&N Srlliansy Of ss.., the The
and the comfort of the spectators, and
have succeeded in their efforts
The pretty square which is now known
rs Central Park is an unusually large one,
as city blocks CO. and is in the heart OF
the city, lying between Fifth and Sixth
and Hill and Olive streets. 1t is easy OF
access from all parts Of Los Angeles. and
here the various street pageants will pass
in review before the Queen of La Fl esta
and retinue, Governor James Budd and
staff, if they can be present. notable
strangers within our gates, and an assem-
bled multitude of spectators.
The tribunes will be placed on the four
sides of the square upon the outer edges OF
the streets and sidewalks, and will con-
sist of five tiers of comfortable seats so
constructed as not to interfere with the
view from the second stories of the houses
which front upon the square.
Arrangements will be made for the con-
venient seating of 5000 spectators, and in
their line of march the pageants will all
circle about the park.
The exact location of the reviewing
stand, from which the Queen will view
her loyal subjects. has not yet been deter
mined, but it has been planned to make
it regal in its decorations.
In front of the trbunes will be wit
messed the eliminating glory of the
Fiesta, the magnificent floral spectacle.
Around the park will circle the gorgeous
procession of flowers. and here will occur
the Battle of the Roses, for which such
extensive preparations are being made.
Here a. so will be seen at its best the Pa
geant of the Pacific. with it's series of his
torical floats descriptive Of the events
chosen for allegorical representation.

found to be insufficient to accommodate
the spectators, arrangements are made for
satisfactorily increasing it to meet all re.
quirements.
A number of locations for tribunes were
considered by the committee, among
thought and consultation. it was believed
that the Central Park location, with the
arrangements as outlined would prove
more satisfactory than could be found
elsewhere
The leading street car lines of the city
are all within from one to three blocks of
the park, the streets are wide and, if for
any reason there should prove to be too
little room, adjoining streets supply an
indefinite amount of room for any emer-
gency that may arise. 1t will also be con-
venient to the additional line of march
which may be arranged for any of the
carnival pageants.
While a reviewing stand was located at
Central Park during the Fiesta, no such
arrangements were made for the conven-
fence of the spectators. Extraordinary
care will be taken in the construction Of
the seats for their solidity and comfort,
and thorough plans for the reserving of
seats and seating of the immense crowd
that will occupy them.
1t has been planned to secure particu-
lary fine effects at the park during the
passage of the illuminated pageant, which

night of carnival week. By the use OF
illuminating agents which have already
been secured by the parade committee, it
will be made a scene of spectacular beauty
that will be long remembered.
The owners of property fronting the
park have been very prompt and cordial
in giving their consent to the plans for
this most important adjunct to the sue
cess of La Fiesta.
Tomorrow, March 18th, is the day set
for the commencement of the drilling of
school children for participation in the
the plan adopted they will be drilled by
captains selected from their number and,
it may be, others, and they are all very
much interested in the prospect OF form
ing one OF the most impressive and de-
lightful features of carnival week.
1t is probable that the Gentlemen s
Riding Club will put in an appearance at
Westlake Park this afternoon. They will
meet at Agricultural Park at 80 O'Clock,
and may ride in body to the park after
drill.
Notwithstanding the public announce
ment that nothing but natural flowers
would be permissible in the decorations
for the floral parade, it has been learned
by the floral committee that some persons
have been contemplating the use of artih-
ciai flowers. Under no circumstances will
they be allowed in the parade.
The members of the Committee on
Trades, Manufacturers and Producers
have been doing some very effective work
during the past few days, with the result
that their section promises to be one of the
best in the grand pageant. The business
men are giving a hearty cooperation, and
the number OF distinctive trade floats will
exceed that OF any previous display ever
seen in the state. One of the most unique
features will be the display of fine stock,
comprising some of the most noted horses
in the United States, and this alone will
attract horsemen not only from all over
the coast but from East of the Rockies.
The full extent of the work of the com
mittee is best shown by the official report
submitted to the general committee yes
terday as follows;
