Hatfield Predicts Rain
Today concludes the first half of the
time allotted to Hatfield to produce
the eighteen inches of rain, and he has
so nearly got the amount promised
that he has no hesitancy in saying
that it will all come, although the rain
fall in Los Angeles is several inches
behind the local record. He predicts
heavy rain within twenty-four hours
one. which is coming down the coast,
and will not be local in it's severity.
Shakespeare Lecture=Rectas
Edgar C. Abbott of Boston opens to-
morrow morning a series of three lee
ture recitals from Shakespeare under
the auspices of the Shakespeare club
of this city. Each recital is to be
given in leading society homes, the
first, on "Othello," being at the res
idence of Mrs. Charles Burton SEQ
vile, at II o'clock. Next Thursday
morning, Hamlet" is to be discussed
ny 4hls ApDOll dl luG INdyIIOIlu nOIel,
and the third lecture to be devoted
to "The Merchant of Venice" will be
given at the home of Mrs. George
Huntington Barker of South Grand
avenue. Mr.. Abbott, cousin of the
noted divine, DIR. Edward Abbott, and
Of DR.. George E. Abbott of this city,
is an accepted authority on Shakes
peare and among the patronesses of
his lectures are half hundred of the
leading society women of Pasadena.
Band Concerts Uncertain
The old difference as to the best
day for the band concerts has resulted
in but a part of the needed money
being paid into the hands of the COM
mittee in charge, and it is feared that
the plan to have one each week may
not go through as hoped. Some of the
merchants think that Saturday is
very poor day for them, and so will
not contribute, and others will not give
for fear they will be on Sunday. The
church people are almost unit
against the Sunday concert, and until
some compromise or settlement can be
made between the two factions it is
likely that there will be no band con-
certs
Dog Poisoner at Work
For some time past there have been
cases of valuable dogs being poisoned,
no less than a dozen animals thus
losing their lives, and suffering in
tensely in the process. The officers
of the Humane society have been
stirred up about the matter, but no
reward of any consequence was offer
ed until Frank Turner lost his dog
yesterday, He now offers a reward Of
$500 for information which viii lead
to the arrest and conviction of the
person who gave the poison to his dog.
