 Fog banks hid the snow mountain from the bay cities, but late in the day, word was sent forth and many persons climbed the trails and indulged in a real snow battle on the slopes.
 Reports from Merced told of the first snow storm since 1888, ground and buildings being covered by a white mantle. Late in the day, however, the snow began to melt when the cold spell of the last three days was broken.
 Three inches at Modesto, five at Chico and Fresno and the first sleigh ing in B years at Stockton were among other reports from different parts of the state. Although snow and cold harmed many shade trees. no damage to citrus fruits was reported.
 Generally throughout the state, points visited by snow today also re- ceived q little rain later on and in most places the temperature moderated con
