exposition.
1t was a happy party, imbued with a
eompanionable spirit, and as the mem
bers waved their final adieux, they one
and all sang the praises of The Los
Angeles Herald, for they realized that
it was through the enterprise and gem
erosity of The Herald that made pos
sible such a rare treat.
Delay Doesn't Dampen Fun
The steamship was delayed in start
ing from Redondo, but the happy voy-
ayers did not mind the delay, but
whiled away the time pleasantly in
jaunts about the popular city by the
sea.
The party left the corner of Second
and Spring streets at HE o'clock yes
terday morning, and with banners de-
noting the object of the journey, was
greeted with a vociferous welcome all
along the route. 1t was little short of
an ovation accorded the contest win
ners as they boarded the ship at Re
dondo.
The party is scheduled to arrive at
San Francisco at o'clock tonight and
will go direct to quarters, which have
been arranged for their reception at
the Hotel st. Francis.
For twenty-four hours the party will
have an opportunity of witnessing the
sights of the rejuvenated bay city and
tomorrow night will start on the long
sail to Seattle.
At Seattle the guests will be quar-
tered at the Hotel Butler Annex, and
after a brief rest will proceed to the
fair grounds.
Four Days at Seattle
Advance arrangements have been
made whereby the members of the
party will receive every courtesy, as
The Herald has provided that no in
convenience will mar the pleasure OF
