VALUABLE ACRES
ARE DECLINED
PARK COMMISSIONERS REFUSE
TO ACCEPT LAND
Make Pica That Tender Wai Made
■ Too Late to Include In Budget.
Now City Loses the
Tho park commissioners yesterday
morning finally refused to accept the
six-tiers tract on Btephenson avenue
offered by prominent citizens for park
purposes.
In making this decision the park
commlsilonera gave as their excuse the
lack of money for the use of their de
partment. They had not expected to
accept a park during: the year and had
made no provision for fitting up a park
In I the annual appropriation they had
asked of the council.
As these men tendered this tract
to - the park commission before the
commission's annual budget was made
up and made this early tender In order
that the commission might includa such
expenses as would be attached to it
when the estimate for the year was
made up, this excuse, city hall veterans
remarked, appears lame and halting.
t . Ideal Sunken Garden
The tract of land offered by the land
owners Is a beautiful canyon— a bit of
nature In pristine glory— and accord
ing to park experts and landscape
gardeners could have been made one
of the most attractive sunken gardens
to be found anywhere.
The nucleus for such a garden was
offered by "Doc" Houghton when he
pleaded with the park commission to
accept his collection of cacti, acknowl
edged to be the fifth best collection in
tho world, to be placed in Pioneer park,
as It was planned to call the new pnrk.
Personal enmity entertained by mem
bers of the commission for Houghton
Induced them to decline the free offer
•with an alacrity that gave 'the impres
sion- they were glad to hurt his feel
ings, even at the expense of what ap
peared to be the city's interests.
Houghton Not Hurt
Houghton's feelings might have been
hurt by the refusal of the park board
to accept his offer, but his pocketbook
■wasn't injured, as a few days ago he
sold /the entire collection to Arthur
Letts for a good, round sum. ■ Mr.
Letts will use the cacti to decorate his
beautiful .Hollywood home, and thus
valuable botanical specimens that Los
Angeles might have had free for the
taking and that might nave been' ap
preciated by all the people have been
forever lost.-
Had the park commission shown a
disposition to accept the land offered
by the business men Treasurer Work
man, who owna several acres ad
joining.- the . proffered property, had
Intended to offer his land to be added
to the other i pieces, and thus a park
of about ten acres would have come
Into the possession of Los Angeles ab
solutely free of cost.
"It will Increase the value of prop
erty In the neighborhood and that - Is
the only reason It Isl, offered to us-,"
said one commissioner. 'seemingly for
getting that an enhancement in the
, value ' of - real estate anywhere in the
■city means a consequent advance In
the amtmnt of taxes paid Into the city
treasury and with more money in the
treasury a larger appropriation
for the park department .

DULL CARE IS BANISHED
BY GROCERS AND CLERKS
Full Day of Pleasure Enjoyed at Playa del Iloy
by the Retail Men, Their Families
ond Their Friends
With their faces beaming with Joy
and capering and dancing like school
boys with the prospect of an outing,
fully 1000 members of the Southern
California Retail Grocers' association,
with their wlvea and children j and
guests, assembled at the Fourth street
station of ■ the Los Angeles-Pacific
Railroad company yesterday morning
to start on their eighth annual outing
to the beach.
/ For the last two years the grounds
picked for these annual celebrations
were at Venice or Ocean Park, ,but
contrary to this rule the committee for
1908 made arrangements for the day's
outing at Playa del Hey.
Some plcknlcliors, carrying boxes,
others baskets and nt lll others noth
ing at all, men and families, delighted
at the prospect of a day of pleasure
and enjoyment gathered, slapping each
other jon the back and telling of old
time experiences. Friends and fellow
workmen of many years met and spent
a merry day.
Take In All Amusements
The large and beautiful skating rink,
the bath house and all other places of
amusement were open to the picnick
ers, who spent an enjoyable day, some
of them bathing and others using the
rink that was open free of charge to
them, and old friends 'united with the
joy of other days showing In their
eyes.
Quite a unique program of amateur
sports was made . out in advance, open
to all that cared to Join in the swim
ming, running and other races. In
addition to this prizes ranging in value
from $300 to a pair of shoes were do
nated to stir things up and enliven In
terest in the competition for the
premiums. ; .-
W. C. ' I^ongstreth, chairman of the
committee for the arrangement of
games, had no trouble In pulling off
some of the best events that have hap
pened in the amateur line for quite a
while.
Grocers Win at Baseball
- In the morning a^baseball game had
been arranged between the grocers and
salesmen, in which the grocers proved
the victors by a score of 6 to 2.
To add to this scene of gay festivity,
the Hollywood Christian . Sunday
school held Its annual picnic at the
same placfe, and the crowds of children
and young folk mingled with the older
ones, skating, swimming and taking as
much If not more Interest In the" sport
than 'he older ones.
At 9 In the morning the big doors of
the rink were thrown open. The people
poured in and soon filled the floor to an
almost overcrowded point.
Clerks- Capture Rich Prizes
During the afternoon the contests for
the prizes offered by prominent Los
Angeles business, men were competed
for and many interesting and laugh
able feats were performed. .
The highest., prizes offered. were" $300
and $200 cash • for clerks who could
make the -best time in a rowing race.
They were taken by Sederberg and
Reed, respectively.
Later in the afternoon . after the
sporting events were over the crowd re
turned to the beach, where a Bmall
part of Coney Island had! been set up.
In one place a large canvas had been
stretched with a 'hole . in. the . center
large enough for a man to put his head
through. Standings behind and with
his head through the aperture was a
negro of giant build. .'"' ■. . "
, About twenty feet ' In front of this
was a » railing, and another negro in
vited anyone to try and 'hit his com
panion on the head with two eggs, for
■which he charged 25 cents. For -an
hour the crowd stood around this show,
watching different ! people endeavoring
to "hit the nigger baby." j
In the evening a display of fireworks
was given from the northern side of
the lagoon, showing clearly against the
black sky. This . was done under the
direction of W. A. Pierce.
Until a late hour the crowd stayed
and continued to amuse themselves
with the pleasures that they have but
so few opportunities to enjoy.
The only occurrence that marred the
pleasure of the day was a difficulty be
tween rival trading stamp concerns,
and trouble only was averted by the
Playa del Rey authorities.
Grocers vs. Salesmen
The first contest on the program was
the baseball game played between the
grocers and the salesmen. The game

