SCENES AT THE PAVILION,


The approaching Flower Festival is
the principal subject for conversation
in Los Angeles society nowadays,
and with view to ascertaining how
the preliminary arrangements were
progressing HERALD reporter wend-
ed his way to Hazards Pavilion yes
terday afternoon. Arriving there he
found a scene OF unwonted activity.
Ladies by the score were busy arrang-
ing the booths, and carpenters were
hard at work with hammer and saw
putting the framework of the various
structures together. Judging by the
indications, when the doors are thrown
open on Tuesday evening the scene
revealed will be without parallel in
the history of Calfornia. Twenty
five booths will be placed IN
various parts of the hall, and will be
in charge of about 800 ladies recruited
from the haat ton of the city. Several
valuable prizes are offered, and this
incentive will doubtless throw a little
more vigor into the competition than
would otherwise be the case. For the
best kept booth, considering also tine
quality and freshness of the flowers,
two prizes are offered, one of 5000 and
one of $50. For the best original de-
sign, to be kept in order during the
entire festival, a first prize of $l00
and a second OF $75 will be given. For
this competition entries have been re-
ceived from six outside places.

prizes, and will present very hand
