our bread by the sweat of our brow During Dur-ing the day wmy young companions and Ihued a buggy > nd following a party of our own crowd who have a driver and guider we spin around the circular sixteenmile drive eleven of it along the beach of the Pacific ocean and through groves almost unscathed by the axtrue a few small villages vil-lages Bre built among the trees here and there I must put a stop to my gushing gush But really the way one is treated to glimpses of ooean view with waves rocks seals beach groves etc alternately along the whole rout is like an artificially arranged sixteenmile bath in blissful sensations to the lover of natures beauties It was only excelled in grandeur by the Columbia River scenery and to maKeup maKe-up for its lack here we can feel as well as gaze alight and run along the beach gathering shells and dipping in the waves or gather pine apples in the grove or cull the flowers and cut branches of cypress at our pleasure Monterey City is not much a few old tumbledown places and a number of unpretentious cottages and shanties the great hotel swallows everything up in its own magnificance SAN FBAJCISCO to the man whose ideal of a city is Salt Lake City is nothing short of wonderful wonder-ful to one who has seen New York Chicago Boston or any goodsized city with waterways to admit ships as well as locomotives it is simply a wide awake ordinary city A mass of buildings build-ings a network of streets over and between be-tween numerous sand hills all alive with street cars cable cars carts busses and pedestrians the number num-ber of the latter in the business parts of town greatly augmented at present by the few thousand schoolteachers school-teachers visiting the place as about every other person we meet wears the badge of the N E A The few green spots in this city are genuine attractions attrac-tions Such are Woodwards Gardens the Golden Gate Park and Sutro Heights The latter is well filled with fine fitaluary and is perhaps the most attractive spot of any mentioned The cemeteries are nice but do not compare with many in the east The docks and shipping are interesting to landlubber land-lubber and it must be admitted that the bay is a fine seaport and many uuu attractive are the great ships and steamers from every part of the world which nestle on its surface THE PALACE II TEL I takes the lead in tho way of interesting buildings it is said to be the largest in the world The places of amusement are fairly interest ng though it is doubtful if any of their theatres excel our own in all around attractions and usefulness Show i well known to Salt Lake held the boards of some The one really excellent piece and too far ahead of any others presented there at present pres-ent to be compared with them is The Wife as played at the Baldwin Theatre The-atre by the New York Lyceum Company Com-pany It is a pay of the Bankers Daughter stamp and as rendered by these artists is a masterpiece of tnat school of drama I sincerely trust Salt Late will bo favored At the Tlvoli was a homemade comic opera It was quite attractive and good us such At the Bush Street Theatre was the Two Johns a mighty pieceof desk only Two fat men and a very indifferent t company try and every once in a while succeed to make pen pie laugh at their clumsy ellorts to repredtnt nothing in particular Soap Bubble was having a good go at the Alacszar and the Cattle King was the funny piece at the California It is very interesting to study the audiences and character of shows to be found afc these various places of amusement amuse-ment It is easy her for an observant person very soon to be able to decide what grade a piece dramatical or musical mus-ical should belong to Would that our theatres were not obliged to present its patrons with such a variety Many of the pieces our moral young men take their pure young ladies to witness would here not be expected to amuse that class of people but rather be a sort of mixture in with beer tobacco to-bacco wIDe etc to help another class of people to while the hours away BETWEEN THE ACTS I ofthe comic operaeven one5 would bev choked with tobacco smoke yet it was a respectable audience compared to some others That at the Baldwin was a model such as Salt Lake often witnesses and the fleet was asele vaunt as that at some of the others was debasing Cbtnatvwn is the attractiod thateery stranger