NEW YORK, Aug. 9.— Because guests
in the upper stories of the Gregorian
hotel, at 42 to 46 West Thirty-fifth
street, complained about Joyful but un
seemly sounds of revelry at all hours
of the night, especially after midnight,
In the old fashioned brownstone house
at No. 46, Policemen Allen and Buck
made a raid upon the temporary
tramps' haven at midnight last night,
found there three men in sweet sleep,
and locked them up In the Tenderloin
station as vagrants. The prisoners did
not object to being called that.
The old house is goon to be torn down
to make room for a business building.
Its rear has already been dismantled.
The people In the Gregorian noticed
lights in the house. They could see a
man, not' of Fifth avenue, rush forth
from the back door at regular intervals
with a can, going in the direction of
a Sixth avenue saloon. They heard
songs, and not all of the voices were
male, though bass and baritone pre
dominated in the choruses.
It Bounded to the upper Oregorlans ns
If the singers numbered twenty-five,
but the police found only three last
night. It was explained that the hour
was too early for the assembling of all
the temporary of No. 46.
The flrst man discovered was lying
on the dining/ room floor on a I bed of
newspapers. He yawned, said his name
was William Hine, and arose to adjust
his necktie. I Two men found in ' upper
rooms on similar beds said they were
Joseph Foster and Joseph Flannagan.
They gave addresses at | the station,
after scratching their heads to try to
remember them. They also said that
ir\ the daytime .they worked at wood
cutting, seeking the flrst place they can
find at night to la.y their heavy heads.
The rear parlor on the second floor
had been ■ arranged ■■ for an assembly
room. Two ancient chairs were 'there
and many old wooden boxes. The walls
were covered' with pictures from the
Police Gazette. The largest were of
Harry Thaw and Evelyn Nesblt. . i
The tolling wood cutters had fixed UP
the old fashioned kitchen .' as a grill '
room. Across the grate were two iron
bars for roasting. A piece of butter In
a tin can had, thoughtfully been set in
a : larger t can .of cold water. » Strung "

bleachers, and cheer after cheer arone
from the rooters as they saw their

made, Spies of the grocers made a good
two-bagger in the third Inning, scoring
two runs, , «
Only one run had been mode- before
the two were scored in the third, this
one being made in the first. The gro
cers played a good game from start

hit B. Bodkin, who did the slab work
for the grocers. Bodkin pitched a hard
ball to hit. the salesmen fanning the air
lime and again.

about 11:30 because all the other con
tests were to follow, none being run off
during the morning. The game was
umpired by Eugene Wilson.

last night It was not decided who had
won the prize for grocers selling the
most tickets owing to the fact that some
of the members had not turned in a
report.

most tickets was a hat, donated by the
