this entertainment to thousands OF busy toilerS
| and bringing solace to the bedside of sickness
| and pain within Fabiola's ministering walls,
we, as citizens, have done our part with fidelity
| and credit.
The feature of the festival which will
| probably be attended with the most actual
interest is the horse and bicycle meet, and
there is no fear of anything being over
| looked, for the following committee is in
| charge of that part of the programme:
r. NJ. Fitzgerald, P. E. Bowles, v G. Hush, s..
| B. Mckee, A. A. Moore, c. D. Bates Jr., ]. w.
Finigan, Orestes Pierce, DR.. Latham, De Witt
Van Court, p. II. Remillard, Walter Hackett,
Albert Folger, Harry Gordon, F. S. Stratton, II.
Meek, William Rank, Charles Neal, W. v.
Whitcher, Edison Adams, S. G. Alexander, T. L..
Barker, s. P. CHANNEL, Frank Pierce, Charles
MclvOr, J. w. Laymance, A. ;. Macdonald, e..
&. Vincent and Gus Harrison.
The inducements to the competitors are
well worth striving for, as many valuable
prizes are offered. In the bicycle races,
for instance, the victors will get diamonds,
bicycles, watches, etc., while two rewards
one shade lamp and the other clock
Will be given to the club making the best
appearance in the parade.

the fastest trotting stallion In the world.

Mammoth decorated floats are to repre-
sent the leading Sunday-schools of Oak
land, altogether twelve or fifteen being ex-
pected. The members of the various con-
gregations are ali heartily in favor of the
movement and are aiding it in every way
possible.
II have watched Fabiola grow since it
was little two-room concern on Market
DR.. J. K. Mclean. The ladies who have
brought it up to its present high standa I'd
of efficiency deserve the hearty support of
every one whenever they may require it,"
Rev DR.. R. F. Coyle of the First Pres
byterian Church says: THE benefit for
Fabiola is a meritorious object and one
which cannot fail to meet the approval of
all classes. The fact that the ladies are
back of the affair is sufficient assurance
that there will be no objectionable fea-
lures"
Rev. DIR. Hummer of the First Metho-
dist Church in like strain said: II will be
glad to have our Sunday-school take part
Fabiola is a most commendable beneficiary
and the ladies would not allow any feature
that we could not indorse."
Other interests are equally outspoken in
behalf of the festival and personal feel
ing seems to have sprung up in the heart
of every Oaklander. ut is the best idea
that was ever advanced here" says Attor-
ney A. A. Moore, land although appar-
entity a slight affair, will be far-reaching in
its results. We have long needed an agi-
tation tor good roads, fine turnouts and
a boulevard and this meet will arouse the
people as nothing else could.
The schools have taken up the affair in
laudable style and the subject is being well
urged, as it is in the hands of a committee
consisting OF City Superintendent Nc
Clymonds, County Superintendent Gar
lick, George G. Edwards, Professor Dun
bar and L. o. Crawford. Each school will be
represented in the parade by mammoth
float decorated with flowers and colors
emblematic of their own district. Twenty
children will occupy seats on each float
and will be attired in attractive costumes
harmonizing with the decorations of the
vehicles. A leader in front OF each school
will carry banner with a fitting inscrip-
ton made of flowers.
