SCENES ABOUT THE BOOTHS.
Yesterday Evenings Entertain
ment - Good Financial
Returns.

Yesterday was an eventful day
within the Flower Festival building,
for during the afternoon it was visited
by all OF the children of the Catholic
Orphans Home. The little ones were
delighted with their treat and when
the liberality of Mr.. John f. Platter
presented them with box of candy
and plate of ice-cream each their
pleasure knew no bounds. During
the morning and afternoon the num-
ber of visitors recorded at the door
was quite large and the evening
found the hall as we'll filed as
usual. The entertainment was open
ed by performance of aesthetic
maidens under the direction of Miss
Leila Bried which was a very enter
tanning and we'll played effort. 1t was
followed by drill of the Seventh In
fantry Battalion, N. G. G. Major w.
H. Fl. Russell commanding whicn
was executed with the martial pre-
cision that would be expected from
that company. The orchestra then
moved their quarters on to the stage
and the sight-seers were left to their
own devices.
The Santa Monica booth looks more
handsome than ever since its redec-
Grafton and reflects great crediE on Mr..
s. Tyler, its designer, and executor.
The display OF flowers is very choice
| and is striking evidence of the won
\ drous fertility and beauties of the
31place where they are produced.
Snf The Anaheim booth 90, is worthy
? Yof prolonged visit. The ladies in
y charge have kept their exhibit in
wondrous order, and are determined
that it shall be in the front rank when
the prizes are awarded. The variety
of flowers is one of the chief features
of interest, proving indubitatly that
the place of their production has re-
ceived generous shower OF natures
gifts.
Compton sends up bounteous sup
ply OF milk each day to the milk
shake booth, and those who sample it
never fail to return again and again.
Fifty-fve varieties OF beautiful wild
flowers are displayed in the booth
bearing that name, and under their
new albau canopy are much admired.
The pink and pansy booth is always
to the front with something new and
is now embellished with a number of
floral designs made in the shape of
maltese cross, heart, crescent, fan,
star and large cornucopia.
The rich colors of the geranium
which it is kept captivate the eye,
and the ladies in charge are to be
complimented for their successful
work.
The ice-cream b 10Th, the Woman's
Exchange and the kindergarten are
places 80 we'll known to every visitor
that only mere mention Of them is
necessary to remind the reader that
visit to any of these places is always
amply rewarded.
Mr.. Lyons sent in another hand
some set piece yesterday, designed for
a dinner table. It was placed just
near the main entrance, and was sur
rounded all the evening by throng
Of entranced admirers.
