ALL IS READY
FOR ROSE FETE
TOURNAMENT TO BE BIGGER
THAN EVER
Flowers Are Plentiful and the List Of
Entries Mar Surpasses That
of Any Previous
Year

Pasadena is taking on a gala appear
ance which promises to far surpass any
previous Tournament Of Roses when the
great day for the Crown City shall roll
around on January 1. The streets are
far more generously decorated this year
than on any similar date in the his
tory of the annual pageant, and by
Monday night all of the flowers which
will make the streets and entries in the
big parade attractive will be in place.
The recent rains and bright sun Of
Saturday served to bring out flowers
in profusion, and the absence of any
killing frost so far this year will make
blooms more plentiful than they have
been in the last three years. This fact
and the added one that by last night
there is a larger list of entries for the
parade than ever before in the history
OF the tournament, means that, weather
being propitious, the great floral show
will be the best ever.
The tournament ball on Tuesday
night at the Hotel Green is to be fit
ting climax to a great day, and the
men who will have charge of the big
function have already been named

rector, and the floor managers will be

Details of the Parade
The parade will form on South Or
ange Grove avenue and will move at
10:45, all not entered at that time being
disqualified. This rule will, for the first
time, be stringently enforced. This is
the most important departure in con-
nection with the formation of the pa
rade and was first announced in The
Herald by Grand Marshal Ralph Skill
len.
The parade will move east on Colo
rado street from Orange Grove to Fair
Oaks; south on Fair Oaks to Vine
yard; east on Vineyard to Raymond; /;
north on Raymond to Union; west on
Union to Fair Oaks; south on Fair
Oaks to Colorado; east on Colorado to
Mentor; south on Mentor to San Pas
quail; east on San Pasqual to the
tournament park.
This will mean that the parade will
wind a gigantic letter through the
business section of the city. Going
south on Mentor avenue instead of
Wilson is departure. The many wires
on Wilson avenue, one of which ruined
the beautiful high school float, is the
