fire department and fine body of men
belonging to the police department
brought up the finish Of the long line.
AS the procession wendell its long

lining the streets either followed or made

safe to say that not one of the vast
gathering suffered because of hunger a,
any time during the day.
Crowd Estimated at 10000
How many persons visited the Crown

a fair estimate would place the great
gathering which had reached vantage
places by the time the parade started at
10000. OF this number, fully 10000 visited
Tournament park to witness the sports
in the afternoon.
These events were made up of exciting
chariot races, feats in horsemanship and
exhibitions by the Vaquero club mem
bers.

night at the Hotel Green to take part
In the annual ball In honor of the queen

The ball was marked with the simplicity
that prevailed throughout the day Eight

these a majority were accepted, and the
occasion marked becoming finale to the
greatest floral tournament in the history
of Pasadena.

The body of the vehicle was covered
with white lilies and greenery.

was made to elaborate, the turnout was
beautiful in its simplicity, the wish Oh
