On Coronado Beach.
One place at San Diego which every
visitor looks forward to seeing, and of
which he has for years heard the
praises sounded, is the famous Hotel
Coronado and Coronado Beach. These
are located upon a narrow peninsula
between the city and Point Iona, and
il is surely a charming place. 1t over

balconies on the west and south, and
one can there find all the luxury he
feels able to pay for. 1t is reached by
ferry and connecting street cars, which
run at very frequent intervals. During

Bidding San Diego Goodbye.
We babe goodbye to San Diego a
few days ago and returned by auto to
Los Angeles, a distance of $50 miles
