/
The indications are that Columbus
day will be celebrated in Los Angeles
today with elaborateness.
Yesterday the city began to put on it's
gala attire, and by night business houses
and residences all over the city were en-
bellished with flags and bunting. Many
elegant designs have been carried out on
business houses, and it is probable that
the decorations will be the most extern
sive seen in the city for many a day.
The preparations for the various parts
of the programme are very nearly COM
pleted, and the parade promises to be a
brilliant one. The exercises at the pa
vilion will be very interesting, and the
| fireworks at night gorgeous.
