TO USE CARMELITA
GARDEN IN EVENING
ATHLETIC SPORTS WILL BE
HELD AT NIGHT
Playground to Be Converted Into
Athletic Center for Young Men
After Their Days Work
Is Done
Especial to The Herald.l

PASADENA, July 16.-Plans for
turning the Carmelita Garden play
ground into a night recreation center
for young men, and particularly those
who are obliged to work all day, are
now being formulated, and will prob
ably be laid before the playground
commission at its next meeting.
The playground is just now being
fitted up, $500 worth of apparatus
having arrived this morning. Within
three weeks Pasadena will have one
of the finest Fairgrounds on the Paci-
fic coast.
In order not to encourage late hours
among the school children. it is ar
ranged that the playground shall be
closed every evening OF $3.50 o'clock.
Under the new plan, however, 1t is
proposed to illuminate the whole gar
den with arc lights, and to open 1t to
older persons in the evening.
Night Baseball Suggested
The success of night baseball at Gin
cinnati. on an illuminated diamond
has demonstrated that games are pos
sible at night as well as in the day
time, and the Southern California con-
ditions are particularly favorable for
active exercise at night, because 1t is
always cool.
The city now has its own electric
light plant, and the cost would be
little more than that of the arc lights.
It will not require a large number OF
arcs to illuminate the courts, because
they are grouped conveniently. There
is little doubt but that the playground
commission will adopt the idea, when
il is presented by the influential per
sons who are backing it,
