Every One Interested
Everybody in the city, from the
school children to the various author
lied committees, have taken an inter-
est i'm the tournament and have done
their part toward making the city at
tractive
Mayor waterhouse has promised that
he will see that the paved streets are
scrubbed so that there will be neither
mud nor dust and all teh city officials
will exert themselves to make their
guests as comfortable as possible in
all ways.
The highest art of the decorators will
be displayed at Tournament park
where the races are to take place
Flags and gay colored streamers will
1utter from the top of the grandstands
while the boxes in front will be bowers
Of color. The posts will be wrapped
with bunting and each booth will he
decorated with different shade. The
throne for the queen Of the tournament.
Mrs. Elmer r.. Woodbury., has not yet
been finished, but the decorators prom
Use that It will be beautiful. Around
the throne will be the ladies i'm waiting,
who include Misses Eleanor Kendrick,
Ethel Scott, Edna Foy, Georgia Parks,
Adelaide Salmon, Mary Craig, Elma
French, Florence Bland. Gavina Roe

c. M. Wilson, Gertrude Half. Charlie
Green, A. L. Patterson and Miss c. c.
Grows.
These will all have seats to match
their gowns in color. The sixteen
horses with their chariots and chario-
teers will also be gayly caprisoned and
altogether they will make a festival
scene.
Gen. Adna r. Choffee and his aides,
all in full uniform. will lead the parade
and the float bearing the queen and
her ladies in waiting will follow. 1t is
said that this float will surpass any Of
the others ever constructed for the
tournament. Miss Olga Nethersole will
be in the first division of the parade,
and Los Angeles, Venice, Santa Ana,
Long Beach, Ocean Park, ETC., have all
sent floats, The automobile division
will probably be very large and will be
one of the most novel features of the
parade.
In the afternoon the races will be
given at Tournament park, sixteen
horses racing, dragging chariot driven
by man in the full old Roman chario-
teer costume, and in the evening will
be the grand finale, the tournament
ball at Hotel Green, at which the queen
and her ladies in waiting will receive.
Plenty of Police
The utmost care has been taken to
guard against pickpockets and conf
dence men. Chief of Police Pinkham
has detailed fifty extra policemen to
be o nguard and also large number of
mingle with the crowds.
At Tournament park Detectives w.
Fray Freeman will be in charge with
forty picked men, and they have full
confidence that they can manage the
crowds.
Special excursion cars will be run all
day by the Huntington line from Los
Angeles. The Slauson avenue cars
will run direct to Pasadena from Sixth
and Main streets and the Mount Lowe
cars will run only to Pasadena. Four
additional ticket offices will be estab-
lished on Main street and at First and
Los Angeles street to relieve the
crowds at the station.
The advertising that the tournament
needs every year is enormous, but the
advertising it gives Pasadena is even
greater. The Pacific Electric company
has issued 10,000,000 posters and other
companies have done almost as much
One of the moving picture machine
companies will be on hand to take the
pictures and they will be sent all over
the east Several companies applied
for this right, but it was only allowed
to the one.
