men. women and children, and no one
spent a dull moment.
The men indulged in athletic ga
matrons visited ■ ich other under the
Shade of the trees, and '.ads and lassies
■whirled gracefully in the dizzy waits,
while younger folk romped and gam
boled on the greensward and through
the woods In true childish delight.

[Special to The Herald]
OCEAN PARK, July fi.—This beach
was the gathering place today of one
of the largest crowds in Its history.
The visitors streamed in from every
where. The large cement walks lead
ing from Santa Monica and Venice
Were constantly filled and resembled
huge multi-colored ribbons as the
people progressed in two ever-moving
streams.
Long lines of persons stormed the
bathhouie and awaited their turn for
lathing suits and a bath In the ocean.
Sweating attendants strained every
nerve to attend to the wants of the
throng and passed out Clothing and
towels until, exhausted, they fell back
and were replaced by others.
As far as can lie ascertained, thore
were no accidents nor near drownings—
Just rational fun and merriment. What
firecrackers that wore shot were
ti uched off on the sand, where they
did damage to neither persona nor
property.
Pier avenue, early in the day, re
sembled a huge garage, beautifully
decorated machines lining both sides of
the thoroughfare The plaza, where
the band concert! were given, were
practically Impassable from a pedes
trian standpoint, thousands occupy
ing the benches from early morning
until late at night.
Long before the main crowd began
to arrive the dancing pavilion was
impossible to enter, being packed to
Its utmost rapacity.
The evening illumination attracted
tlii' attention of many, The pavilions
were lined with incandescent lights,
which threw their splendor over all,
while In the distance the magnificent;
lighting of the Venice pier and build-1
ings, with the ship hotel for a back
ground, was well worth seeing. In the j
dim distance the lights of Redondo
Beach stood out in relief against the
darkness of the night, while at various
point! along the beach a roman candle
or skyrocket split the darkness with
many colored balls of tire.
