Lucky" Baldwin's Ranch and Mt
Lowe Visited.
Some Side Issues-Endeavors Made to
Have tho Boys Stay Longer-A
Ride Around the Kite
Shaped Track.

LII was diamonds TO dougnnuJs yeaIeI-
day morning whether or no the Chicago
newspaper guests would coneider that
there was clear sky.
The clouds cleared up before the two
tally-hos started from the Hollenbeck
hotel, SO that the speculative members
of the party could not get in their work.
The day was not typical day for our
eastern visitors, because there were
specks in the sky. Sometimes there are
none.
1t happened yesterday that no rain
fell, and the temperature was go warm
that no apologies were necessary.
At 8 O'Clock two four-in-hands were
filed by the visitors and their hosts, and
a start was made.
A drive was made through the San
Gabriel valley, and as the sun lit up the
mountains there were lights and shad-
ows to talk about.
Some people might think that Chi
cago, Cleveland and Pittsburg writers
can't talk about everyday mountains
when they see them. 1t is mistake.
And yet, it was only in asides that the
boys expressed the opinion. because
they hated to yield the field to Mr..
Bates, who is monopolist.
The party OF visitors from the east was
driven up to Mr. Baldwin's ranch, and
lunch WAS one of the events partici-
pated in at the Arcadia.
1t was enjoyed.
After a reasonable amount of time
spent upon the ranch the two tally hos
bore the visitors to Altsdena.
The Mt. Lowe railroad had special
train in waiting, and the ascent to Echo
mountain was made.
Not only the visitors from the east,
but the home people who had charge Of
them enjoyed the per cent trip.
There was disposition to make hair
raising remarks about the steepness of
the ascent, and the distance from abb
solution.
1t was noticeable, however, that the
representatives of the newspapers from
Chicago did not apologies for any
qnalms of conscience that should have
affected them.
On the top OF Echo mountain Mr..
Mosher blew such blast on tho tallyho
bugle that mountain lion sprang from
his lair-at come distance off-and Mr..
Seymour of Chicago endeavored to head
him off. 1t was an Intellectual attempt,
and if it had not been for a chance shot
from a 22-caliber revolver belonging to
Mr.. Bates of Cleveland, there might
have been trouble.
Aside from this incident the day,
spent in showing the visitors the sights,
was not more eventful than ordinary.
There was an unexpected entertain
ment at the chalet on Echo mountain.
Professor Lowe was there, and to the
surprise of the entire party there was
another lunch.
II was delightful. sc most unexpected
things are, and Col. F. A. Eastman ex-
plainen to the guests how Professor
Lowe had created the mountain road.
The day was cloudy, but it so hap
pened that there was rift in the
clouds. A glimpse of the ocean, which
was superb, was obtained. There were
some vessels on the. stretch OF sea. The
eastern boys had the graciousness to
express their admiration of the outlook
from Echo mountain.
1t was really a pleasant scenic effect
that they we're able to see, and Professor
Lowe and his courteous staff were dis
tressed that our eastern visitors had so
little time to spare, 30 that they could
not remain all night and see the sun
particularly acceptable, except to
newspaper men.
The two tally-hos stopped once on the
road to Los Angeles at Mr.. Andrew Nc
Nally's palstial residence, near Altadena,
where brief but enjoyable visit was
made. Mrs Mentally received the party.
Col. F. A. Eastman performed the
phenomenal feat of introducing the en-
tire party without any sssistsnce--some
% people.
After this visit the drive to Los Ange-
les was in the night. The electric lights
of Mt. Lowe were supplemented on Or
ange Grove avenue in Pasadena by an
illumination of Prof. loves residence in
honor of the guests, and Mrs. loves
gracious greeting.
When Los Angeles was reached, the
visitors mad supper at the Hollenheck
cafe. Later call was made on Mr..
John F. Francis at the Westminster.
The visitor will take turn around the
kite-shaped track today at the invita-
ton of General Manager Wade of the
Santa Fe.
