The Festival Is Over and the
City Rests
LA REINA Is NOW RETIRED
She Speaks FeeIingly Of Her Happy
Reign
\ REINA Is NOW RETIRED
Some Charming Incidents That Have Been
Omitted From Her Hsjesty's Chronicles
and Her Royal Herald Report,

The Sabbath quiet and lack of excite
ment OF Yesterday lent an air OF ontiand-
ishness to the decorations that yet adorn
the streets, and deeply impressed the OBJ
server with the fact that the Fiesta s
glory is over and the passing show IS
gone. But it has craven itself indelibly
on the minds of its participants and will
be ever remembered as guide post in
the cty's progress, as in the development
of Il carnival week that will outriya' all
The older orders from Rome to New Or
Jeans. For so its promoters desire and
10 one has yet suggested Why it should
not he so, beyond urging the comparative
smal.ness of the city and not fully popu-
lated envrons.
MANY suggestions have come 50 the FL
esta management from the experience OF
this season ana they will probably be
acted Ipon next year. For instance, Il
r,,yal carriage of stats ought to be bought
and kent by the queen s chancellor, Duque
de Los Angeles, for the exclusive use OF
the royal person. Then. again, the car
riagcs of her retinuc ought to be deco
rated with flowers and standards. A
number of young society and business
men are seriously considering organizing
legion of royal household guards to be
in constant attendance upon Her Majesty
during her visit to the city. royal
band is also mooted question among u
lew of the more prominent musicians,
and if these things are finally made &C
complished facts. the next Queen Will
revel in splendors and dignities that the
first two have maintained by their per-
sonal majesty and graceful tact.

hly resting since her last official act was
finished, and yesterday looked as pleas
ant and fresh as before the great events
of last week.
''But can now appreciate what Mrs
Chilus went through" said she, land L
do not think enous h can be said in praise
of her for what she did last year. Now
that the festival is established, it is not
so hard. but still it is enough to tax a
person utmost efforts. Before and dur
ing the pageants everyone with whom
we came in contact treated my court and
myself with every consideration and cour-
tesy, and | am proud that we have car
red the whole affair through to sue
cessful end"
AS an evidence of the good feeling exist
ing between the queen and her ladies' the
following paper that was handed to her
af.er the royal theater party on Saturday
night, speaks for itself:
To Her Most Gracious Majesty, the
Queen of the Angels
We YOUR ladies in waiting and maids
of honor. realizing your ever thoughtful
and tender care, and your great kind
ness and graciousness during the past
week, feel that nothing was left un-
done which your graceful tact and kindly
thoughtfulness could possibly suggest
for our constant comfort. AS token
of trust in your most gracious majesty
we promise to participate in any pageant

Each of the noble ladies signed the pa.
per and it was read by the mayor at the
banquet that followed the theater party
at tie Los Angeles theatcr.
A pretty feature of the festival was that
of the presentation of the key of the
city from the Merchants association to La
Reina. The key is solid silver fiat key
alb ut four inches long. and wide and
thick in proportion; it is engraved on
the front: 1.-The Merchants associat ion
to Mrs. G.. Modini-Wood. Queen OF La
Fiesta de Los Angeles, April, 1895. On
the opposite side there are three equal
lie lgths o enamel in the orange, olive and
VINE OF the Fiesta colors. The key is
fastened to two crossed plated ribbons of
Fiesta colors that hang from ends and
sides of beautiful silver casket ten
inches by four and half inch es IN
dimensions. The interior of this silver
casket is lined in wrinkled satin and
braid and the exterior is thick with white
enamel and golden flowers and leaves.
plated with pinkish enamel IN the CEN
ter of which is pretty gold leaf.
Another pretty feature that has not
been described is the handsome silver
card of invitation to the royal Derby day
races at the park. The invitation is clev-
ery engraved on thick decorated plate
of solid silver. four by three inches in
dimensions and it reads as follows:
CARNIVAL SEASON.
To the most Gracious Sovereign OF the
Realms of Sunshine, La Reina de la
Fiesta de Los Angeles:
Your Majesty and retinue are invited
by these presents: TO honor your loving
tendance at the royal race meeting in
your chief city upon La Fiesta Derby day,
Wednesday. 18th April, 1895.
The plate nestles in raised white
plush body and white satin cover and
trimmings. The whole reposes in a cas-
ket of royal purple velvet, and in the CEN
ter of the lid is festooned a chased and
decorated silver leaf. on which is in
scribed MRS. G. NJ. Wood
There was the greatest difficulty Satur
day in obtaining the names of the win
ners of prizes awarded those who partici
pated in the floral parade. The judges
were in greatest confusion continually
and did not know even to whom they
had made the awards. few of them
were discovered. however, and they are
given in the fond hope that they may be
correct; but the uncertainty OF the dis
tributon and the fact that it may be
never known just who did take prizes,
spells II very interesting part OF the festi-
val.
