flower being the exquisite brodi9a. The
artist lmpersonator wore white turban
and white sweater, upon which was en-
broidered bold crescent in marigolds
over the breast. A long spear tricked out
in lavender ribbons completed the har-
monious picture of this modern Saladin.
Wilbur Spence and James Dennis
Lousley were among the boys on horse
back. Wilbur Spence represented the
'little boy in blue" and his companion
was lone, two, buckle my shoe," who led
the horse. Wilbur was in blue, of course,
and carried horn decorated with flowers.
The horse was decorated with yellow
flowers, and Jim Lousley was dressed in
white and gold. The pair made a very
pretty picture.
Miss Jennie Spence was conspicuous
equestrienne on white horse without
saddle, and only girthed with a surcingle.
Her flower was the lovely beauty of glazen
wood, and the riders costume was green
and cream-colored to match the rose.
Green slippers and rose rosettes completed
the effective toilette.
A. L. Goux, a little six-year-oId, appeared
as George Washington in his capacity as
general. He wore white satin and his
white horse was decorated with La Marque
roses. The three-cornered hat was white,
and the Characterization was complete in
every detail, even to the sword. Many
eyes turned to the miniature George
Washington, who road wholly unattended,
but with all proper dignity and ease.
Miss Lord and Miss Kelly had chosen
the popular brodiea wherewith to decorate
their double-seated, back-to- back vehicle.
The ladies looked charming in gowns and
ribbons of lavender and lavender parasols,
the white horses being also decorated with
the lavender-colored wild hyacinth.
Miss Georgiana Lacy and Miss Carrie L.
Bond appeared in a phaeton that was
veritable basket of flowers. The ladies
wore lavender chiffon and carried parasos
to match. The harness of the dapple gray
horse was simply covered with ribbons of
lavender hue.
There was hardly prettier turnout
than that of Miss Charlotte Yonge and
Miss Madeline Lacy in this class. The
flower favored was the Duchess rose, and
the ladies were radiant in pretty gowns of
pink chiffon trimmed with satin ribbons.
The same colored ribbons f1uttered from
the harness. There were two outriders-
Tony Moore and Perry Case-each wearing
white sweater, pink sash and white hat
with pink band. They held ropes of
Duchess pink roses.

Gle Club entered a group of twenty per-

flowers. The body of the float was covered
thickly with a sward of green Spanish
moss. Toward the rear portion was erected
a solid looking arch against which was rep
resented the well-known emblem of the
Foresters-an eye in among the horns of a
great elk's head f1anked by two boys, one
bearing a rifle and the other bow and ar
row. The arch was surmounted with
two American flags clutched by a great
eagle. On the side of the float appeared
the letters ga. 0. +. of A" and &c. o. F."
The arch was almost covered with white
lilies and white roses and the letters 81.
U. B. c." were worked into one of the
panels. Red, white and blue were the
patriotic colors in the combination of fiow-
ers used. A natural rockwork filled the
hollow of the arch. This creditable float,
which attracted much attention, was
drawn by four fine horses covered with
forest green.
Perhaps the most peculiarly Californian
float was that of the days of 49, presented
by the Bannerman Brothers. 1t under
went three distinct changes in the course
of the day, and showed the original min
ing times-the time when gold was plenti-
full, and the present time when the miners
were civilized and were roughing 1t, in the
way 1895 calls roughing it. The first pic
ture showed the roughclad miners, gold
rockers, pans, picks, cooking kettles and
tent. They were decorated in wild oak
vines and flowers, chiefly lilies The Sec
ond was slightly changed, the miners now
being engaged in playing for the dust at
seven-up. The third scene showed the
erstwhile miners in store clothes, camping
out in the luxurious style of the day.
They had be-ribboned guitar, ham
mock and quaffed wine in happy fashion.
The original designers of the float were:
]. J. Bannerman. A. d. Bannerman, H.
Packard, ]. III. Hoover and ID. A. Basser,
who occupied the interior. The float was
drawn by four spanking bay horses abreast.
w. S. Lewis spirited gray six-in-hand are
known all over California as the hand
soonest in the State. On this occasion he
added another pair of gray horses to the
number making superb eight-in hand,
and the vehicle they drew was one of the
great sights of the festival. The great
nine-seated tallyho coach, with its body
unusually high, had exceedingly graceful
lines. High above the seats was canopy,
lily covered, and upon the center of this
stood a great California bear. emblem of
the State, fashioned entirely OF lilies. The
seats were filled with eight little girls and
eight little boys, with three ladies, all fan
cifully dressed in yellow and white. From
the center of the high drivers seat rose the

slender stem of an enormous Gala, fash
ioned entirely of Gala blossoms.
In the center of this huge flower, clad in
a yellow gown, and representing its yellow
center, sat Gwendolen Lee Low, Mrs.
Lows dainty little daughter. The per-
sonnel in the tally-ho were: Mrs. Homer
Whitney, Mrs. w. S. Low, Miss Venise
Smith, and, of course, baby Low. The
ladies were dressed in white and yellow
China silk, trimmed with lace and yellow
ribbons. The eighteen children were the
four Watts boys, Harry Whitney, Lydia
Whitney, Alice Schofeld, Ned Schoheld,
Blanche Crabb, Nannette Waldauer, Willie
and Annie Myers, Reginald Smith,
Tommy del Vale, Tiny Jannsen, Grace
and Minnie Elisalde and Bella Ewing.

