PASADENA, Nov. 25.--Mrs w. J,
Johnston of Evanston, Ill, is reported
TO be In New York city at this time
making an effort to secure endow-
ments for the proposed womans col
lege to be located in Pasadena. Mrs.
Johnston is quite an enthusiast upon
the project and year ago Informed
the board Of trade that she felt certain
that wealthy friends of hers in the
Empire state would help very literally
i'm the endowment of such an institu-
ton. Her efforts at that time were not
successful but 1t appears that she still
looks for success. 1t is also said that
President Jordan of Stanford university
is in New York now upon a similar
errand. Pasadena people generally are
confident that the needed money will
be raised and point to the apparent con-
tent of such men as Mr.. Huntington
and Gen. Otis and other members of
the temporary board of trustees as the
best of reason for the belief that Is in
them.
Tournament Plans
Paul de Longpre, the noted flower
artist. has consented to act as one OF
the Judges for the award of the Hogan
Roses. This Is the trophy donated by
Col. and Mrs. Hogan of Louisville, KY,
for the most artistically decorated turn
out in the parade, irrespective of class.
1t Is expected that there will be other
trophies offered by local people or
clubs, prizes which will bring out the
very best efforts of the competitors.
The tournament management today an
nounced the long list of prizes, aggre-
does not include the $500 hung UP for
the chariot races alone. There will
also probably be special prizes for con-
spicuous merit and q few trophies not
vet made public. Twenty-Five classes
are named in the list, the school eX-
hibits receiving six prizes, over $2OO,
and nearly every possible combination
in the line of vehicles being covered.
A prize of $25 is offered for the best
decorated store front on the line OF
march and a like amount for the best
decorated dwelling.
Shakespeare Club
Seldom has an important event OF
international Importance been brought
SO forcibly to the members of the
Shakespeare club as occurred this aft
ernoon when Miss Maritime DIETRICH
son, a native of Sweden, told OF the
recent separation of the two great ma
tions. The subject of the afternoon
was Norway and Sweden" with a
silken flag of the two countries in her
hand she explained the full meaning
of the union emblem in one corner the
emblem which has recently been re-
moved by both the separating nations.
''And today is a great day in Norway"
said the speaker, "for it is today that
the new king makes his official entry
into Christiania, and all the people are
singing together the national hymn,
rejoicing as they sing"
AS the members of the club saw the
stage this afternoon, it seemed as if
a bit of the northland "the land of
the midnight sum-" had, indeed, been
transferred there, for quaint, pictur-
esque costumes, odd furniture,
strange silver tea service, rye bread
on the afternoon tea table, with many
Norwegian and Swedish tapestries and
curios made a typical north country
interior. Miss Millicent Bowers, al
ways a welcome musician before the
club, opened the program with selec-
tion from Grieg, followed by bright
little encore. Mrs. r. H. Pinney had
charge of the very successful afternoon
and next introduced Mrs. S. P. Swear
ingen, who, dressed in the garb of a
peasant widow gave an interesting pa
per upon the History and Literature"
of the country.

cant lots, uniform with the general

ing in the result desired to be attained.
