The Midwinter Fair Exhibit


Notes.
PASADENA, Jan. ga special meet
ing OF the committee on Pasadena's in
terests in the midwinter fair was held
this afternoon in the board of trade
\ rooms.
Y The matter which was under immedi-
ste discussion, and to consider which
10 meeting was called, was the display
- nich it is now proposed to make. AS
stated in yesterdays HERALD. the COM
mittee has been notified that space
6x13 can be secured for permanent ex-
hibit, and a space 10x10 for citrus
exhibit. The citrus exhibit will not
run through the whole of the fair, it
commencing on February goth and clos
ing March 10th, so that the coat of keep
ing up this display would not be great.
The permanent exhibit would run
through the entire fair, and in this. as
in the citrus display. the chief expense
would be the salary OF the man in
charge.
The proposition was thoroughly dis
cussed by the committee, especially the
financial part, which proved to be the
most perplexing.
favor Of the floral exhibit scheme, but
wanted to be sure where the money
was coming from before they went
ahead with the work.
A committee, consisting of M. ii.
Weight and Cal Hartwell was appointed
to confer with the committee appointed
by the board of trade to solicit sub
scriptions for the general Southern
California fund, and to arrange 30 that
the work of the two exhibits may be
carried on in harmony.
Another meeting of the committee
will be held tomorrow afternoon at 4
O'Clock, in the Office of the cemetery
association, when report will be re-
ceived from the subcommittee on the
financial question, and if favorable, the
work will be started at once.
There is but little doubt now that the
local exhibit Is go, and it stands the
citizenn of Pasadena in hand to see that
it is in every way creditable affair.
Communications from San Francisco
county state that the northern coun-
ties are straining every nerve to make
their citrus exhibit excel the one from
this section.

Luther Walsh was today committed
to the state school at Whittier by JUS
tice Merriam, before whom he was
brought for stealing silver watch from
q family named Schick, who formerly
resided in this city but have recently
removed to Los Angeles. The boy, who
is about ID years old, was taken from
the reform school by the family,
WHO uiu every Hlng possible IOr MIN,
but he proved utterly unmanageable.
stealing everything he could get his
hands on, and at last they were Obliged
to swear out q complaint and have him
sent back to the school.
Now that he is back again at the in
stitution it is not likely he will be given
another opportunity of getting out until
Mr.. Gabriel has sold his home place
on North Raymond avenue to eastern
parties, consideration $4,000.
The ladies having the charity ball in
hand report everything progressing
lovely.
Tomorrow being legal holiday our
banks will close. Business houses gem

Sue Yuen, the Chinaman who was
fined SIS few days ago for having a
stovepipe run out from the side of his
washhouse, was up again today before
Recorder Rossiter, having failed to take
down the pipe.
He was let off with 81 fine, as he
had evidently thought the payment of
the first fine gave him license to keep
the pipe in position.
