PASADENA.

Social Event.
PASADENA, Oct. 22.-The first rain OF
the season started in here at about 4
o'clock this morning, and has continued
off and on ever since.
Although indications have been good
for downfall for some time past the
sprinkle came in the nature OF sur
prise to many and will cause some
slight damage to dried fruit. although
most OF the fruit is packed before this
time. Raisins will suffer the most, but
the bulk Of this crop has been cured.
Early rieers saw busy sight on Colo
rado street where the paving people
were, rushing around getting their
Portland cement which is being used on
the streets In out OF the wet. By prompt
action, however, but little damage was
done. f
The rain, however, If it continues,
will seriously interfere with the work OF
paving Colorado street, as it is impos-
Bible to lay the asphaltum when the
concrete base is wet, all OF which is
anything but pleasant for our Colorado
street merchants. who were devoutly
hoping for sudden finish.
At the hour OF writing the prospects
are good for wet night.
