Saving ntation was a splendid affair and
was attended by about ono hundred peo

tho enjoyable, after which an exhibi
tion beach drill was in order. Thin crow
of life-savors aro about as well drilled us
any on tho Pacific and under the cap
taincy of Norman Noltou, criticism Is
out of thu initiation. Everything about
tho institution is in applcplu ordor at all
times, and tho unbounded hospitality of
Captain Nelron and his crew makes It n
pleasure indeed for visitors.
After tho beach drill n surf drill ex
hibition was given which was vary en
joynble and showed to the catijfnction
of all tho wonderful capabilities and of a
modern life boat, and indeed It imbues
ono with a guarantee that should a

to savo.
