SEEK TEMPORARY QUARTERS
Pasadena's Valley Hunt Club May
Use Shakespeare Club House
Six Months

Special to The Herald.
PASADENA, Sept 6.-At a meeting
of the board of directors of the Valley
Hunt club tonight steps were taken
looking to the leasing of the Shake
speare club house for term of six
months.
This will provide for the regular
gathering of the club members twice a
month in convenient and pleasing
manner, as there is no finer place in the
city for such social functions as those
given by the exclusive Valley Hunt
people.
1t has been arranged to hold a pic
mic at an early date, at which time the
future of the club will be considered.
One thing is certain and that is that
should a suitable offer for the grounds
of the club be made at this time the
new club house will be erected on a less
expensive site. The grounds are valued
at about $3.50
President r. l. Rogers has a gunny
sack of silver knives and forks and
spoons picked up in the ruins of the
burned club house on Colorado court
and will probably distribute them
among the members as. souvenirs.
Hotel del Coronado eXces them all.

ONLY THREE DAYS REMAIN
Pasadena's Pet Scheme Hangs Upon
Immediate Raising of Five
Thousand Dollars
Special to The Herald.

Special to The Herald.
PASADENA, Sept. 6.-Unless the sum
of $4,000 is subscribed between now and
Monday morning next the desired con-
vention hall site on West Colorado
street cannot be secured.
This is the announcement made by
Chairman McCament of the soliciting
committee this evening.
1t appears that the total amount
needed to purchase the Carmelita
property, now owned by F. e. Craw-
ford, is just $4,000. OF this amount
west side citizens (none others have
been asked to contribute to this pur-
pose) have raised among themselves
just $4,000.
Three more days remain in which to
raise the balance as indicated There
seems to be little doubt but that the
money will be Forthcoming, but Chair
man McCament has called meeting
for tomorrow night at the board of
trade rooms to consider the raising of
this money.
He desires every west slider who has
not yet contributed or who is willing to
raise his subscription to come to that
meeting. As soon as the property is
the city's steps will be taken about
the city at large to raise the money for
the building.
Hotel del Coronado never closes.

reptiles. He Lad caught them in Texas
and was taking them to Hot Springs.
Swan and the Snakes were riding in

he said by way of Interrogation.
YES said Swan. Like to see him?"
The porter dotes on dogs. He said
he would.
The aquatic marvel opened the suit

feet long, opened their mouths seven
inches wide and Missed soulfully.
"Oh, Lord!" yelled the negro, stam-
peding to the coach ahead. He could
