Y. M. G. A. RESOLUTIONS.
Upon the retirement OF Mr.. George
Taylor as secretary of the Pasadena Y.
M. c. A. the committee of the trustees,
consisting OF Messrs. Fordyce Grinnell,
J. r. Townsend and P. NJ. Green, adopt
ed resolutions highly comm endatory of
Mr.. Taylor work as secretary of the as
ISOLATION. from which the following ex-
tract is taken:
For six and one-half years during
which Mr.. Taylor has acted as our secre-
tary, his average salary has been but $36
per month. yet he has worked patiently
and unselishly. At his own expense he
attended the great world'J convention of
the Y. M. Y. A. and made tour of
Europe that he might study our organi-
in the old countries. We feel that we
can do no less than express our apprecia-
ton of the valuable services rendered our
association by our retiring secretary, and
we trust that his value to the work will
be no less in the future than it has been
in the past. and that the blessings. vouoh-
sailed to "the faithful may be his.
A MIDwINTER EXHIBITION.
The Pasadena Loan association is
actively engaged in preparing for the
midwinter exhibition and working up
the various subjects included within
the scope of its work, which seems to en-
large continually.
A department has been recently oragn-
lied for collecting Spanish, Mexican and
Indian relics and historical souvenirs, as
we'll as reliable data concerning them.
Connolsseurship in such collecting is
to be recorded in series of pam phi Is
or monographs upon Indian baskets, pat
terms of the Periiladores, Navajo art lore,
Guadalajara figurenes, Dolores-H idalg o
pottery, filigrana, Uruapan lacquer and
other fascinating subjects, under the
double cachet OF the association and the
Walz company, represented in the city of
Mexico by Mr.. W. G. Walz in person.
Disputed questions in archaeology will
lie referred only to the United States
museum.
The literary plans of the organization
include important cooperation on the
part of Harper's Magazine, The Overland
and Messrs. Roberts Bros, as we'll as
certain distinguished action in Madrid.
In the Novem Der Land of Sunshine GER
tain tables will be published showing the
line of stations from San Diego to San
Francisco. along the Canine Real. and
later a completely formulated line of
travel will be furnished for these travellers
interested in its practical revival.
Foremost among the many important
things happening to the association is
the active cooperation of Bishop Mont
gomery, in whose diocese SO many of the
contem plated plans originate and from
which they must be carried into practi-
cal execution.
