The herald., 1895-04-18

artistic use of electric lights of varied
colors in neat and tasteful designs.
On top of some Of the lower buildings
red fire was burned while the parade
passed, and this lent beauty and enchant-
ment to the passing pageant.
In the early part of the evening gaily
decorated private rigs came into Main
and Spring streets. They were filled with
ladies and gentlemen Hastily adorned and
attired in the colors OF the Fiesta. Later
in the evening though, the vehicles were
crowded off the streets by the great
crush of people,.
1t was an utter impossibility for any
one to get buggy or carriage on Spring
or Main streets and keep it there after
the parade started.
A gay party of Pasadenans came in with
three tandem teams, which were very
handsomely decorated with colors and
bunting. The young people drove down
the streets creating quite sensation but
later they were forced into one of the al
leys there to remain until the parade
passed.
The bicycle riders were out in force IN
til 0 clock. Some of them thought that
they would be able to keep their bicycles
during the entire evening, but they were
forced to abandon them. The lady who
came down on her wheel III boomers had
to get off her wheel and carry it to a
place of storage. She also had to walk
with it in the middle of sthe road. he
good -natured crowd that lined the streets
viewed her with interest and amuse-
ment and joked her pleasantly. But she
was brave and went straight ahead until
she got to some place where she could put
up her wheel. She looked neither to the
right nor to the left, but kept her vision
confined to line directly in front of her.
There were various incidents that hap
pened to relieve the monotony for the
tremendous crowd that waited for over an
hour for the procession to pass,
The Salvation army had their usual
evening service at First and Spring
streets. TheiSalvationists dropped their
conventional uniforms and appeared in a
winding sheet with white hood. They
created a decided sensation as they
marched back to their headquarters. The
crowd looked on the unusual sight of
white-robed, white-hooded Salvationists
and smiled.
Every small boy had horn, and some
grown people. But only a boy can proper
ly operate horn. The lad throws all the
enthusiasm of his youthful nature into
the shrill, ear-splittlng blasts he sends
out off the instrument, while the older
person only blows in perfunctory sort of
way. Old and young had horns last
night The horn man, who had them
for sale, was happy. Early in the even
ing he sold the visible supply and retired
to his home to count his wealth.
The youngster with the shrll Fiesta
whistle upon which he expended great
amount of wind was in evidence, 10, 600
strong. He blew before the procession
started, he blew while the procession was
passing and he blew when it was over.
About 1880 pm. a car on the electric
line at Second and Spring Streets was
derailed and it took fully an hour to get
it back on the track. This caused a
blockade of cars which stretched as far
south as Fourth street. The seats in the
cars afforded resting place for many
weary ladies, and although it was only tenn
porary it certainly relieved them OF their
fatigue.
