PASADENA, Aug. 9.-The school trus-
tees held their regular weekly meeting
this morning at the Wilson school
building, Messrs. Masters, Buchanan
and Boynton being present.
The principal business before the
board was the report of the financial
condition of the district for the year
ending June 30th.
Bids were authorized to be received
for school supplies for the coming year,
and the matter of repsinting the roof OF
Wilson school was considered.
The financial report shows total OF
$2S, ,187.6S drawn on all, except the
high school and library funds, and that
warrants were paid and the same to
the amount of $40, ,46S 66, with a
balance of cents to the credit of the
district on July let. This leaves war
rants to the amount OF $7719 unpaid on
July Ist. a which time request for an
additional tax of $4,000 was made.
Mr.. Boynton estimates that the ex-
penses of the schools for the coming year,
based on the same number of scholars
attending as last, will be $4181 less.
This is very good showing, and if car
ried out by the board will entitle them
to much credit.

Winston and F. R. Harris, OF Pasadena

in the canon is much. lower than usual
at this time OF the year, and conse-
quently trout fishing is not very good.

to Mount Islip, thence to Mount Water

and also Tom Lucas and party of
prospectors. Mr.. Lucas is the gentle
man who killed 1200-poand grizzly

LIBRARY TRUSTEES.
The public library trustees held q
meeting this afternoon at the library
building. Considerable business came
before the board. 1t was thought best
to postpone the opening of the library
as free institution until September 1st,
when everything will be in readiness.
Miss Packard was appointed assistant
libi arian, and Mrs. Merritt was given a
leave of absence, which che will inn
prove by taking an outing at atCatalina.
SPANISH OPERA.
The performance of Boccaccio by the
Spanish Opera company at the opera
house, last evening, was one of the besi
performances that this place has ever
been favored with. 1t is to be regretted
that larger audience could not have
been present. The chorus work was
especially good, and the ballet between
acts came in for good share of ap-
plause. Although the opera was given
in Spanish, the interest never seemed
to flag, and the performance went of
with dash and vim that is lacking in
many more pretentious company.
