morning in a couple of hours after a
pouring rain had stopped. 1t wound its
way through streets not quite so closely
crowded as usual, but the eastern
visitor and old resident alike would
never have known that the event had

Because of a soft track the afternoon
program of sports at Tournament park
had to be postponed for one week. 1t
is expected that half holiday will be
| declared in Pasadena for the occasion,
and the decision of the committee to
! secure one or more aeroplanes, in
| addition to the Roman chariot race and
| other sports, is expected to bring a
large crowd of outsiders.

| as good as ever, but 1t was bigger than
ever, despite the fact that many out
side entries and even some from Pasa-
denG withdrew because of bad weather.

entries, and among them were floats
which have never been surpassed in
any California pageant.
