PASADENA. Jan. 2s.-The annual
banquet OF the board of trade was held
at Hotel Green last evening after the
annual meeting at the board of trade
rooms. There was a large attendance
of representative citizens, and the affair
passed Off very pleasantly
When coffee and cigars were reached
Colin Stewart president of the board,
called the guests to order and intro
duced Edwin Stearns, toast master, who
announced the first toast, The City Gov
ernment, and called upon Trustee H. G..
Reynolds to respond. Mr.. Reynolds told
of the Irishman who went to Donny-
brook fair, and said, when you see a
head, hit it," He said this was some peo-
pies idea of city government. Mr.. Rey-
Eolds thought "the one man power" was
the right idea for America, and he should
be held individually responsible to the
people who put him in power. Other
wise. it is difficult to place responsible
ity where it belongs.
Corporations called forth a response
from A. r. Metcalfe. The speaker quo
ted from Chief Justice Marshall, then
gave a very interesting and instructive
talk on the legal phases of corporation
law, speaking of the right sand privil-
eyes of corporations, and also of the
limits of the powers.
DR.. Norman Bridge was called upon to
speak on Public Parks. He thought that
while this was a subject that was occu-
pying much public attention, yet the
public mind was in decidedly chaotic
condition in regard to It.. Since one of
the chief things for Pasadena to consid-
er was what will attract new corners,
what proves attractive to tourists and
visitors as well as to ourselves is what
we need. 1t would be much better for
Pasadena to be known as a musical
city than a city with fine parks, and bet
ter yet IL known as city of fine schools
The city Is full of fine homes and
grounds, many of the places being in re-
ality fine parks in themselves, and the
false impression that Pasadena is real
1y in need of breathing places should not
be allowed to go abroad
Prof. j. ID. Graham was then invited
to speak on Education. Prof. Graham
thought the newspapers were helping to
educate the people in a certain way.
Referring particularly to the schools.
Prof. Graham said that the schools of
California stand second to none in the
United States.
X. H. Wade. general manager of the
b Southern California railway, was called
supon to speak on railroads. Mr.. Wade
said no doubt there were many who saw
7 numerous things in the management Of
/ the railroads which they thought they
could remedy. and very likely they
might, Just as he sometimes thought he
could give points to people in other
lines of business.
Mr.. Wade thought the lasting mo-
ments of the past faded into insignifi-
canoe in comparison with the develop
ment of railway systems in the last
twenty years.
:. P. M, Green spoke on Banking, in an
interesting manner confining his re-
marks to the local banks.
George. H. Coffirs spoke on Mines and
Mining.
The early days of Pasadena were
graphically described. and Mr.. T. P.
Lukens spoke entertainingly of the
mountains of California
DR.. e. L. Conger spoke eloquently of
Throop polytechnic and it's needs, an in
stitution of the greatest benefit to Pasa-
dena.

ONE THING CERTAIN.
Juan Reyes was examined in the re-
corder's court room this afternoon for
the stabbing of Louis Quijada The
stabbed man himself waY the only wit
ness, and 1t was ELECTED, with the help
of an interpreter, that the several things
which Quijada did not know would form
a bulk of knowledge worthy Of posses
sion. He did not know that Reyes meant
to stab him or even to hurt him He did
not know that his friend, the defendant.
was charged with assault to commit
murder. He did not know what the COM
plant was, but he was told by the Of
ficers that he must make some sort of
complaint. What he did know was that
both he and Reyes were very drunk.
The defendant was therefore discharged
as what the witness did not know SEEM
ed enough to acQuit him.
