The herald., 1894-04-11

The Chinese pageant was never sur
pasved By q similar affair In the United
States, It was considered by some the
best and most gorgeous array Of tne
procession.
Arturo Ruiz OF Marshal Covarrubiss'
staff was one OF Ventura county's rep
resentatives. :,
The cars Of the electric aud cable rail-
WAYS were gaily decorated with hesta
colors. The display was immense on
some OF the cable cars.
@. f, Sloane of the artistic committee
has the especial thanks OF the press
representatives for his thoughtfulneaa
in providing tables at the exercises in
Central park.
O. +. HeInzeman's attractive cologne
display in the parade was indeed com.
icsi. The occupants of the float looked
charming in their fiesta costumes.
Mayor Carlson OF San Diego viewed
the parade and said that he never saw
O more gorgeous or attractive display. II
was pleasing to the eye-no sameneas,
no dryness. 1t was blending OF colors,
the like Of which was never before seen
in this city.
The new Turn Verein hall on Main
street was prettily decorated with circle
OF fiesta colored incandeecent lights last
night.
The Cocnpah and Yuma Indians at.
tracted much attention. There were S6
Of them in line.
The gentlemanly aids, who were
mounted on the steeds OF the desert
yesterday, were the subiects of whole
lot OF good natured chatting by the few
who were aware OF the hoax played
upon them by the Heathen Chinee.
Several days ago q number OF shrewd
Mongola went about town and hired all
the available saddle horses that could be
obtained, paying therefor the princely
sum Of SO per head. When the young
men who had been appointed to posi-
tions OF mounted marshRls, cavaliers,
centaurs, ETC., started out to secure
animals, they were confronted with a
condition that almost paralyzed them.
No horses we're to be had. Livery men
had hired out every hoof in their barns,
and a more distracted and dismayed loi
OF youngsters has never been seen IN
the city. Just when despair had en-
veloped the crowd representative oi
Chinatown appBared and offered to fur
nish the young men with the required
number of equines Rt S. each, and hi'
offer was greedily accepted. Shortly
after the bargain was concluded the
truth of the matter leaked out, and &
madder set OF youths has not beer
seen for many day. The China boy
reaped sbout $500 clear money in tn
transaction.
All pupils in companys A and B
, Hewitt street school, are requested TO b
, present at the school building this morn

. The grand masquerade bali at Han
ards pavilion, Friday night, will be
/ fitting close to the gayeties OF Ia fiestf
- A most gratifying sale OF tickets gl,e
y assurance of financial success, whil
v Judging by the activity among the col
1 tuners OF the city, there will be pi'
turesque and merry throng OF rcvelsl
en- mRsque. The grotesque affair OF laI
Saturday seems to have stimulated d.
q sire to do something unusual, and man
|. of our leading citizens, OF whom sue
/ things would hardly be expected, al
n Irlenus.
" "a member of the committee in char
!. OF the affair ventures the assertion th
= so cases OF fun will be opened at u
. beginning of the ball and full measur,
OF pleasure are 10 be added as the pa,
. quickens. No such opportunity for
~ high old time has ever been presente
!. to the citizens of Los Angeles and the
seems to be q disposition on all sides
= = take advantage OF it. Some idea OF tt
2 magnitude OF the undertaking may |
: gathered from the fact that 1000 in vita
tions are issued and still IL is found in
. possible to meet the demand. The con
. mittee has relied upon those desiring
y participate in dancing at the hall NAL
ing their desire known, and II anyon
has failed to receive an invitation it
due to his own negligence. ..
There will be delightful music b
the Los Angeles Military band an
4 Lowinsky's orchestra, q lovely floor ft
dancing and most strikingly dramat
and spectacular effects. Supper wi
i be served Ia carte by the Westminstt
D hotel management from 1880 till th
| close of the ball. Appearances ind
cate that everything about the affa
!. will stamp 1t as one long to be remen
q bered.
