dual meeting between the Pasadena Y. C. A. and Occidental college to be held on March 4. The contestants are the pick of the two organizations and the meet promises to be of unusual Interest. La Casa guests and friends enjoyed a gay colonial party this evening, when costumes, decorations and dances were of colonial time. Among the young women especially interested were: Miss Paula Beauchamp, Miss May Schull, Miss Irene Gross Miss Mollie Crawford, Miss Iola Coulson, Miss Henrietta Theobald, Miss Fannie Goldsmith and Mrs. Elmer F. Woodbury. The four delegates to the state Y. M. C. A. convention left this afternoon for San Jose. They were R. L. Metcalf, M. A. Hall, Dr. Solon Briggs, Eaton T. Sams and George Braden. Friday evening the Pasadena Eagles are to go to San Bernardino to attend a celebration of that order there in which men of the fraternity from all over this part of the state will join. The First National Bank people are busy now moving both day and night, in order to be ready for business tomorrow morning. Workmen have been unpacking furniture and setting up the mahogany fixtures. It is expected to have everything in smooth running order by Saturday. Policeman O'Dell, who recently dislocated his shoulder, has been placed on the night desk until he is fully recovered, and Policeman Reynolds who has been on duty at the station at night, is to take the Colorado and Fair Oaks corner in the daytime, while Officer Wilkins is to take O'Dell's beat. Holiday Happenings Scores of Pasadena people went to Los Angeles to attend the Iowa picnic, the early morning cars being crowded with mery groups of friends. At the Lowe opera house this afternon a large attendance gathered to see the fascinating Spanish dances, the entertainment being a repetition of the program arranged by the Shakespeare club in January. Several added attractions made the afternoon a pleasant one, and the many children attending enjoyed the dances and songs greatly. The police gathered in a harvest of motor cycles and automobiles today, the holiday bringing out more than usual. William Williams, G. B. Thompson and Frank Burgay were arrested for speeding their motor cycles beyond the pace legal in the city, and four or five automobile drivers will be arrested tomorrow for the same offense. Eliza Washington of East Orange Grove avenue, who was attempting to celebrate fitly the day, got so drunk that one of her long-suffering neighbors came down town and swore out a warrant for her arrest on the charge of disturbing the peace. She was placed in the woman's department of the jail, where she will remain until she goes before Justice Congdon tomorrow. Peter Savart tonight reported to the police that during his absence from his room in a Union street boarding house he was robbed of $60, which he had left in a drawer in his room. No trace of the thief has yet been found.
