CALIFORNIA.
Lou Angeles, Cat., Feb. 20.
Upon our arrival at this famous south
ern resort (after a quick trip on the new
train, The Owl) we immediately made
ourselves comfortablo in a Bunny cornor
ot Bollevue Terrace. Tb'iB long lino ot
turrsted buildings, surrounded by
smooth lawns an1 gardens of great
beauty, occupies a prominent corner of
the city, yet is so located that its quint
and natural beauty enable noe to feel
quito suburban.
One of our first trips was a trolley car
ride ot forty two mile?, during which we
saw Paeadena, Sn Gabriel mission and
winery, "Lucky" Baldwin's ranch of
50,000 acres and the famous ostrich
farm. Pasadena, the nrietocratic suburb
of Los Angeles, boasts of somo of the
hitndBom-trit homes to ba found in Caii
fo.nia, an I th ir beuutiful efTout is un
broken, owing to tbe small mi m lor of
sho;B.
In almost tll tl.ojod C .liforniu coun
try hmies there is ti -h, the vny lung
drive between htdg'H or tuilittnt bor
ders. The lawn is kept hh Finooth hb a
drawing room ciupet, reminding one
constantly ot that familiar simile. Both
within Bnd without the green houses h
what seems to ub a perfect paradise of
flowers, and tho palms of the gardon are
almost tropical. One of California's
great pleasures is the suburban life, and
no one can picturo its charm, The
beauty of tho houses with thoir hand'
Eocno stablee and their parks, and their
clear little lakes on which tho swan sail,
or tho drives, the hunt, the "paper
chaeV' the golfing and the po!o; with
out viewing ail these intimately.
.Baldwin's famous Santa Anita ranch
furnished us with much to murvel at.
Its broad acres lie in the midst of tho
ideal valley of San Gabriel. Tho bril
liancy of tbe vast orange groves, tbe
werlth of wonderful flowers, tho miles of
tnagnliicont avenues, were delightful to
see from tho top of our rumbling coach
on a day like early Juno ut home,
Tho wiso tourist will not loavo Cali
fornia without inspecting tho ostrich
farm noar Pfleoduna. Tho entrance is
through tho salesroom, where aro ex
hibited ubowildoring profusion of foath
orB in evory form, from tho plume to tho
elegant full capo or boa, ull to bo had at
a roducod figure. On tho grounds ron
dored beuutiful liko moBt California
grounds, by tho landscapo gardener's
skillful iiBoof its natural charniB one is
shown tho birda in ovory ago and con
dition, from tho toddling babies up to
tho mugnificont adults, the mothers
strutting in jealous alarm about tho
curious noxts with thoir onormoiiB eggs.
It was mo3t interesting to oomo foc9 to
fHce, at lust, with the groat bird to which
comfort, beauty and fashion owo so
much. Tho ostrich was imparted into
this stato twolvo years ago, during which
time tho industry has steadily thrived.
IncubutorB aro now largely used.
How we did enjoy waudoring among
tho ruins of the missions, observing the
signs of tho old Jesuits' religious devo
tion. One of tho most famous of these
century-old Pacific coast missions iB San
Gabriel Archangol, nino miles from Lob
Angeles. Tho purity of its long lines
and low pillard urches is at once inspir
ing and effective. Many of the most ar
tistic homos hore aro no built in this
samo low mission Btylo, even to tho con
tral court and tbo gallery.
Ab everybody knows there was little to
teach thoso old Spanish padreB about
the making of brandy and sweot wines.
Tho art brought with thom from Bunny
Spain was put into uso at once, but of
the orig'nal twenty-two wineries, only
two have kept up the industry; tho mis
sions now are monuments ot a past age.
Tho church of San Gabriel being built
of stone mostly, has nobly resented the
efforts of time, but many years ago rev
oral thousands of its valuable acres wero
sold to J. de Barth Sbarb, who continued
and enlarged tho wine industry thereon.
It was this very ranch that inspired ono
of our most bo-iutiful American storieB,
Ramona, and in this sumo beautiful val
ley is found tbe original Ramona cot
tage. Many do not know that tho gen
tle Indian maiden of the storv was
named after one of Sharb's daughters.
We bave enjoyed tho horso show very
greatly, but as thia institution is no
Bpecial peculiarity of California, I shall
not intrude a description of either horses
or people.
