The Directors are pleased to announce that, at an early day, 

 the members of this Academy and their friends will have the 

 rare opportunity of being entertained at a function of a character 

 such as, at no time, has been presented in the City of Los An- 

 geles. 



A gentleman — a Native Son of the Golden West — who has 

 devoted many years of intense investigation of the history of our 

 Pacific Coast, and whose great and invaluable Library, contain- 

 ing the very crcme de la creme of literature and art relating to 

 the State of California, excelled by none, except the Bancroft 

 collection, has prepared for us an intellectual symposium of an 

 imique character. His most rare accumulation of the beautiful 

 etchings of the artist Ford and many other exquisite prints and 

 engravings, representing the Missions, their patron Saints, the 

 Presidios, earliest cities, California scenery and the customs of 

 her first settlers, have been photographed upon slides for the 

 lantern, and these, with the relation of his boyhood experiences 

 during the early days, before the advent of the Argonauts had 

 obhterated the recollection of the romances of this land of the 

 vine, the fig, the orange and the mocking-bird, will alTord us an 

 entertainment such as probably, there are none other in our 

 midst can equal.
