Lowe Road May Be Absorbed

PASADENA, Dec. 3O-(Office of The
Herald, l6 West Colorado street; telephone
red 675) City officials request that on
Tournament day all citizens scatter them
.elves out over the line of march and not
clog the thoroughfares in the center of town.
This jamming of the people on the corners
of Fair Oaks and Raym1nd defeats its own
object by obstructing the view of the very
people who crowd. 1t mars the beauty of
the parade and absolutely prevents fine ma
neuvers of the Americas club and tle
wheelmen. The procession needs and should
be given the entire street from curb to
curb. There will be special mounted officers
who will endeavor to keep the crowds back,
but it is the duty of every citizen to help in
this by taking himself and as many others
as possible to more advantageous point OF
view further out of the CITY, No more beau
tiful spots could be selected for observation
than on the rise of Colorado street at either
end of town; on jne Orange Grove hill or
the Marengo hin. These points will give an
opportunity to see the parade for a long
distance each way, beside the front view.
Another request is that vehicles from side
streets along the line of march should not
intrude in the parade out of place, but re-
main until the procession is past and fall in
behind.
