Qay. In spite OIL the 1nClenenC weather
the church was crowded to it's doors
at the three advertised services of the
day and the greatest of enthusiasm
was shown. Bishop John w. Hamilton
was the central figure in the work of
dedication and preached two eloquent
sermons, one in the forenoon, at which
time nearly $4,000 was raised to apply
on the church Indebtedness of little
over $4,000 and a second one tonight
when the announcement was made that
practically all of the required amount
has been subscribed. The corner stone
of the church was also laid today,
it's location in the brick veneer making
it impossible to lay it at an earlier date
and Rev. DIR. A. w. Lamport of the
First Methodist Episcopal church, this
city, preached the appropriate sermon
for this occasion, The new church
edifice is one of the prettiest and most
convenient in the city and takes the
place of the building destroyed about
a year ago by lightning. At the time
the former church was destroyed the
congregation found itself without a
home and with about $4,000 assets, the
insurance on the building. Plans We're
at once laid for rebuilding the church.
A building committee was appointed
consisting of the pastor, Rev. j. G.
Elliott, Royal Plummer, DR.. A. r.
Royal, Prof. C. S. Thompson, C. Col
lins, Charles Leach, G. A. Winner,
George Newman and Charles Smith.
Architect A. Dudley of Los Angeles
submitted designs for a beautiful
structure of combined Gothic and Mis-
sion architecture and these were finally
accepted. Today the church stands
complete at cost of $4,000, practically
every cent of the money needed for its
erection now being raised. The con-
tractor was A. l.. Gribbling and the
building was to have been completed
by the middle of November, but was
delayed for various reasons until jan
uary 10, the first service being held i'll
it on January IA. The church member
day revival recently held by 100 new
members and is numerically quite
strong.
Show Money Maker
The receipts of the second annual
asadena horse show, which closed
Saturday, are reported to have been
fully fifty per cent larger than at the
first show of year ago, while the eX-
penditures have been little If any more
than at the first show. When 1T is re-
membered that the first show resulted
in clear profit of nearly $4,000, show
ing which was considered quite re-
second show financially must be con-
sidered even more remarkable. Too
much credit for this splendid showing
and for the well nigh perfect manage
ment of the latest show cannot be
given the executive committee consist
ing of Messrs. Cravens, Wilcox, Miller
Lowe, Macomber, Hogan and Neff, who
have worked III defatigably for the sue
cess which has come in so large u
,,,a al ic n
Neff of this committee, the secretary
and treasurer of the Horse Show asso-
citation, in whose hands much of the
detail work of preparation and man
agement was necessarily left. The
show went off like clock-work," as
was frequently remarked, and every
contingency provided for.
Eastern critics in attendance at the
show were very complimentary both as
to the quality of the exhibits and rs
to the up-to-date, business-like manner
in which the affairs of the show We're
handled. 1t is interesting to know that
every dollar of the profits of the Pasa-
dena show will be devoted to making
the succeeding shows given by the asso-
citation better and bigger. No one
makes money out of the Pasadena
show.
Notices will probably be sent out to-
morrow to the 110 members of the
Horse Show association scheduling the
arrangements for the approaching an
nual election and first annuol dinner
which it is has been decided to give at
the Hotel Maryland on the evening Of
March "a. 1t is planned to hold The
annual business meeting and election
of officers at $780, following it with a
sumptuous dinner at 8 o'clock, partici-
pated in by the members of the asso-
citation and their invited guests. The
price for this dinner has been placed
at IS plate.
ChoIos in Row
Luiz Persedo, a Mexican laborer liv-
ing on South Raymond avenue, was the
net result of a visit by the police this
evening to the cholo settlement in the
south end of the city. The visit was
in response to hurry-up call from
residents of that section, not uncom-
mon occurrence. Officers Coping and
Schultz found four Mexicans rolling
in the mud outside a tent house and
apparently engaged in an indiscrim-
mate and not altogether bloodless COM
bat while a Mexican woman lowered
anXiously at the border of a pile of
MeXicans. The police gathered in the
entire outfit and carted it to the city
lookup. After some of the mud had
been cleared away and someone was
found who could speak coherently it
was learned that Persedo was drunk
and had begun friendly argument
with his wife, ending the wordy war
which appeared to be going against him
by putting his wife out of the tent
house into the rain The woman's step
father protested vigorously, combat
followed and two other Mexicans mixed
in to show their interest. All We're
sufficiently crestfallen except Persedo
and so he alone was held as the real
offender. He will explain the matter
to Police Judge Wood tomorrow morn
ing.
Snow on the Mountains
The beautiful weather of the past
few days drew a crowd of 150 persons
to the summit of Mount Wilson yes
terday and today, but the heavy snow
fall which began at noon today and is
still in progress, with fierce wind,
drove the pleasure seekers into the
hotel and prevented many from re-
turning to the valley tonight. There
is about five inches of snow on the
ground tonight, with more coming.
