Great Crowd Expected
Secretary Carey will be on the
grounds where the parade forms ready
to enter all who desire and give them
their places in line. The number and
character of the entries insure the sue
cess Of this important feature of the
tournament and indicate that there
will be no lack of flowers for decorat-
ing the equipages. Tournament Master
f. S. Allen stated tonight that every
thing points to the grandest tourna-
ment in the city'S history.
Arrangements are being made to
handle an enormous crowd. Street car
traffic along the line of march will
cease long before the parade moves,
electric cars from Los Angeles coming
10 further than Green street and dis.
charging their passengers there. Ropes
will be stretched across the side streets
and the crowd will not be allowed to
encfoach upon the pavement reserved
for the parade.
Chief of Police Pinkham has chosen
forty special policemen for the day in
addition to his regular force of twelve
men and will have the assistance Of
number of detectives from Los An
geles in preserving order and in look
ing after the gang of light fingered
gentry sure to mingle with the crowd.
1t should be remembered that the line
of march is long enough to allow the
largest crowd to see the parade COM
fortably if everybody does not try to
witness it from the sidewalks in the
two or three blocks of the business
section.
Snow on Mount Wilson
Today has been busy one for Man
aSe. $3.50. anu lis Assistants at the
new Wilson Peak hotel, the official
register showing tonight over 100
guests, most of them from Los An
geles and making the trip to the sum-
NIT of the mountain to watch the old
year out and the new year in from
that point of vantage.
The weather at that altitude tonight
is quite cold and there is about two
inches of snow on the ground about
the hotel. Some fifty guests enjoyed
the hospitality of the camp yesterday.
but most of these returned to the val
ley this morning, the present crowd
being mostly new arrivals.
