PASADENA, Dec. 2S.-(Regular Cor
respondence) President NJ. H. Weight
Of the Tournament of Roses association
has issued the following proclamation:
The Tournament of Roses Association
70 All of the People of Pasadena: Greet
ing: BY virtue OF my position through
the suffrage of the members of the Tour
nanent of Roses association and the OBJ
ligation 1t implies, hereby call your at
tention to the important fact that our
annual New Years day floral parade and
afternoon entertainment is rapidly ap-
preaching, and it should be the earnest
endeayor of every citizen to do justice
to the city and to himself by assisting
in the production of creditable and
worthy exhibition.
Pasadena is thoroughly fortunate in
having so thoroughly established the
custom through nine successive years.
Nowhere else is there known to be held
celebration of floral character on the
first day of each year. Southern Cali
fornia and the state at large readily con-
cedes the day to Pasadena, knowing and
fully admitting that the title rests upon
the record Of past events, and being con-
tent to share with the city the pleasures
and qualification it extends to all. The
officers and directors of the association
are working diligently to equal the tour
uaments of the past and to again thrill
the visitor with a knowledge of our nat
ural surroundings and to flash over the
east and the world the fact that duty
has been performed to the city and man
kind.
The cordial and active support of every
citizen is solicited, particularly in behalf
of the parade. in so far as gathering
flowers, arranging and assisting in the
decoration of family carriages, saddle
horses, emblems, etc. Every one lend
hand with will, either upon your own
or your neighbors conveyance.
1t is helpful to the city and creditable
to the individual to perform a public duty
of such Importance. United action will
glorify Pasadena.
say unto you, one and all, prove your
faith in the tournament by your works,
and consider the thought that We're a
frost to annihilate every shrub and fiow-
er. would it gain the city anything to lay
down our arms and quit? Flowers are
really plentiful still and all kinds of ever
green in great profusion scattered about.
Let civic pride prompt every citizen to
do his duty. and all will be well. Re-
spectfully submitted,
w. H. WEIGHT.
