DRIVING CLUB
FOR PASADENA
PLAN TO ENTERTAIN WINTER
TOURISTS
Business Men Of Crown City to Give
Complimentary Banquet to Di-
reetors of Successful Tours
nament Of Roses
Special to The Herald

with the thought of repeating the
chariot races on Washlngton's birth
day, there has today arisen the outlines
of a plan TO entertain in some regular
way, by a series of races and other
sports, the many tourists who come
each winter to the city.
The whole matter Is still undeveloped,
but the deep interest taken in the
races, and the tentative plan of re-
peating them at an early date. make
the plan seem practicable. In all prob
ability the plan win take the form
of driving club which tourists at the
large hotels, residents who have fine
horses and others who are fond of
horses may join a series of races at the
park.
This would be a source Of general
amusement for the guests of the city
and the plan would involve very little
cost D. w. Herlihy, president of the
board of trade, approves Of the plan.
To Honor Directors
As an evidence of their appreciation
of the fine showing made for the city
of Pasadena ON Monday through the
Tournament of Roses, the merchants
of the city will tender to the executive
committee of the association a compli
mentary banquet at Hotel Maryland
next Monday evening.
The heavy work of the tournament
arrangements really fell on the shoul-
ders of few men, and the thought of
recognizing this in some public way
originated yesterday with some of the
leading business men.
One hundred and fifty of the repre-
sentative business men of the city will
attend, together with the directors of
the association. There will be a toast
master, and several speakers upon the
various phases of the tournament and
its effect upon the city.

city. He is survived by his widow,

want Automoplle sweeper
The problem of clean streets has
been vexing the city fathers for some
time. There is now a proposition to
purchase an automobile sweeper which
does the work at the rate of four miles
an hour without noise or dust, and
takes up not only all the Girt and dust,
but objects as large as brick.
How best to clean the pavements in
the center of the city is becoming more
and more a problem to be studied out
by the municipal officials. The dry
sweeping seems most satisfactory plan,
and the very best sweeper is now being
diligently sought.
Rush Sewer Connections
Acting in accordance with a request
from the mayors office, the police have
within the past two weeks made a
personal visit to every house in the
city where it was suspected that the
sewer connection had not been made.
notifying the householders that such
sewer connections must be made at
once.
A time limit of twenty days has been
given and in consequence of this police
notice there have been scores of sewer
permits taken out within the past few
days. These permits from the street
superintendent's office allow of the dig
ging up of as much OF the street as is
necessary, and numbers accurately
the sewer connections made.
There was IA general agitation made
in regard to sewer connections during
the recent diphtheria scare on the east
side.
