PASADENA, Jan. 2.-Tomorrow nigh
at the Hotel Raymond 200 members Of the
Tournament of Roses association Will
gather for the annual banquet, at which
il is expected showers of congratulations
will fall upon the officials who so ably
conducted the affairs this year.
No fixed program for the banquef has
been outlined. as President Cary and
Secretary johnson today rested from the
fatigue of yesterdays strenuous duties
However, Pasadena's New YEATS fete,
both past and future, will be toasted by
well known members of the directorate
as well as by representative members OF
the rank and file.
The directors have yet to deal with the
task of. settling the financial anairs OF
the tournament. No official estimate can
vet be made of the receipts or whether
there will be a surplus The sale OF
tickets was in charge of George ii. Frost,
who has not yet figured up his accounts
and no settlement has been made with
the secretary and treasurer. However, IL
is expected Mr.. Frost will b ready to re-
port when called upon as soon as the ol-
rectors are ready to tAlFe up finances
1t is known the attendance TINS year
was larger than ever before, but TINS uoes
not insure a surplus, although the re-
ceipts are naturally larger However, II
is hoped by the officials handsome pai-
ance will be found in the treasury
While receipts are larger expenses are
heavier In order to isterest the schools
n total of $3.50 was advanced these insti-
tutions i'm addition 20 the prizes onered.
rrhe nrie LIST was larger this year by
$1,000. including tie $500 to be paid the
winner of the or and West special race.
The prizes for lhe regular chariot races
were also larger in ther aggregate.
6iIIs Coming In
MANY biIs are coming in to the score
tarv ans those who give no thought to
tbe IahJr involved in checking up the ac-
counts should not become impatient for
thef money. Several school principals
have already applied for the funds due on
sccount of the prizes and they have been
informed that as soon as the finances are
ali accounted for and are in shape to be
checked against the prizes will be handed
out.
With provision for paying all bills
against the Tournament association, re-
Enumeration for the hard working presi-
dent and secretary is not on the list. Last
year President Cary officiated as secre-
tary with Mrs. Johnson as assistant. This
year both were again in harness and 1t is
said the directors realize that something
should be done to reward them.
Last year the receipts were in the neigh
borhood of $4,000 and there was a small
deficit. Yesterday hundreds of people
were turned away from the park be-
cause they could not be accommodated.
Some plan may be evolved by which the
"a inrraagpd The
larger portion of the park is owned by
the city.
The Tournament association owns a
tract Immediately adjoining on the south
and east which it is intended to annex as
soon as the improvements needed are
financed.
1t has been President Cary's ambition
to derive a sufficient surplus from this
years receipts to start this much needed
improvement. During the present year
his plans may be worked out through
some feasible proposition.
