FREE TICKETS TO
UNIQUE BARBECUE
SUNDAY, APRIL 7, DAY OF RE-
CEPTI0N FEAST
Entertainment Given by the orlder-
HanIlton-osw Company at the
Opening Of Beautiful Man.
chester Heights Tract

There is scarcely any form of enter
tainment more typical of the Land Of
Sunshine than the barbecue as man
aged under the old Spanish regime,
nowadays, and the fact is deeply re-
gretted. A genuine Spanish barbecue
Is merely a connecting link between
the past and present. AS an event It
is sufficiently rare to make the oppor-
tunity of attending one privilege to
be treasured and taken advantage Of
at any cost.
It was this fact that led the Grider-
Hamilton Oswald company in casting
abount for a fitting program for the
opening of their new tract, Manchester
Heights, to arrange for a barbecue
after the old Spanish method for the
delectation of those taking advantage
of their free excursion on Sunday,
April 7.
5000 Free Tickets Provided
The plan has grown to large dimen-
sions and elaborate details. The COM
pany has purchased five thousand tick
cts to give free transportation to the
public and at least that number OF
people will doubtless be in attendance.
Moore's Fidelia concert band of four
teen pieces will furnishe music all
day.
Manchester Heights is on the south-
west corner of Vermont and Manches-
ter avenues, and transportation will be
supplied by the Gardena cars of the
Los Angeles & Redondo electric rail-
way. Numerous special cars will run
all day Sunday, starting from Second
and Spring streets and opposite the
office of the Grider-H r-Hamiton-Os Oswald
company, and the free round trip tick
cts will also be good on any of the
regular Gardena cars.
The barbecue will be a notable oc-
casion. An S00-pound steer from the
Hauser Packing company will be the
"piece de resistance" 1t will be bar
becued under the able direction of Jose
Ybarra, who has long been noted for
his skill upon such occasions. Bread
will come from the National bakery,
A. Folk proprietor, and there will be
an ample supply of "fixings'' of the
most appetizing sort.
/ Barbecue Manager
John G. Althouse will act as general
manager of the barbecue, which in
itself is ample assurance that the vis-
itors win be well taken care of.
The occasion will be one that no one,
especially those with an eye to the
things which lent such charm to the
Southern California of a few decades
ago, can afford to miss. Every provis-
ion possible will be made for the COM
fort and accommodation of the multi
tude. With good weather it is certain
that every one of the five thousand
tickets provided will be used. Due an
nouncement of details will appear in
the advertisements of the Grider-Ham-
n-Oswald company.
Everybody is expected to bring his
family and his friends, and visitors in
Southern California will be especially
welcome as the occasion will give them
an opportunity to see at close range a
| festal occasion that is becoming more
and more rare as the years go by.
