PASADENA. May 9.-The annual
meeting Of the Tournament of Roses
association was held this evening at the
Hotel Maryland, representative gath
erlng of prominent citizens being Sc
cured.
Reports of the past very successful
year were read. the substance of which
have already been made public. and
other matters discussed at length.
AS concerns the proposed widening
of California street the members ex-
pressed themselves as in its favor and
adopted a resolution requesting the
city, which virtually owns Tournament
park as the gift of the association, to
give the necessary strip of land and
to move the fence that far to the south.
The matter Of reducing the annual dues
of the associa tion from IS to So aroused
much discussion and was finally set
tied with great unanimity by a sug-
gestion of Thomas Farley that the an
nual dues be left at IS and an annual
banquet be given each year, only those
whose dues have been paid to be adj
mitted without charge. 1t is under
stood that no banquet will be given
this year.
The proposed representation of the
association in the Fiesta floral parade
at Los Angeles was next taken UP. II
was agreed that something unique must
be sent to this parade and the propo-
sitlon was made that the Tournament
of Roses association combine with the
Pasadena board of trade in making this
entry thoroughly distinctive and worthy
the whole city. After some discussion
It was voted to make one big entry
under the name of Pasadena, the two
associations and such private citizens
as desire contributing.
These matters of business attended
to the meeting proceeded to the annual
election. Six directors were to be
elected for the term of two years. The
final count showed the following to
have received the majority vote and
they were declared elected: DR.. w. r,
Hibbard. D. M Linnard, George p.
Cary, Edward T. Off, Dr. u. T. Malaby
and Frank V. Rider. These gentlemen
together with the following whose
terms of office have not yet expired
constitute the board of directors for
the ensuing year: Frank P. Boynton,
Edward D. Neff, F. S. Allen, E. 7.
Pyle and J. S. Glasscock
At some future day these directors
will meet and organize for business.
A buffet lunch was served and this
closed the annual meeting.
Bishop conaty May Come
Bishop Conaty may succeed in
reaching Los Angeles from his present
trip to the north in time to come to the
open meeting of the Pasadena board
of trade next Tuesday evening.
The presence of the distinguished
churchman is greatly desired and it is
sincerely hoped that he can return in
time. But Seward Simons, the eloquent
| gentleman who was to act as toastams-
ter for the occasion, has also beer
called out of the city with the posi-
bility that he will not return in time
for the meeting. Should this be known
| for a certainty the committee in charge
will proceed to fill the vacancy at the
postponed meeting of the directors on
Friday night. This meeting of the di-
rectors was announced for last night
at the Hotel Maryland, but a quorum
could not be secured. The change was
| therefore made to Friday night when
the directors will gather around the
dinner table at the Hotel Maryland at
$50, the menu to lead up to the dis
cussion of several matters of consid-
erable Importance, of which the open
meeting will be one.
The matter of permanent quarters
and permanent secretary will also
be considered at that time.
Another Resignation
The city administration was pre-
sented with another resignation this
morning, an action which seems to be
quite the fashion these days. Charles
f. Brown, who has been acting deputy
city auditor and deputy assessor since
the promotion of Deputy Don d. Kel-
logg to the position OF auditor and as
SCISSOR, followed the example of the
other retiring officials by handing his
formal resignation to Mayor Water
house this forenoon.
His successor has not yet been
