Alle tervarum mihi praeter omnes Angulus ridet


Know ye the land of the cedar and vine, Where the flowers ever blossom, the beams ever shine; Where the light wings of Zephyr, oppress'd with perfume, Wax faint o'er the gardens of Gul in her bloom; Where the citron and olive are fairest of fruit, And the voice of the mocking bird never is mute; Where the tints of the earth and the hues of the sky, In color though varied, in beauty may vie, And the purple of ocean is deepest in dye; Where the virgins are soft as the roses they twine, And all, save the spirit of man, is divine?

Alreface


INCE THE ORGANIZATION OF THIS SOCIETY, ONE HUNDRED AND TWENTY FIVE GENTLEMEN HAVE BEEN ADMITTED TO MEMBERSHIP. AT THE TIME OF THE PUBLICATION OF OUR LAST REGISTER, IN 1907, WE NUMBERED SIXTY THREE ACTIVE MEMBERS. SINCE THAT PERIOD WE HAVE ELECTED TWENTY AND LOST TEN, OUR PRESENT NUMBER BEING SEVENTY-THREE.


OF THESE TEN CASUALTIES, SIX WERE BY DEATH, THE OTHERS HAVING BEEN DROPPED FOR NON-PAYMENT OF THEIR INDEBTEDNESS TO THE SOCIETY.


THOSE, THE SOUND OF WHOSE VOICES HAS FOREVER BEEN STILLED, WERE WILLIAM ATHEARN HARTWELL, LATE CITY TREASURER OF LOS ANGELES; BRIGADIER GENERAL EDWIN BYRON ATWOOD, U. S. A .; BRIGADIER GENERAL JOHN GREEN BALLANCE, U. S. A .; STANLEY GRISWOLD WIGHT, JOIN CHARLES FREMONT HULL AND FRANKLIN WALTON MOORE; THE FIRST TWO OF WHOM WERE VALIANT SOLDIERS OF THE UNION ARMY DURING THE CIVIL WAR, AND GENERALS ATWOOD AND BALLANCE RECEIVED PROMO- TION DURING THE SPANISH AMERICAN WAR, GENERAL BALLANCE SUBSE- QUENTLY PARTICIPATING IN THE ARDUOUS CAMPAIGNS OF THE PHILIPPINE INSURRECTION,


THESE DEPARTED ASSOCIATES HAD SEVERALLY ACHIEVED DISTINCTION IN THE ARMY, IN SCIENTIFIC ATTAINMENTS, AND IN THE COMMERCIAL AND POLITICAL WORLD. WE ESTEEMED THEM ALL, AND THEIR NAMES HAVE BEEN PERPETUATED BY MEMORIALS, SPREAD UPON THE RECORDS OF THIS SOCIETY.


THE STRENUOUS EXECUTIVE ABILITY OF THE PRESIDENT HAS BEEN UNCEASINGLY ACTIVE FOR THE INTERESTS OF THES SOCIETY, AND THROUGH HIS PERSONAL ATTENTION AND ASSISTANCE IN PROPOSED PLANS FOR BETTERMENTS, A COMMODIOUS HALL, DOUBLE THE CAPACITY OF OUR LATE QUARTERS HAS BEEN SECURED IN THE SAN FERNANDO BUILDING, WHEREIN ARE PLACED OUR VALUABLE LIBRARY, NOW NUMBERING NEARLY ONE THOUSAND VOLUMES, OUR RECORDS AND NUMEROUS PICTURES OF DISTIN- GUISHED MEN AND HISTORIC PLACES, AND MANY SOUVENIRS OF ANCIENT EVENTS AND SOCIETY CELEBRATIONS.


IN 1892, THE NEW YORK SOCIETY PLACED UPON FRAUNCES' TAVERN A VERY BEAUTIFUL BRONZE TABLET COMMEMORATING THE FINAL LEAVE- TAKING OF WASHINGTON FROM THIS OFFICERS, AT THE CLOSE OF THE REVOLUTION. AFTER THE NEW YORK SOCIETY HAD ACQUIRED THE TITLE TO THAT HISTORIC BUILDING, BY MEANS OF THE MUNIFICENT BEQUEST OF ITS DECEASED PRESIDENT, FREDERICK SAMUEL TALLMADGE, A MORE ELABORATE TABLET, INCORPORATING A MEMORIAL TO PRESIDENT TALE- MADGE, WAS SUBSTITUTED, AND, THROUGH REPRESENTATIONS MADE TO MR. JAMES M. MONTGOMERY, HE SECURED THE OLD TABLET AS A GIFT TO THIS SOCIETY, AND IT NOW IS AFFIXED IN A CONSPICUOUS PLACE, ON THE WALL OF OUR HALL. IT IS A BEAUTIFUL WORK OF ART, WEIGHING ABOUT THREE HUNDRED POUNDS, AND PROBABLY UNSURPASSED IN DETAIL BY ANYTHING OF THE KIND ON THE PACIFIC COAST.


SINCE OUR REGISTER OF 1907, WE HAVE ISSUED TWO PUBLICATIONS,- AN ACCOUNT OF THE BANQUET GIVEN APRIL 21, 1908, BY OUR SOCIETY AND THE CALIFORNIA SOCIETY OF COLONIAL WARS, TO THE OFFICERS OF THE ATLANTIC FLEET, AND THE OTHER, A BIOGRAPHY OF THE LATE GENERAL JOHN GREEN BALLANCE.


IN THIS VOLUME WE PRESENT THE PORTRAITS OF MEMBERS WHICH HAVE NOT BEEN INCLUDED IN FORMER PUBLICATIONS, AND THE NAMES OF GENTLEMEN WHOM WE HAVE ACCEPTED SINCE SEPTEMBER, 1907, AND THEIR ANCESTORS. IN A FUTURE PUBLICATION WE SHALL RECITE THE MILITARY SERVICES OF THESE ANCESTORS, AS IT IS NOT NOW FEASIBLE TO INCLUDE THAT RELATION IN THIS WORK.


THE DIRECTORS MOST CORDIALLY AND EARNESTLY URGE ALL MEMBERS TO INSPECT OUR HALL AND ITS CONTENTS. THE ROOM HAS ALL THE FACILITIES OF A CLUB, AND IS A PLEASANT RESORT FOR SOCIAL GATHER. INGS AND HISTORICAL RESEARCH; AND CONVENIENT HEADQUARTERS FOR THOSE RESIDING AT A DISTANCE, UPON THEIR VESITS TO THIS CITY.
