reason to feel proud OF the excellen,
manner in Which the event went off.
By close estimate, based upon the
eale OF tickets on the grounds, there
could not have been less than 5000 peo-
pie present when the final review ci
the parade was made at the park, prior
to awarding prizes to those fortunate
enough to win them.
While the crowd was naturally made
up largely OF citizens from Pasadena
there was large attendance from Los
Angeles and neighboring places, the
morning trains from the city being
crowded with interested sight seers.
The day, while not as clear as could
have been wished for. was nevertheless
excellent for outdoor sports. as the
large crowd which gathered at Califor-
MIA street attested. Early in the morn
ing the streets were alive with gaily
decor ated turnouts. ranging from a d og
cart TO a tallyho coach, but each bearing
something in the way of decorations, to
add to the general festivities of the day.
The business houses were also extens-
lively decorated, and the town put on q
THE PARADE.
The center of all attraction during
the morning, of course, was the parade,
for much preparation had been made
for several weeks past.
ProftingEby the experience OF past
years every detail for the day had been
carefully arranged for and all confusion
avoided. The parade was generally
conceded to far surpass any effort OF
previous years, both in point OF artistic
beauty and number of vehicles entered.
The lavish outlay in decorations and
the excellent taste used in most cases
produced a charming spectacle, COM
5;ssea V --iitth iitth the flowers, music and
handsome costumes, that will not easily
be forgotten by one fortunate enough to
witness it.
The parade formed on Orange Grove
avenue at 8 q. M, with the right wing
resting on Colorado street, and shortly
after took up the line of march down
that street through the business center
OF town to Wilson avenue, thence south
to the park.
The crowd which thronged either
side OF the street along the line of march
was by no means an uninteresting part
OF the brilliant spectacle presented to
the onlookers. A detailed description
OF each feature of the parade, much So
it could be desired, is rem
dered impossible by space limita-
tion, but q few OF the leading
features may be outlined as they ap-
pesred while filing for inspection be-
