PASADENA. March 22.-Prepara--
tions are complete for a very unusual
celebration or Arbor day tomorrow IN
the public schools of the city. Elabo-
rate programs have been arranged for
each OF the eight schools and If to-
DAVIS beautiful weather continues the
day will be made noteworthy in many
ways. Through the efforts of the civic
committee of the Shakespeare club
much of this very general interest has
arisen and at it's suggestion prominent
women of the club will address the
audience at the different schools upon
the care and cultivation of trees ana
particularly as to the necessity of pro-
tecting our native wild flowers, a sub
ject which is too often neglected in ad-
dresses of this kind, although of inn
mense Importance. The women who
are to make these various addresses
and the schools at which they are to
speak are as follows: Mrs. w. T. Tur-
ner, president of the Shakespeare club
at the high school, Mrs. j. H. Wood
worth at Lincoln school, Miss Mary A.
Stewart at the Garfield school, Mrs
Helen Elliott Bandini at the Grant and
Mckinley schools, Mrs. Calvin Hart
we'll at the Franklin and Columbia
schools, Mrs. Frank Leavens at the
Madison school, Mrs. Elizabeth Grim
nell at the Wilson school, Mrs. Mary
M. Conan at the Washington school,
The exercises are scheduled to occur
at II a. m. and the public is invited
At most of the schools trees will be
planted as part of the program. Last
year handsome pine tree was planted
at the Mckinley school and formally
christened the Mckinley tree" This
year another pine tree will be planted
and given a name, probably that OF
President Roosevelt. Vines will be
planted about the building. At the
Garfield school a number of small oaks
will be planted and the pupils of the
different grades will also plant sealed
bottles containing the name OF the
teachers and pupils in each grade.
Great interest is being shown in the
coming celebration.
Wilcox for President
There have been some inquiries late
ly as to who will be allowed to attend
the first annual banquet of the Pasa-
den1 Horse Show association tomorrow
evening at the Hotel Maryland. The
management states that members of
the association will be allowed to bring
their wives and one or two guests If
they so choose, but that the affair will
lic Each person who attends will be
called upon to pay $5-not So as stated
in certain badly informed newspapers.
Not more than fifty people will sit
down around the festive board, fact
which will make the banquet the most
select of it's kind held in the city this
season. 1t is understood that Manager
Linnard will see that the menu and
service together with the unique table
will he ~, of
ing with the exclusive set from which
the diners will be drawn. President
John S. Cravens will preside over the
gathering, but the names of the speak
ers and the toasts to which responses
will be given are not to be secured. At
$50 p. M, preceding the banquet, will
be held the annual business meeting
of the association. Under this head
comes the reading of detailed reports
and the election of officers. There will
be no contests over the distribution of
these Offices President Cravens has
made a very capable official during the
past year, but it is understood does
not wish a reelection. In this event
the members are said to favor the
promotion to the presidency of Fred
E. Wilcox, another of the Orange Grove
avenue colony of millionaires, very
capable and pleasant gentleman. Dur
ing the past year Mr.. Wilcox has been
vice president of the association and
a member of the executive committee.
Edwin D. Neff. whose work as secre-
tary and treasurer of the association
has been of the highest order, is said
to be slated for reelection. The re-
manning offices are of less Importance
in themselves but will be filled with
care. No figures can be given in ad-
vance of the meeting concerning the
finances of the association, but it is
known that judged by this standard
the second annual horse show has been
remarkably successful.
