cious citizen, Miss May Sutton, cham
pion lady tennis player of the world.
The formal exercises of the long dis
cussed welcome home began at the din
ner hour when a banquet was given
Miss Sutton and the members of her
family by Mrs. Elmer e. Woodbury.
and Miss Martha Patrick. Eighteen
covers were laid in the beautiful colon
ial dining room of La Casa Grande
and the guests were Captain and Mrs.
Sutton, Misses May, Violet and Flor
enee Sutton, Mr.. and Mrs. Bert Or
lando Bruce, Mr.. and Mrs. James r.
Britton, Mrs. Allen, Mr. and Mrs. Elmer
e. woodbury., Misses Patrick, Gilmore
and Senack, Messrs. c. T. Sutton and
A. C. Way. The decorations of the
dining room and of the table itself
were unique and strikingly appropri-
ate. The table was built in the form
of an immense tennis raquet. At its
base was the American flag, at the
head the English flag at half mast.
miniature tennis court was laid the
length of the table and miniature ten
mis- players were at the game.
The menu cards were designed by
Mrs. Woodbury. and will serve as de-
lightful mementos of the event, con-
tanning as they do recent photograph
of Miss Sutton, her autograph signature,
a list of the several championships she
has won, the dinner guests-the whole
tied with the national colors and the
English union jack.
Following the dinner came the public
reception, for which an enormous crowd
of citizens flooded the hotel and
grounds. For the suitable decoration
of these Mr.. and Mrs. Woodbury. and
the several committees had labored
long. The many rooms of the hotel
lend themselves readily to the decor
ator and have already passed under
the skillful hands of the painter anl
paper hanger, preparatory to the annual
influx of tourists. Tonight they had
the appearance of fairyland. Costly
rugs cushioned the floors, thousands
of choice flowers filled the air with
their fragrance and added their bright
colors to the rooms. Long rows of
Chinese lanterns hung about the
grounds, an electric welcome" lit up
the front of the buildings. The Crown
city band was located at one end of
the front porch and provided music
during the time when Miss Sutton was
receiving the personal congratulations
of the crowd within doors.
1t was $3.50 when Rev. Robert J. Bur-
dette, Miss Sutton and the members of
the reception committee showed them
selves on the front porch and the cere-
mony of presenting Pasadena's memoir
ial to the champion began. OF course
the band played "See the Conquering
Hero Comes" after which Mr.. Bur-
dette made the presentation in his hap
piest manner. He compared Miss SUIT
toms ome-coming to the triumphs of
the heroes of ancient Rome, and told of
the pride and affection which had fol-
lowed her during all her contests
abroad, and finally of the genuine pleas
ure with which she was greeted on her
safe and victorious return. His elo-
quent and witty words took the fancy
of the crowd and were literally ap-
plauded. When he had concluded Miss
Sutton presented her brother, Charles
T. Sutton, who, in accepting the gift
in her name, made some remarks upon
the treatment accorded his sister while
abroad, and ended by inviting every
body to drop in at the family home
when in the neighborhood and have a
cup of tea from the beautiful silver
tea set, the citys gift.
The crowd then repaired to the din
ing room, where everyone was given an
opportunity to shake hands with Miss
Sutton and to examine the silver serv-
ice. The affair was a complete sue
cess in every detail.

long and heated affair. The following

in the water of Owens river.

city council to express by resolution or
otherwise their intention, should the

that we favor the sale of the North
Pasadena water plant to the city of
