afternoon attracted a large crowd and
proved of unusual interest. The crowd
was seated under the cool balcony of
hotel Green, adjoining the park in
which the fountain is located. moving
to the site of the fountain when the ex-
ercises were about to close.
DR.. E. L. Conger, president of the
Humane society, presided and intro
duced the several speakers in his usual
pleasant manner. After the singing of
America" Mrs. w. D. Turner, presi-
dent of the Shakespeare club, read
letter letter ffren, Francis F. Brown. editor OF
the Chicago Dial, who makes his winter
home in Pasadena and through whose
efforts the fountain comes to Pasadena.
The letter told of the life and character
OF his friend, Hermon Lee Ensign, who
founded the National Humane alliance
and gave 100000 for furthering the
work Of that organization. One of the
subjects of this society is the giving
every year of five or six public drink
ing fountains to cities in this country,
Pasadena being the first city on the
Pacific coast to profit by this unique
benevolence. Mr.. Brown formally pre-
scented the fountain to the Pasadena
Humane society.
DR.. Conger accepted the gift in a
witty speech, and in turn presented it
to the city, represented by Mayor
Waterhouse. who in turn very grace
fully turned it over to the park COM
mission. Rev. Robert J. Burdette was
expected to accept the gift in the name
of this commission, but was unable to
be present, his place being ably filled
by another commissioner, w. S. Wind
ham. DR.. Conger, in introducing DR.. A.
H. Lamb, president of the Los Angeles
County S. P. C. A, spoke at some
length of the work the Humane society
hopes to do in the future, telling the
crowd that he has found a man ready
to donate the ground for an animal
hospital midway between Pasadena and
Los Angeles. and saying that all he
needed to be perfectly happy was the
man who would put up the building
and buy an ambulance for the society
to use.
DR.. Lamb made a striking address,
full of praise for Pasadena and its peo-
pie, and was followed by Judge Rossi-
ter, counsel for the Pasadena S. P. C.

society and it's work. DR.. Conger then
read a poem on 1.-The Pack Burro of
the Sierras,' written by Elizabeth
Grinnell. The poem was illustrated in
q, novel manner by patient, long-eared
burro which was led to the platform,
loaded for a journey. Following this
poem and the reading of a number of
letters and a telegram from Rev. Mr..
Burdette, the crowd was led to the
fountain, where all tasted of the flow
ing water, the patient burro being not
forgotten.
During the course of the exercises the
Crown City band furnished several
selections.
Resolutions of thanks were read by
the secretary of the society and
adopted by the audience thanking Mr..
Brown for his friendly offices and the
Humane alliance for the beautiful gift.
Mr.. and Mrs. Elmer Woodbury. have
generously rendered the use of La
Casa Grande to Mayor Waterhouse and
the Pasadena board Of trade for pub
lie reception to Miss May Sutton when
she returns to this city. The offer will
be laid before the board of trade at its
meeting Monday and will no debut be
accepted. Should the young lady whom
the city seeks to honor return in time
the proposed reception will be given on
the evening of Wednesday, September
13; If this date is not suitable Saturday,
September 16 will be substituted. Mr.
and Mrs. Woodbury. propose to throw
open the doors of their handsome hotel
for this reception during the hours
from to 10 o'clock. Preceding the re-
ception Mrs. Woodbury. and Miss
Martha Patrick will give an elaborate
dinner to Miss Sutton, her family and a
few other invited guests. 1t had been
expected that an elaborate public recep-
ton would be rendered Miss Sutton at
the Hotel Maryland. but the continued
illness of Mr.. Linnard seems to make
this impossible at this time and the
new plan meets with a royal welcome.
