Visitors in Attendance

Pasademna, Cal, Jan. 1.-The Gath
annual Tournament of Roses of Pas
adena will go down in history of the
famous floral fetes of the Pacific coast
at which the federation of these events
was consummated. With the arrival
here this morning Of the Royal Rosar-
ians of Portland and the meeting to-
night of the Festivals Association
there was set in motion a movement
to consolidate all the big festivals
from Seattle to San Diego and knit
them into a cooperative unit. The
aim is eventually to make the coast
known throughout all the world as a
place where these unique and spectac-
ular events take place throughout the
year, from January to December.
Aside from this feature of the cele-
bration this year, the tournament has
numerous novel attractions. For the
first time the children of the public
schools participated in a variety of
floats typifying the melting pot Of
the nations" Scotch, Dutch, Spanish,
Chinese and ship Of state" typihed
the moulding of the races into the
American nation.
Some Beautiful Floats.
Another elaborate idea worked out
in a series of floats was the Tourney
of the Lily and the Rose" suggested
by Walter Cranes poem, Queen
Summer" Numerous floats were sent
from neighboring cities.
Harrison l. Drummond, local
banker, and Miss Jean French, a well
known society leader, as king and
queen of Already, rode in royal
barge" and presided at the sports in
Tournament park this afternoon.
These sports included chariot races
ard unique races between ostriches
and an elephant and camel, Stunts
by Indian actors from the moving pic
ture companies were feature also.
There were tremendous crowds on
the streets, four-car electric trains
bringing in thousands. 1t is estimated
that 100000 persons witnessed the
pageant and the sports.
In the evening there will be brill
liant ball at the Hotel Maryland as a
conclusion of the festival.

Early Greeks and Romans rode
horses bareback. They regarded 1t as
effeminate to ride in saddle. The
modern saddle, with pommel, crupper
and stirrups, was unknown to the an
clients. Nero gave out fancy coverings
to his cavalry, and the bareback riders
of the German forests used to laugh at
them. Saddles with trees came into
use in the fourth century, stirrups three
centuries later.

Lave you ever
asked yourself
what more you
could want in an
Automobile than
the Stu de bal ker
"25" gives you?

Run over in your mind the requi-
sites Of fine carreadiness for any
trip, mechanical efficiency, easy rid
ing qualities, power, speed, conven-
fence, economy and notice how per-
fectly the Studebaker "25" fuldlls
your mental picture.
Yet 1870 buys this car, complete
from silk mohair top to extra rim.
To find the superior of the "25"
in design and performance you must
60 far up the price scale Few cars
at any price possess the responsive
ness of the long stroke t25" motor,
and none is more easily controlled.
If You are seeking car Of moder-
ate size, in which every detail satis-
fies the most exacting, in which
weight is replaced by lightness, and
where maintenance costs are low,
if you have an idea that $1,000 would
about purchase such car, we would
say to you "Less than that" and
strongly urge you to look over the
Studebaker t25n.
