vas very artiscie. rejecting much credit upon
thr laiies who had the decorating in charge.
Immediately in front of the footlights was a
huge bank of white roses extending clear
ocross the stage and continued upwards on
either side, interviewer with bridal wreath
and gold of ophir.
che boxes on both sides were completely hid
den in roses, shaded from light pink to q
deep crimson while cnrnaton pinks and myr-
We formed u charming border for the dress
circle railing. s
1t was upon the stage, however, that the
greatest wealth of flowers was shown. The
dances changed from one rose TO another with
complete change OF floral scenery, as II there
was no end TO them.
The gondolas, covered with Gold OF Ophir
roses, in which the young ladies made thelr
appearance for the dance dedicated to that
rose were very pretty and attracted much at
tention, while the rose canopy under which the
queen sat at the opening OF the pageant, was
much admired.
The pageant consisted of three acts. opening
with Los Flores garden in the Crown OF the
Valley Time of year, the latter part OF sum-

Goddess Flora and Wild flowers sleep, uncon-

white harlequin. the son of the rain god. He
summons the Cacti from the desert to lay waste
the valley and slsy the goddess, but before they
have accomplished their evil purposes the
white harlequin, son OF the rain god, appears,
telling them to the earth, while lie Stays IN

The following acts represent in charming
succession the different flowers as they spring

Never was larger audience packed into the
opera house that was present when the curtain
went up at $50 this evening, and Il is safe to
say that there was never more enjoyable en-
tertainment given within its walls. The
dences OF last year were produced. with i'm
prOyements. and several new ones were added.
