PASADENA, Dec. 25.-(Regular Cor
respondence) Those having in hand
the tournament of roses preparations
for New Year are going ahead with the
work and announce that despite the cold
snap the flower display this year will
be no less grand than at previous years.
President Weight of the executive COM
mittee speaks enthusiastically of the
prospects and urges everyone to take
an active interest.
New Years day is close upon us. The
day of all the days of the year, when the
whole people accept the opportunity to
arouse themselves to a realization of the
general advantages to Pasadena and to
Southern California by holding an an
nual outdoor floral exhibition. The duty
OF every citizen to the cause is clearly
understood and accepted. When the
summer flower attempts to live over into
the following year and is quietly nipped
by the frost, public attention is diverted
to the lovely evergreens, so plentlful,
and to those buds and blossoms that
thrive and look beautiful in January.
There is no lack of interest and pub
lie spirit in the tournament of roses TO
be held on January 1st, 1898.
