PASADENA, March 25.--It does not take Wis
itor to the Southern California building at the
midwinter fair long to find out that Pasadens
has first-class representation in the exhibit
In almost every department visitors are greet
ed by something connected with this city and
surroundings
The main display, consisting of the orange
pyramid and display of citrus fruits, has an
excellent position, almost directly in front oi
the entrance and cannot be overlooked.
Near this is the cabinet of photographs in a
setting of oranges, consisting of views taken
from this city and vicinity, prominent among
which is a view of the Lowe Mountain rail
way, which attracts much attention, espe.
cislly from tourists who have visited this
section of the state. The fruit generally is in
good condition and makes a fine showing, all
Of which is to be credited to the untfring
EFFORTS OF Mr.. NJ. II. Weight, the represen en- ta-
tive sent by the board OF trade to look after
Pasadenas interests at the fair. Mr. Weight
has devoted his entire time to the arrangement
Of the display and in showing visitors over his
departments. In the balcony fine display is
made by Throop polytechnic institute, which
attracts attention especially from educators in
the north, who take q great interest in the
new institution which has been started here
A full display is made of the various depart
ments, such as wood carving, clay modelling,
engraving etc. There is also a splendid COL
lection OF photographs taken in the different
departments OF the school showing the stu
dents at work, the whole making very effec-
tive display. There is also in this section a
complete set of general Photographic views of
Pasadena and vicinity arranged in q very eff
tective manner, one OF the most popular de-
partments of the Southern California building
is the reception rooms where visitors are
made to feel at home and can put in o few
hours very pleasantly resting.
The leading Southern California papers are
kept on file, and an abundance of other read
burning on chilly days, giving he place a
homelike appearance and attracting many
visitors.
Pasadena is to be congratulated as a whole
upon the excellent showing which, as an i'm
dividual city, she makes at the fair, and there
IS no doubt but that much good will result
there.

culars, pamphlets or anything containing in

EASTER SUNDAY.
1t is doubtful IL a more delightful Easter
Sunday was ever experienced even in this
sunny spot than that which Pasadena was
perfect and large crowds which thronged the
various houses OF worship bore witness that 1t
was thoroughly appreciated.
Bright spring, costumes were. the order on
every hand, and the gowns of the ladies Wed
with the floral decorations in frightening the
edifoes.
The floral decorations were, if possible
prettier than those of preceding years. which
Is indeed saying good deal The eveEt
Of, the afternoon was the services at
All Saints church, under the auspices
of the Knights Templar who were in attend
ance in large numbers from Los Angeles and
this CITY. The Pasadena brass band was out in
full force for the occasion and rendered q
number OF excellent selections. The exercises
as usual were OF very impressive nature.
A very large congregation was present at
the morning services in the First Presbyterian
church, filling the large audi torium to over
flowing. The musical programme at this
church was especially fine.
Atthe Methodist church the morning was
devoted to a concert by the Sunday school pre-
ceded by short sermon by the pastor.
No regular service was held in the Univer-
salist church in the morning, but in the even
ing the pulpit was occupied by the pastor as
usual. The floral decorations in this church
were especially good.
