The proceedings Were opened at
s.: 5 by an overture by the Seventh
infantry Band, who in gorgeous at
| tire occupied an orchestra paled off
from the auditorium by floral barriers.
Ex-Mayor Spence, the President OF
the evening, then arose and in
a few pleasant remarks intro
duced Mayor Workman. He said
that Mr.. Workman made the
second best Mayor Los Angeles
had ever had-he would not say the
best, because he himself had been
Mayor. A roar of laughter followed
Mr.. Spence's address and then Mayor
Workman advanced to the front OF
the stage and spoke as follows:
MAYOR woRKMAN's SPEECH.
LADIES AND GENTLEMEN - The
pleasure is afforded me second time
to speak publicly of the high appre-
citation | entertain of the noble work
the ladies of the Flower Festival So
ciety are engaged in. That / ana not
alone in this belief is shown by the
eager anticipation which attends the
preparations for the Festival each
year, and by the large attendance
here to-nipht.
1t is most charming idea to make
the beautiful flowers of our SO we'll
favored country to yield up means
for opening the hands and purses OF
those who pay heed to the wants and
suferings OF their fellow-beings.
Fair Charity, the rarest, best and
brightest of angelic blossoms, is thus
grated on all of us through the me-
dium of the many pretty petals
brought here by the ladies of The
society, to lend brightness, beauty and
fragrance to the occasion.
The noble use you, ladies OF the
Flower Festival Society, have made
of the money obtained by your annual
floral fair, by devoting it to the erec-
ton of home for, and providing a
means to enable self-respecting and
deserving girls and women to live in
a more refined and profitable way, and
your intention this year to contribute
to the support of little fatherless and
motherless ones, is known to every
one and the vast audience here to-
night is in itself the best praise and
commedation of your work.
You have done nobly and wisely,
ladies of the Flower Festival Society
continue your good work, and you
will, by your unique and charming
method, solve one of the greatest
problems known to humanity. feel
highly the honor of being permitted
to so express myself, and it only re-
mains for me now to carry out another
and very pleasant charge by declar-
ing the Ladies' Flower Festival
formally opened, and wishing the pro-
jectors and the managers the most
unbounded success"
DIR. Chichester then invoked Divine
aid on the festival in a touching
prayer, after which, General Miles
was introduced to the audience and
spoke as follows:
GENERAL MILES bPEECH.
LADIES AND GENTLEMEN: To paint
the lily or add perfume to the violet
would be wasteful extravaganza in
deed, and consequently for me to un.
dertake any sword-painting Of this
glorious scene would be simply q
waste of words and time. 1 shall
not attempt it but shall only make a
few remarks on the occasion which
calls us together. Before us is an evl-
dence OF the highest civilization,
showing for itself the vast amount of
labor that has been 1avished upon it,
and all l can do is to congratulate
you on the success which has crowned
your eff rts. All that is most beauti-
| full in nature has been arranged with
consummate skill-this lighthouse
