PASADENA, Feb ia meeting Of the
directors of the board of trade was
held last evening, President Keyes
presiding.
A letter was presented from G. d.
Willard, secretary of the board of
trade of Los Angeles, setting forth the
preparations that are being made for
the Fiesta celebration, of their at
tempting to raise $4,000 in Los An
geles alone, an soliciting the co-opera-
tion of Pasadena in the work. The
night parade is to be significant of the
Land of the Sun. One division is to
be Southern California distinctively,
and all cities Of Southern California
are invited to participate.
The matter was referred to President
Keyes, Vice-President Lukens and Sec
retary Wood. It was decided to call
meeting of the board at the parlors of
the Carlton hotel on Friday afternoon
at 8 o'clock, when the report Of the
above committee will be received and
acted upon.
The visit of the National Hotel Mems
association to the coast in April was
brought up, and drive about the city
was thought to be the most enjoyable
way of entertaining the visitors-the
carriages to be provided by the citi-
Zens.

forming q merchants protective asso-
citation, and asked the cooperation of
| the board of trade in maintaining it.

by the business men. Its object is to
procure and supply infor nation for
! the protection of members against un-
safe creditors. The proposition re-
ceived the sanction of the board, and
to prepare plans for the completion of
arrangements a committee was ap.
pointed, consisting OF Messrs. j. Il.
