The first visit ot the Santa Monica lodge to this city was made last July, when a programme was carried oilt in honor of tho initial visit in a manner long to be remembered. It was expected that several hundred Elks from the coast city would make tho trip again this year, and arrangements wero accordingly made by both lodges. However, How-ever, the Long Beach and coast resorts have opened much earlier than usual and as a large number of tho coast Elks are obliged to look after buslnoss during the pleasure season, they have been precluded pre-cluded from joining their friends. It Is expected that between thirty and forty will represent the Santa Monica lodge upon this occasion. A number of prominent Elks from tho coast arrived last evening and roglstcred at the homo of the local lodge. They are John A. Morton, past exalted ruler of the Santa Monica lodge; Frank A.
