newspaper booth in its new habili-
ments. Before, it was noted for its alb
sence of flowers, but now it mas be-
cone famous for the opposite reason,
and is one Of the most attractive hooks
in the place.
Everyone should register if only for
the sssce of exchanging a word with
the charming ladies in charge Of the
tome. The booth is handsomely ar
ranged with baskets of flowers and
Quaint and curious devices, contain
ing among its many novelties minia-
ture floral cabin, constructed by Mas
ters Joseph Bigelow and John and
Charles Adams.
California, the golden State" greets
the eye as the visitor passes down the
side Of the hall and he will surely
pause to admire the beauteous floral
ship and crown of roses, the handi-
iwork OF Mrs. Carey, the well-known
florist. A horseshoe of Califor-
MIA wildfowers and hanging bas'
KITS of fora are further additions
to tho beauteous scene.
Have you seen the Inglewood
booth ?" is a common expression
around the building, and this noto-
rety is easily explained when the
visitor arrives at the place described.
The hands that have arranged it are
surely no novices at the business, fo1
everything has been done with won
drous perfection. The three. .handle9
vase is now draped with pearly roses,
and is the cynosure Of all admiriEe
eyes.
Callas ad libitum Surround the soda
booth, which looks go tempting that
very few pass by without first slsking
their thirst with the il'e-cold draughts
to be obtained therein.
Tne collection of spring flowers de-
mands careful investigation, and
the stranger will never tire of exam
lining the tender and fragrant bios
SONS which are artistically.arra nged
about.
At the candy booth there is a nov
city which all should he certain to
see. 1t is in the shape OF a basket OF
flowers, and is composed entirely of
sweetmeats. 1t is conceded by all to
be most 1nasterly production, and
comes FROM the hand of Mr.. Demer,
who is also responsible for a number
OF the many other pretty things that
one sees here.
The children all seek for the pop
corn booth, which occupies promi-
nent posi- ion at the foot Of the stairs
and looks very dleen and neat.
San Fernando and Pacoima have
added golden leaves to their laurels
and have succeeded in drawing
upon themselves large share OF the
public attention. The dome OF the
mosque is covered with ifowers and
the interior is vast bed of wild flow
ers all of which are shorn from the
fertile plains Of the -SaniFernando val
ley.
1.-The Ruins OF Alhambra" look
enhancing, and the vast amount Of
labor expended ON this beautiful pro-
duction has not been wasted, as all
critics will concede. Fifty varieties
of roses adoFn the interior of the
and the splashing fountain
and rich-colored flowers bathed in the
cold, pNre light which is suspended
within throws a charm over the scene
which mere words cannot convey.
The Long Beach exhibit has gained
as prominent a, place in the memories
of all visitors as it occupies in relation
to the booths around land is well
worthy of the admiration it has
evoked. Tne ladies in charge of it
have worked with great zeal to keep
it in order and have succeeded in pre-
senting an exhibit that can vie with
any within the hall.
A description of the booths in the
gallery is, owing to lack Of space in
this issue, reserved until tomorrow.

mittees was held yesterday afternoon
for the purpose of settling few lit
tie difficulties that had arisen, and

attemps at rafiling will be e,suppressed
