DIR. RUNNERS LECTURE.
An Interesting Description of Scenes
and Incidents in Europe.

There was fair attendance at the
Sixth-street Methodist Church last
night, when Rev. Alfred Hummer. D.
D., delivered the second lecture Of the
course under the auspices Of White
Rose Circle
The subject Of the lecture was
Lights and Shades of Travel" and
the lecture itself consisted of a descrip-
tion of incidents that had occurred
during visit the doctor had paid to
party of excursionists
He spoke of the fact that in Cont
mental Europe, owing to the large
standing armies that We're maintained
there most of the field work on the
farm was done by women in the most
primitive fashion and with the most
primitive implements.
He took his hearers through France
Germany. Holland, Belgium and Italy,
and compared the institutions of Eu-
ropean countries with those Of Amer
ica, much to the advantage of this
country. He, however, much preferred
the British Sabbath and the Satur-
day half-holiday that prevails every
where there.
His conclusion, after his travel, was
that there was no better scenery any
where he had visited than could be
found in this country, and scarcely
any as good, and that this country is
advancing so rapidly, under the benign
influence of republican institutions,
that she will soon outstrip Europe IN
the fine arts, as she now does in manu-
factures.

MUSEUM ASSOCIATION.
Choosing Directors-GaIlery Sugges.
tions-Farmers' Institute.

The annual meeting of the California
Museum Association was held last
night. President Woodson in the chair.
The attendance was not so large as
desired, but those assembled were not
at all disheartened. There was
quorum for ordinary business but not
sufficient to elect Directors under the
State law.
There was general desire expressed
in the remarks of Mr.. Smith and Mr..
Mills, that ladies be asked to take part
of the positions on the Directory. Ac-
cordingly on motion of c. H. Cummings
it was resolved that the Board of Di-
rectors, in the absence of a quorum to
elect by the stockholders be requested
to hold over, and that the three vacan-
cies on the board be filled by the board
as by law provided, by soliciting three
associations to name their Presidents
as Directors, whereupon the Directory
should elect them, namely, the Kings
ley Art Club, the Ladies' Museum As
sociation and the Saturday Club.
This will put three residents and one
non resident (Mrs. Margaret E. Crock
er) women on the board, and six resi-
dent men. The proposition passed
unanimously and it was felt that the
new movement would prove agreeable,
beneficial all around, and add new in
terest to the conduct of the Associa-
ton.
On motion of Sparrow Smith it was
resolved that the meeting petition the
Board of Joint Control of the Art Gal
lery to have the lower and main floors
wired for electrical lighting, it having
been ascertained that the cost with
lamps will not be heavy and that it will
prove true economy.
Daniel Flint presented an application
for the use of the gallery rooms on the
18th and 18th instants for the holding
of a Farmers Institute called by Po-
mona Grange, and held under the pa
tronage of the State University. On
motion of Mr.. Curtis the request was
acceded to and the Joint Board of Con-
troll asked to permit the use desired
Art Instructor Jackson gave notice that
the School of Design would hold it's an
nuai exhibition in the gallery early in
April
On adjourning the members visited
the picture galleries and discussed
methods of shading the lights in the
east west and south galleries SO as to
produce the same fine effect as does
the lighting in the central gallery. Sew
eral plans were proposed but one sug-
gested by Mr.. Cummings met most ia
vor, namely. the placing of two shadow
boards in the form of an inverted T.
with the incandescent lamps hung eth
er side the vertical board, the horizon
tai preventing the glare of the light in
the eyes of the spectator.
This it was found would have to be
so far modified as suggested by Mr..
Woodson as to give the horizontal
boards an inclination downward in op-
posite directions, so as to light the
lower parts of the lower tier of paint
ings, equally with the upper tier of pic
lures.
The question of putting the device
into operation is only a question of
means and the association will appeal
20 the Joint Board on that head. The
effect of such an improvement in the
gallery would be very fine

THE HOSPITAL PUMP.
T A w. Shock of the Central Gas and
Electric Company reported that the
Hospital pump is now raising more
water than formerly, but in all respects
it is not working satisfactorily, owing
to the size of the pipe C3-inch) beneath
the ground whereas it should be D
inch pipe When the Electric Company
agreed to operate the pump with ten
horse motor it was not aware OF the
condition of the piping.
Supervisor Mclaughlin believed the
whole trouble came from the board
changing the pump, which ne peneFeo
should not have been done.
Supervisor Morrison said the Electric
Company's representatives guaranteed
that if the 4S-inch wheel was put on
they would raise the water.
Mr.. Shock said they supposed the
pump was properly connected, but OF
course had no means of knowing What
was beneath the ground. 1t turns out
that the suction-pipe is too small. Ihey
are now pumping the water, but the
pump is not working satisfactorily be-
cause of it's imperfect connections.
Frank Lyman, the contractor VINO put
in the pump, informed the board thae
the pump is too large for the piping. 10
change the pipe would entail an expense
of S4OO or $500 This could be obVlated
by putting in a smaller pump, ana TINS
would be done if the county would stano
the outlay for the work of making the
change, say about 500.

matter the board took a recess TIL TINS
