SANTA BARBARA, April 24.-Summa-
rizing this weeks festivities we begin
with Tuesdays magnifcenth flower show,
where were exhibited more than 1000
varieties of natures beautiful garlands.
Wednesday the festival was more love-
ly. Little Goddess Flora and her
nymphs and followers arrived, where
from no one knows. But they got here
and were received with due pomp and
obeisance. The loads of flowers and
greens, drawn by beautifully hung and
fiorally draped horses, presented scene
never before witnessed in this country.
The annual exhibit at Nice, they say,
will equal, but not in beauty surpass,
little Santa Barbara's celebration. At
far away Nice the flowers are mostly
taken from nursery beds and hot
houses, while here there was not
flower in the pageant but what was
grown in the open air. This grand pa
rade was witnessed by at least $1,000
people, and each and every one of them
departed to their bones enthusiastic in
Santa Barbara's praise.
