about largely by the report that snow
had fallen on the mountain tne H'si ii
before and seventy-five or eighty Pill
grfns from the valley visited the peak
and frolicked in the great masses OF
the beautiful. Among the guests was
brother of Prof. Hale of the sonar
observatory, himself prominent scleh-
fist connected with the great Aerkes
observatory at Chicago. He founu
much to admire in the great institution
which has grown up so rapldly uhuer uhs
the fostering care OF the Carnegie iiis'i-
tuition. It,. ILL,
1t is interesting to know that with
+he advent of the Pacific Electric line
to Sierra Madre the visitors TO Mount
Wilson have fully doubled in numper
with every prospect of oVercroWulHs
the summit resorts in the near 1uture'
Plans are under way for added accom-
modations during the coming summer

Holiday for Horse Shoe
THE city council will be asked to-
morrow 10 declare Thursday afternoon
of this week civic half holiday, tnat
being the first day of the forthcoming
Pasadena horse show. The matter VIII
be laid before the city fathers by Pres
ident Linnard of the board or trade
and Vice President Hogan of the
Horse Show association, and they are
receiving the support of many leading
citizens The work at Tournament park
in preparation for the opening day goes
on unabated. Fifteen men are busily
engaged in putting the show ring and
grounds in perfect condition, NUMBER
of fine animals entered are already in
the stables at the park and when the
first entry to be judged comes before
the grandstand at lis p. m. Thursday
the spectacle will no doubt be bril-
liant one. Only three boxes remain

the policing of the park during the

Still Oppose Annexation
The Altadena Improvement associa-
ton did not meet tonight as an
nounced. but will meet one week from
tonight instead. This association is
one of the most important and active
of the many similar organizations in
the city and neghborhood, and as
many as two hundred people can usual
ly be counted upon to attend its meet
ings. DR.. Galret II. Newkirk is presi-
dent. Frank Schmidt and Jacob Man
sar vice presidents and Lee Guyer sec
Tetary and treasurer. The fine new
Mariposa hotel has been secured for
the next meeting of the association.
While many residents of the beautiful
city of the foothills are still active in
opposing any move toward annexation
TO Pasadena, there are many others
who insist that local conditions are
such that there is but small alterna-
tive. They do not like the idea OF
going it alone in the matter of storm
water sewer construction as outlined
by the county supervisors and argue
that once under the sheltering wing
can be made cOuformable to the one
soon TO be adopted by Pasadena anC
be better and cheaper.
