There were too many countex-attrac
tions last night to make it possible for
the usual crowded attendance TO be
the Pavilion, and added to this, was the
soggy condition of the atmosphere, which
slso kept good many people away. In
plte OF all, however, goodly number
Epassed through the dooys, and to the
pleasant music of promenade concert
given by the Seventh Infantry Band,
the booths were inspected and the new
Ely-added charms admired. One of the
Features of the evening was She presencs
of the Whittier Children's Band OF
Hope, In charge of their Superintendent.
Mrs. Harris. Some of these children
gather the flowers daily that are sent to
their booth in Les Angeles, and it was
amusing to zee their interest in the dec
orstions that they recognized at the
Whittier stand as those gathered by
them! Mr.. Given, of the Whittier liv-
cry stables, generously offered his SER
vices to bring the children to Los Ange-
les in a'six-seatei coach, drawn by four
horses. He has driven from Whittier to
Los Angeles daily to accommodate the
workers and visitors. The booth was all
retrimmed yesterday, and the shaft of
the umbrella gracefully bedecked with
snowy striped grass and wild locusts and
vines from the Whittier caflons. The
fiower-bank was very artistically and
lightly trimmed, with great variety of
flowers, there being much cactus and
Easter lily intermixed.
The visitor will be well repaid by maxi
ing trip to the milk shake booth, in
the southeast corner Of the first gallery.
In it has been placed an ingeniously con-
trived cow, which lows and gives forth
the milk for the shakes. 1t is an adj
mirable piece of work, and will be sold
at auction to the highest bidder on Sat-
urday night, by Mr.. 81. Fl. Matlock, the
auctioneer.
The Hanna College booth is one of the
features of the exhibition. The flowers
are always fresh and the ladies in charge
ever have apleasant smile and courteous
word for the inquirer. The special
Flower Festival edition of The Olive Leaf,
published at the College, is in great de-
mand, for it is well written and makes O
charming souvenir of the occasion.
