Berthier of San ¥, cisco and Hon. Jobn Hunter of Gilroy SUNDAY, AUGUST 23, 1896 LI AL SCENE AT A CALIFORNIA SUMMER RESORT. listened to by a large crowd, including the many guests at the hotel and many leading citigens from the surrounding towns.

SANTA MONICA ELABORATE PREPARATIONS FOR THE SouTHERN TENNIs TOUR- NAMENT. The eleventh annual tournament of the Southern California Lawn Tennis Association which commences at Santa Monica, Cal., Mon- day, August 24, at 2 o’clock, wilt undoubtedly be one of the most interesting of the associa- tion tournaments. The events will be all comers’ singles, all comers’ doubles, mixed doubles and ladies’ singles. The time for the closing of entries in the all comers’ singles has been fixed for Mon- dayat2P. M., with play commencing imme- diately thereafter. The other events will be posted from time to time on the association bulletin boards. The tournament will be played on the courts of the Casino, which have been completely overhauled and repaired, the one immediately in front of the grand stand being entirely re- laid with cement and made the finest coui in the State by long odds, so the experts claim ‘who have seen it. Almost every town In Southern California from Santa Barbara to the southern line will pe represented with especiaily strong dele- gatious from Riverside, Pasadens, Los Angeles and Santa Monics, The sectional rivalry has already become in- tense, with Pasadena backing Messrs. Pitcher and Freeman, Los Angeles ArttBumiller, the present champion, Mr. Welcolm and A. C. Way. Santa Barbara has W. Alexander to_be proud of and Santa Monica Messrs, D. D. Acker and W. E. Lester, who says he is going to win one of the cups for charming iittie Miss Lester. It looks like a close race in the all comers’ singles between Pitcher, Freeman, Alexander and Lester as to .who will endeavor to wrest the championship from the well-known Stan- ford athlete, Art Bumiller. Whoever he will be, he will have to play & remarkably good game to defeat the champion, for not only is he the quintessence of agility and grace, but .the personification of coolness,level-headedness and boasts exceeding accuracy. He plays a strong net game, with ability to head off lob- bing tactics. In the doubles Pitcher and Freeman, who have won the cups twice and will have to de- fend them this time again, will undoubtedly have strong opposition. If they succeed the cups become thelr personal property. In the ladies’ singles Miss Marion Jones, the charming daughter of Senator J. P. Jones, who last year carried away the State champion- ship and has twice won it in succession in the South, will in all pmbnbi%ity win it again. However, if Miss Grace Gilliland of Riverside enters the event it will make & match between the ladies worth & journey from the Golden Gate to witness. They both play a strong, graceful ame, have command of a super net game and altogetherplay tennis of a high order of merit. Miss Barlow-Massaes of England, whols visit- ln%:lerslwer, Mrs. Pedley, who is summering at Santa Monica, has the relpnuuon of beinga good tennis player and will probably compete with the others mentioped. In the mixed doubles Mrs, W. E. Lester and winners, There will be at least thirty players contest- ing with probably ten additional by com- mencement of play. A grand ball will be the chief social feature of the tournament. el BARTLETT SPRINGS. Mrs. H. G.
