half an hour. Maj. w. @. Furrey, act
ing az toaHtmaster, called on Superin-
tendent OF Schoole Brown TO respond to
the toast, The Children's Parade, and
that gentleman eaid:
"Iappreciate very greatly the honor
of addressing an audience that we know
stande right bach OF our school children
today. Not member of the Concordia
club who will not support our schools in
music and other studies. On two weeks
notice We we're able to enlist 5000
school children for the parade. The
children were ON time because they are
taught to be on time. Much OF the
honor growing out OF the success Of the
children's parade was due to the enthu-
siasm OF the director-general, which had
the effect of inspiring the school board
and the teachers with his energy aud
interest. Next year we will turn out
double the number of children in the
parade" [Applause.l
MIR. j. NJ. Urawley of the Southern
Pacific company was the next speaker
called or, and said:
III my thoughts could find proper ex-
preston in words, they would be re-
hcx of what has been said by Mr..
Steward. The Euccess OF la fiesta was
due to the director general and his COM
they presented a programme that was
bold and beautiful, and it inspired 9
patriotic feeling that has never been man
ifested before. 1t WAS all done in two
weeks, and now. with twelve months to
work, who can say what will be accom-
plished next year?
"a great deal Of credit ia due to direc.
tor general, Merchants association, and
the committees, and at the same time a
great deal ia due to the ladies for their
aid and encouragement. AS result OF
this week every newspaper in America
has had reports of ls fiesta, and the 70.
suits thereirom cannot be over.esti-
mated.
''Go on with your good work, duplicate
this years success. and the railroads
will do all in their power to help you."
Applause
Mr. X. II. Wade of the Santa Fe
eaid: 81 take pleasure in saying word
in praise OF our director-general on the
success OF la fiesta. Mr.. Crawley has
fully covered the appreciation OF the rail-
road companies OF the work that has
been done for the good OF Los Angeles
by this great festival.
II believe we should unite next year
and make is fests even a grander euc-
cess. l believe that in the future this
great local carnival will surpass any
thing that has ever been accomplished
in st. Louis with the Yelled Prophets or
with the Mardi Gras in New Orleans"
