MANY KITTENS BEING R,OUNDED UP FOR BIG CONCAT AT ARCII BEACII, SEPT.9

"All eyes are turned toward Arch Beach, where the big- gest Hoo-Hoo concat of recent years will be pulled ofr on Saturday, September 9."

This 'stereotyped expression of the old timey country n_ewspaper is about the most adequate means of describing the circumstances surrounding the forthcoming gathering in which all Southern California cats will join. -

The way the boys are falling over each other to make reservations indicates that but few members will be absent when the Great Black Cat once again assumes dominion over his realm.

And it is going to be a sad day for those 1nor, unfortunates who cannot make the grad.e and partake of the fun; for the committee has a daring, dazzling and diverting entertainment in store. fn fact, the social features are going to be the strongest card of the session.

As the women and ehildren wilt go along, dancing, nusic and vaudeville entertainment will be among the attiactions. Nearly eyeryone is preparing to make it a two-day, outing -Saturday and Sunday. But those who cannot siay over Sunday will have plenty of fun Saturday night.

They hacl a claSs of 68 kittens at a recent concat in Tacoma and it is a good bet that the class at this concat will be almost as big.

All members are urged to turn in their names of prospective kittens to B. W. Bookstaver, 730 Van Nuys Building, J-;os Angeles.

From San Diego and from various points in Orange county come reports that big groups of stray kittenF are being rounded up and that enthusiastic delegations of dats will join !n th9 palty. Los Angeles, of course, and other points in fros Angeles county, will send scores of cats and fittens.

Arch Beach is well equipped to take care of the crowd. The tavern is large and has just been remod.eled.. It wiil accommodate the entire party, but reservations should be made in advance. A gootl automobile road makes it easily accessible or it can be reached. by stage from Santa Ana.
