The Winners at the Pasadena CeIe-
bration.


bration.
The third annual tournament of roses
was held under the auspices of the Val
ley Hunt at Pasadena yesterday. 1t
was an ideal day for such meeting, and
Pasadena and surrounding country, as
well as Los Angeles, turned out in
formidable ARRAY.
Everybody affected the "horsey" and
everything was given a similar ap-
pearance. All the available equipages
OF the country were obtained by the en-
thusiasts and many were trimmed with
evefgreens, peppers and roses. Owing
probably to the late wind storm having
destroyed the majority of the flowers,
the meet partook of tournament of
roses only in name.
From early dawn the participants be-
gan to prepare for the important event,
and by 10 80 a. m. all was in readiness
for the grand parade.
There appeared but a few decorated to
compete in the match, but those that
took part were models of artistic trim
ming. A prescribed line of march
through the handsomest parts of the
town was followed, and then the gay
cavalcade started for the new park.
The half-mie course was very heavy
and slow, the club having just completed
it short time before. A grand stand
had been erected, and it was crowded
with the swells who came afoot, while
along the track were countless turnouts,
some with decorations, and all crowded
with lovely young ladies and brave gal
lants.
There were between 1000 and 5000 in
terested spectators present, and but few
left before the final heat. Lunch was
served on the grounds, but all
seemed to be too excited to eat,
and the inner man was most generally
neglected.
The races were not of any considerable
note, but at times were exciting and
other times ludicrous. There was lack
of proper management, for the crowd
was allowed to wander at random,
whenever and wherever it chose to ON
the track, and the riders were conse-
quentlv much hampered.
DR.. F. f. Rowland was most excel
lent master of ceremonies, and after the
crowd had left the field his ge.ltlemanly
interference prevented rough and tum-
BILE fight.
An attempt to revive the old Spanish
sports met with partial success. in the
ring tourney Mr.. Arturo Bardini got
eight rings in four charges, and Mr.. B.
A. Lugo and Whit Elliott both made sew
en- rings in the four charges. The results
