wherein the silver trophies were ar
ranged.
But everyone felt the disappoint-
ment of the fact that there was no
surf whatever, and thronged into the
Bonine Theater that evening to see
at least in a picture what the surfing
sports were like.
There was the usual immense
crowd at the steamer on Sunday at
O'Clock, to see the departure, at
which the band played.
