Cherry blossoms will comprise the next
Horticultural festival at the Midwinter
Fair. Hundreds of thousands of these
dainty flowers will be sent to Sunset City
and the display will equal the beautiful
exhibit of almond blossoms shown by the
people of Niles fortnight ago.
1t is fortunate for the success of the
Alameda building that within the limits of
the district there are towns possessing
both enterprise and originality. The
official exhibit is somewhat prosaic, so the
people of Niles put their heads together
and evolved the almond blossom carnival,
which was the feature of one day.
Following IN the footsteps of these floral
artists of Niles, San LeandTo residents are
preparing for a cherry blossom festival.
A definite date has not been selected, bat
the day will be set in the midst OF the
season when the cherry orchards are in
full bloom. Alameda is noted for wealth
of cherries, and the pest groves will be
rif1ed for the benefit of the exposition dis
play. A committee of San Leandro en-
thusiasts is now at work preparing designs
in which the blossoms will be attractively
arranged.

day evening she had occasion to go to the
Manufactures building to make a pur-

tried TO take her arm. The fair-haired
fraulein is much taller and stouter than
LOwenberg and she impatiently shook him
off.
Then, according to Miss Schner's story,
Lowenb berg insulted her very grossly.
That made her German blood boil and she
surprised her diminutiye admirer by a
sudden attack upon him, which upset his
equilibrium and left two very red marks
on his face. Lowenberg beat a hasiy re-
treat, and Miss SchneT. with her desire
for vengeance still unsatisied, swore out a
warrant and yesterday the masher was
arrested. After some delay he secured
$50 bail and was released.
Two important entertainments will be
held in the near future at the Vienna
Prater. On the evening of the 29th con-
cert will be given under the auspices of
the San Francisco Press Club, and in
addition to the numbers rendered by the
Prater orchestra several talented vOcalists
have offered their services. On the 3lst

Kaiser Franz Joseph Hall. Both events
are provoking much interest in the social
world.
This was the day assigned for the Geo.
graphical Congress, but that convention

An additional attraction at the Midwin-

the people of San Francisco when Sousa's
band commences its five weeks engage
ment at the Midwinter Fair. The first
concert will be given on Sunday at the
exposition grounds. W. S. b. Matthews,
