i PASADENA, March 6.— Late this af
ternoon the director! of the Southern
California. Horse Show association an
nounced that If the weather is rainy In
the morning (Thursday) and threaten
ing In the afterrtoon the opening of the
show will be postponed until Friday
morning at it o'clock. if postponement
is necessary the events scheduled for
Thursday will be run off Friday morn
ing.
The opening day Is planned to have
a particularly good program of events.
California bred roadsters and the wo
men's hunting classes seem destined to
prove the most popular. In all events
handsome cups and other prizes have
been hung up.
The events scheduled for this after
noon, If it does not rain, are: Califor
nia bred roadsters, single; harness
horses, pairs; three-gated saddle horses,
roadsters, single; harness horses, pairs
and appointments; Shetland stallions,
California bred horses, pairs; harness
horses, road fours and appointments;
coach stations, shown to lead; wo
men's, hunters, runabouts. ' *
The crowd at the . horse show often
ls dissatisfied with the" decision In
classes In which apolntments are fig
ured In. Appointments of course Include
the vehicle to which the horse or horses
are hitched as well as the harness. All
the details - must be in perfect accord
with the class, and many a horse who
has captured the hearts of the specta
tors loses out because his master did
not suitably equip him for the event.
This evening the directors of the as
sociation, the Hi'! !rlb of trie exhibition
ring and the judge* for the several
events are guests of Benjamin Blossom
at his handsome home on South Orange
Grove avenue. After an elaborate din
ner the men. who have worked to make
the third annual show In Pasadena
which, Incidentally, Is the last one for
the Crown city for two years, a sue
cess talked over final details.
lt Is the opinion of all the officials
that the show this year will be far
better than any yet held In the,state,
lf it does not rain. More and finer
cups than ever before have been hung
up and the list of entries Is probably
the largest of any show yet held.
The entry list will not be announced
until the first event 'a called, be that
this afternoon, Friday morning or later.
lr Is always the object to keep this
list quiet so that those in certain
classes may not know with whom they
will compete. It is feared that If a
competitor with only a moderate chance
of success should learn that some
famous horse is entered in the class In
which he is to compete, he might with
draw.
This year - the Los Angeles - people
win have a better chance to get to the
horse show than ever before, for it is
the first time In the history of the show
that a car line from Los Angeles has
run anywhere near the grounds. This
year one of the handiest ways to reach
Tournament park from Los Angeles
will be via the Wentworth cars, and
many will undoubtedly choose that
route. . . . .
-This year the sale of boxes in the
grand stand has been unusually large
and the event will be more of a society
one even than the ones held In past
years. The grand stand has been re
arranged for the occasion and aisles
have been left so that it wil be easier
to move about from part to part of the
stand.
The big hotels have reserved an un
usually large number of boxes and
seats for their guests and as the horses
centerede entered this year are even more classy
than they were last year, the event will
undoubtedly be one of the most marked
successes of any of the many success
ful shows given in Pasadena. ,
PARK IMPROVEMENT PLAN
MEETS WITH CRITICISM
Special to The Herald.
SANTA MONICA, March 6.— The in
tention of the board of city trustees
to spend $2200 In making improvement
at Linda Vista park has called forth
unfavorable comment from several
quarter*, the contention being made
that the plans for the work should be
drawn by a practicing landscape arch
itect and not by the city engineer as
has been arranged for.
H. Rowland Lee, a noted landscape
architect residing here, has conveyed
his sentiments on the subject to the
board In a lengthy comunication in
which he sayß In part:
"After a close inspection of the city
engineer's plans I notice that they
have not the slightest bearing on
landscape or park development, no
more than they have upon plans for a
fleet of sea-going vessels, nor do they
show any lines on which your honor
able body would be Justified in spend
ing $20, let alone the amount, $2200,
called for In the city engineer's re
port."
It is probable that the board will
take definite action In the matter of
the Improvements which will come up
for dlacusßlon at the next regular meet
ing of that body.

men* to Be Seen
A medley of lumber and barks was
the Bum total of the dog show opening
yesterday, and general disappointment
became manifest nt the sinek manngq
merit which allowed such ■ condition
of affairs to exist.
Owners experienced ft difficult time
as their entries had no place to rest
during the day and disconsolately
whined from their unseemly positions
near pillars or whatever tethering place
could be secured.
Benching supplies did not reach tho
city In time for erection, and as a re
sult those seeking admission beheld a
bedlam of belated preparation.
A A force of workmen was busy all day
and will continue until the benches
havo been completed.
So far as the entries themselves are
concerned, many handsome specimens
are to be seen, especially among the
collies and Boston terriers.
Very little was accomplished In the
way of Judging owing to the confusion.
Naturally the animals were restive
and scarcely at their best. '

HARVARD PRESIDENT
DENOUNCES ATHLETICS
By Associated Press.
BOSTON, March 6.— President C. W.
Eliot of Harvard university in his an
nual report, which will be delivered to
the board of overseers this week, main
tains that football, despite new rules,
remains an undesirable game for gen
tlemen to play, or multitudes of peo
ple to witness.
President Eliot declares that football
is properly described by the adjective,
"fierce" and that no game In which
there is wrecklessness In causing or re
ceiving bodily injuries Is fit for col
lege use. Basketball and hockey are
placed in the same class with football
and President Eliot advises that Inter
collegiate contests In any one sport be
limited to two games, all other games
to be between teams made up at Har
vard.
He also decries the "excesses of
cheerß," which characterize present In
tercollegiate contests as "absolutely
unnatural."

Special to The Herald.
NEW YORK, March 6.— Frelda Fell,
5 yeara of age, the daughter of Mr.

fronts on Rockaway road, near Ja
maica, had often watched her father
lather his face and scrape it with a
shiny ). hid and finally decided It
couldn't b; very hard to do, since he
did It so often. She made up her mind
to try it at the" first opportunity. Her
chance came yesterday. Father and
mother were busy elsewhere, leaving
Frelda and her sister, Louise, aged 3,
together.
"Say, Lou, -want to be saved?" ques
tioned the B-year-old.
"Ess," assented the child. She was
soon seated on a chair, a towel about
her throat and lather.
"It dets In my eyes," Louise pro
tested.
"Teep still. Daddy never hollers
when he B'aves heself," said the small
barber.
Louise subsided and her sister took
the razor and stropped it to her own
satisfaction if not to the betterment of
the etrop.
"Now we're all ready," she an
nounced, and the shaving begun.
At the first stroke of the razor a red
spot appeared on thu baby's cheek.
"Ouch!" she yelled. "Daddy never
saves dat way."
"Sit still!" commanded the barber.
"How you 'apect me to save if you
hollers?"
Another stroke and another red spot.
Louise clapped her hands over her
soapy and bloody face and ran scream
lngf to her mother. Mrs. Fell found the
barber wiping the blood-stained razor
upon her clean frock. Little Louise's
face was bandaged and the barber was
upanked.

abused her so that she telephoned to
us to come out and get her," said Mrs.

so when my husband wasn't looking I
slipped his revolver into the bosom of
my dress.
"When we got to the store my hus
band asked Ethel If she had her money.
She said she had $7. Casslus told her
that there was more than that due her.
Then Eskrldge spoke up and ordered
us out of the place.
" 'She has got all that's coming to
her,' he said.
" "All right,' said my husband and
turned away.
"Just then Eskridge hit him -with a
ten-pound weight and nearly broke his
head. Then he threw a weight at
Ethel. By that time I had my revolver
out and I shot at him. He turned and
threw another weight ct me and I
shot at him again.
"I am glad now I didn't hit him."
