THE MAYBERRY DOMAIN.
After the train had passed by the NAM
moth Mayberry vineyard, attention was
directed to the large ranch owned by the
late Mr.. B. D. Wilson. Mr.. Wilson,
better known as Don Benito, was one of
the pioneer settlers of the San Gabriel,
and married Spanish lady rich in land
and lineage. To his daughter Mr.. J. De
Barth Shorb was united at the altar, and
from that time on the two men worked to-
gether and planted an immense acreage in
vines. Soon view was obtained of Mr..
Shorb's elegant mansion at San Marino,
which standing on the brow Of small
hill commands view of the rich country
around. At its feet lay a productive
vineyard and far away in the distance on
the other side of the track the walls Of
the old San Gabriel Mission could be
seen glistening with the reflection of the
suns rays as they poured down on field
and farm. The section which the train
was traversing was undoubtedly as rich
as any in America, or for the matter of
fact in the world. Orange trees planted
twenty years ago stood in massive groves
in every direction, in some cases being
so close to the track that
the windows OF the cars were
brushed by the evergreen leaves.
The effect when the golden fruit is hang
ing in clusters from the branches will be
superb, and the ride can well be called
one through the garden of the gods.
The Sunny Slope winery is a fine build
ing and stands in the midst of its fertile
resources, and after inspecting it one
turns instinctively to gaze upon the mag
ni6cent view which is to be seen to the
south. Stretching as far as the eye can
see, orchards and vineyards are ranked
in close file and pretty little houses offset
the larger residences and hotels, which
the wealth OF the inhabitants has pro-
duced. The train whizzed past Mr..
Chapman's place, noted for its prolific
plantation of English walnuts, and then
view was obtained of the Sierra Madre
| Villa, looking down in all its magni6cence
| from it's mountain home. Before Arcadia
was called large herd of cattle was seen
scampering away from the snorting iron
horse, and every one looked around on
the peerless Santa Anita as the train
pulled slowly by the Hotel Oakwood.
''There is Monrovia," was the general
exclamation minute later, and then the
scudding of the wheels was felt as the
brakes we're applied and the train reached
its terminus at the gem of the foothills.
