byterian church, across! the street.
was thrown open and aarge num
ber of injured were giv;n: first aid
by physicians called I from t ho

At the receiving hospital where
I but ten or twelve peesons could ,
be treated at one time, it was
necessary to divert the! cars to tho
Pasadena hospital, the! only, iasti-
tutlon of its kind inl Pasadena."
Calls for assistance wfcre sent to
1 Los Angeles and nearby towns and
ambulances "Were soon forthcom
ing with physicians and nurses.
'At the Pasadena hospital where
accommodations: tor sach a large
number of patients were not avail
able, a truck was send to a furni
ture house j for : mattresses and
within .'half an hour the . balls of
fhe hospital -were covered with
injured persona lying on the mat
tresses."' ' " -r.' '
' A 'large, portion of jthaijured
were elderly persons fend women
and children' who hadl been given
the' preference in seatslfrom which
the best view1 could b
obtained.
A. warm sunny day had resulted
in the turning out of rone of the
greatest . throngs that ever wit
nessed : a Tournament of Roses
parade' ; and many! temporary
standards' were erected on vacant
lota and on front lawns in which
seats were sold to itnose wno
winted the best possible view.
Of those injured nany were
from other towns an4 cities. It
was virtually impossible to securo
aft accurate check ofialrthe vic
tims," many of -Whom fwere takeu
directly to Los Angeles when it
was evident that the fbospltal fa
cilities here were ovef taxed.
