PREPARE FOR HORSE SHOW
Pasadena Association Is In Flourish
Ing Condition and Ready for
EQUINE ExhIbitIon

AS the time for Pasadena's second
annual horse show approaches It will
be interesting to inquire into the be-
ginnings of an institution which prom
ises IN a short time to be as widely
known throughout the country as is the
now famous Rose Tournament
The first horse show was held a little
less than year ago and was fathered
| by the hOurishing organization known
MS the Tournament of Roses associa-
tion. Its success was astonishing In
| every way. Society smiled upon It and
some of the choicest of the great
stables of the country east and west
were represented among the entries.
tournament park proved too small
to contain In comfort the great crowd
Of people who came to see and be seen.
The entries were crowded with the
proudest horsehesh the country affords
and the story of the show went broad
cast as another living advertisement Of
the marvels Of Pasadena and its won
derful climate.
on the evening of the last day OF this
show, April s, the officers were BAN
quoted by Manager d. M. Linnard at
the Hotel Maryland, and in the course
Of the informal toastmaking Mr.. Lin
nard suggested that the association
arrange a management of its own
association.
The suggestion met with favor, and
on April Ia, 1905, the present Southern
California Horse Show association Of
Pasadena" was formally organized.
The membership fee was fixed at s25
and it was declared that there should
be no annual dues, and fact not gen.
orally understood, no capital stock.
The articles Of Incorporation read
&c hn to 1,nII
be for the purpose OF forming q cor
poration under the laws of the state of
California for social purposes, not for
profit; that the purposes for which 1t Is
formed are to encourage the use Of fine
horses, and to that end to organize and
conduct horse shows and to exhibit
horses, vehicles and equipment used
with horses"
The following gentlemen were most
active in the work of organization and
may be looked upon as charter men,

Walter Raymond, John e. Marble,