and trappings were also decorated with
marguerites.
A miniature vehicle drawn by two Shet-
land ponies harnessed tandem was designed
and entered by Maurice Killredge. The
small carriage was completely hidden by
peach boughs covered with blossoms, and
had in its center large birds nest made
of Spanish moss decorated with Mariposa
lilies. In the nest were four little girls,
Paula Wright, the two little Deane girls
and the little Miss Thayer. Each pony
was led by q boy dressed in an old
fashioned footman's costume.
Milton Stewart, as Sir Launcelot, was
mounted on a black horse and wore a
black velvet knights costume with a
doublet of Duchess roses. The saddle
cloth was covered with Spanish moss and
Duchess roses. Garlands of pink roses
were fastened on the bride and mar
tingale.
The vehicle entered in class this year
by G.. II. Frink was an open landau, its
graceful lines completely hidden from
sight with covering of cloth of gold, fol-
lowing a scroll design on the sides, the
back and the wheels. Over this glittering
ground white netting was draped, soften
ing the effect, and this was in turn studded
with white roses. In the vehicle were
seated four charming little girls-Alice
Day, Bertha Gregory, Florence Thayer and
Florence Hassinger-wearing white satin
gowns, white bonnets and carrying white
parasols to match their costumes, their
ornaments being yellow roses. The milk
white horses wore cloth of gold blankets,
and over these white nets dotted with
white roses, while their harness was COW
cred with cloth of gold. The running gear
of the vehicle was gilded to be in keeping
with the general plan of decoration, and
the entire effect was dazzling.
Mrs. H. F. Mcguire, wife of the grand
marshal, and Mrs. Conant had very
pretty turnout. 1t was single-horse
phaeton decorated wholly with white
pampas plumes. The horse was white and
the ladies also gowned in white.
John f. Diehl had one of the most strik-
ing fourth hands in the parade. The
vehicle represented an immense japanese
basket decorated with masses of polly
gonia, rare bloom presenting combine
ton of olive and old rose, arranged so as to
afford a solid-looking surface. The Jap
anese idea was further carried out by the
occupants of the four-in- in-hand-three little
japanese maids from schools in kimonos
of pretty neutral tints. One was playing
the Japanese harp, while another held
japanese parasol with Oriental grace. They
were Miss Matte Kittrage, Miss Jennie

another march past the tribunes and
judges stand. Looking up State street
toward the tribunes as the procession
marched to the stirring strains of martial
or slow waltz music the scene was highly
picturesque.
One could see arch after arch of various
colors and composition in vast area,
spreading away into the far perspective.
The stores were all closed, business having
been thrown to the winds. The townfolk,
the countryfolk and the visitors stood
along the streets. laughing criticizing, ap
plauding the mishaps of the contrary mules
or prancing horses. of entangled vehicles
or loosed decorations which only added
zest for new comment and enjoyment.
Babies were held on shoulders and even
the dogs were garlanded as the procession
went by that all might participate in the
prettiest festival of the earth.
Slowly arch after arch was passed amid
a rain of calculations of delight from the
crowded balconies and windows until at
last the entrance to the tribunes was
reached. The tribunes had been beseiged
at an early hour by holders OF tickets and
late corners had poor chance of seat.
The judges were arranged along the lowest
tier of seats in the center of the grand
stand and as the head of the line entered
at once proceeded upon their difficult
task.
The tribunes were crowded with the
gayest of the gay. Every one had brought
flowers made up into punches to use as
ammunition in the forthcoming engage
ment. Big baskets and sacks of roses and
many other kinds had been provided and
every one wanted front seat. The
smooth asphalt pavement between the
tribunes was perfectly swept and gave no
hint of the devastation that was to be.
First came the band forty pieces strong,
follo@ed by long double line of Olympia
marines drawing a floral model of the
great cruiser. The boys in blue received a
special ovation, the crowds of ladies and
gentlemen and children rising to their
feet and cheering as many bouquets were
hurled at the bronzed cheeks expanded in
an amiable, self-satisfed grin. No one
enjoys frolic ashore more than Jack, and
he fully appreciated the fact that his was
a place of honor. Then came the floats,
followed by decorated surreys, spring
wagons. farm wagons, phaetons, carts,
four-in- hands, six and eight in hands,
eouestrians, children's vehicles, sulkies,
novelties, cavalcades and cyclists.
Then ensued the battle. AS the vehicles
and equestrians, cyclists and marines ar
rived they were greeted with trial of bou-
quets. The specially popular received

One of the features of the procession was
the beautiful float entered by ]. w. Cooper
and A. B. Cameron, the latter being the
designer. The float was intended to repre-
sent music and was drawn by three splen-
did white horses harnessed abreast. In
the center was an immense Tyre covered
with wisteria blossoms and with smilax
twined around the strings.
Festoons of lavender-colored bunting
radiated from the top of the Tyre to four
pillars which were placed at the corners of
the float and had small harps on their
tops. Around the edges Of the vehicle ran
five lines representing the staff, upon
which were placed musical notes worked in
wisteria blossoms. Four ladies dressed in
classical costumes of white sat around the
lyre and each played some musical instru-
ment. They were: Miss Arbuckle of
Portland, Or; Miss Butterfield of Boston,
and Miss Bliss and Miss Bates, both of
Santa Barbara. Behind them were Messrs
Frank Bliss and Reginald Fernald as
trumpeter both dressed in Roman cos
tunes. Mr.. Cameron, who also was dressed
as Roman, was the driver. Each horse
was led by black footman and the wheels
were hidden by the low frame covered with
bunting, over which trailed sprays of Eng
lish ivy. On each side were two wreaths,
each with pair of trumpets crossed be-
hind them, and between these were harps
of wisteria blossoms.
Very elaborate was the float presented
by Court 762 A. O. f. of A. 1t represented
