AN IMPROMPTU AFFAIR.
CHICAGO PEOPLE SERENADED BY
THE MERCHANTS.
Some Happy speeches Are Made and Los
Angeles Is Given = New
and Fitting
Title.

Rather large affair for an impromptu
one was what the serenade OF the execu-
tive committee OF the Merchants asso-
citation grew into last night.
The committee formed into line at the
board OF trade rooms on First street.
with the Ontario City band at its head.
There were also among them mem bers OF
the board of trade and citizens generally.
The different newspaper offices we're
first visited and the band played and
speeches were made.
In response to call from the commit.
tee, Col. J. j. Ayers of the Herald
spoke few words to the crowd assem-
bled. Colonel Ayera said that the
parade of the school children Yesterday
was one OF the grandest sights he had
ever witnessed. The whole state. he
said, was taking up the idea of la fiesta,
but the rest could only emulate Los
Angeles, they could never surpass what
it mad done The people OF the city and
Southern California owe the committee
a debt OF gratitude and are proud to call
them fellow citizens, and in their name
he congratulated and thanked them for
the success that had attended their
efforts.
In conclusion Col. Ayers thanked the
committee most heartily on behalf of
the people.
Alter three cheers for the HERALD the
committee proceeded to march through
the principal etreets, serenading MANY
of the businesa men who have been
prominent in the carnival. Chinatown
was visited and from there the process.

minister hotel, where the grand review
was to take place.
1t was given in honor Of the Chicago
gentlemen now stopping there who nave
interested themselves in the celebration
and have caused to be displayed In font
Of the hotel a banner OF electric lights
forming the words, "Chicago Coasr"tu'
lates Los Angeles"
Before the hotel the band rendered
selection and then the committee was
ushered into the parlors where the Chi
cago people were gathered.
Ex-Mayor Hazard was announced as
master OF ceremonies and then surprise
for all was sprung when it was an
nounced that the queen OF the angels
was on hand to receive the mblage.
The queen was then led forward and
hsndshaking and presentation to her
subjects ensued.
The band rendered another selection
and then Mr.. Hazard spoke briefly, say
ing in part that Los Angeles attributed
a share of its success in all things to the
Chicago citizens who had come here.
Judge O. II. Horton OF Chicago was
presented and spoke eoquently and
earnestly OF what the Chicago people
mad found to admire in Los Angeles.
The history OF Los Angeles, he said,
ought to be compared to that oil Chicago.
The carnival now in progress is mag
nifcent showing for city Of the age
and population Of Los Angeles. Chicago
people always feel at home in Los An
geles. 1t is the Chicago of the Pacific
coast. You have started in my mind a
question, however. and it is this: Why

and magnificent display in your parade,
and why were their borees all led by
Americans? We are not all queens in
Chicago, neither are we all angels loud
applausel, but we bow in reverence to
the Queen OF the Angels.
Three cheers were given for the new
Chicago OF the Pacific coast, and then
three cheers for Chicago by the great
lakes.
Mayor Carleon OF San Diego was called
for and made lew remarks in regard to
the San Diego float, and, after telling
how it was all the work Of one man,
namely himself, he called attention to
the fact that next years float would be
10000 times as good because all the peo-
pie would then tdrn in and help.
Major Furrey, president OF the Mer'
chants association, said q few fitting
words, and Rev. Mr.. Osborne Of Chicago
responded in kindly way.
After tho speeches fireworks were seen
in front of the hotel, and the affair broke
up.
