the numerous floats, wheel linen, etc.,

OF Portugal, of which country Cabrillo
was native.

erected. spanning the principal street
Intersections, also single arches opposite
the various public buildings. These
arches are featooned with flowers and
evergraens, and at night will be iilumin-
ated with thousands OF gas and incandes-
cent lights.
