The herald., 1895-04-17

yesterday to see to it that everybody was
invited to come down to the beautiful !
city-famous for its citrus fruts-and
accept the hospitality of the people who
reside there. All corners are to have all
the oranges they can eat or carry away.
The street-cars were not in operation
for two hours during the parade. and
when finally they did start running it
was several hours before they were back
on schedule time. Nobody complained,
though. 1t was charged to La Fiesta,
and every body let it go at that.
The regular Southern Pacific passenger
train that arrived at o'clock yesterday
afternoon had ten sleepingcars attached.
Every berth was taken by visitors to
La Fiesta, and many who wanted to pat
ronize Mr.. Pullman were unable to do So
Colonel I. j. Wilson came over from
San Bernardino and pronounced the
parade simply immense.
Frank Miller came in from Riverside
and looked over things. He says that the
entire population from the Citrus city
will be here on Thursday and Friday.
E. w. Holmes. the editor of the River
side Press, says the parade will compare
favorably with anything that was seen in
| London on the occasion OF the Queen s
! Jubilee. He thinks it was a grand sue
! cess
All the ladies of honor to her majesty
the Queen were elegantly attired. The
! fact that the costumes were similar gave
a charming uniformity to the scene OF
! the coronation.
The seats at Central park were not very
! literally patronized The price charged
| for them is almost too much when one
considers the fact that by standing up
| everything can be seen FOR nothing.
Willie Mendoza in bath tub was one
| of the novelties of the procession. There
are those who are cruel enough to hint
that Willie never saw a bath tub before.
The members of the Los Angeles
] Athletic Club reviewed the parade from
the windows OF the club rooms The boys
were very lavish in their applause OF the
many excellent features and particularly
I did they do honor and courtesy to the
ladies who participated in the display.
DR.. kennedy's assumption of the char
actcr of the New Woman, in the bicy-
Gle division of the parade, was clever
take off. The doctor makes an excellent
! female impersonator both as to feature
and form.
Citizens generally are taking special
pains to see to it that. every hospitality
! and courtesy is shown to the members of
| the Half-Million Club of San Francisco
Everything that can be done and every
effort that can be put forth to make their
| stay pleasant one is being attended to-
Street Superintendent Perry Howard
made very impressive division marshal
on his prancing steed.
D. +. Donegan with his tally-ho,
handled the ribbons which guided the
ten spirited animals like a man who
knew what he was about. He did it so
ceverly that heswon admiration from all
sides.
Last night betwwn and 9 Green's
Santa Barbara Military Band. under the
| leadership of Joseph Green, rendered The
Herald a serenade concert which was
duly appreciated. They rendered selec-
| ton from Olivette by Audrien the Mt-
scian Revere. by Buscolnan, and Frol-
les of Sylph, by Voelker. This band
was complimented highly yesterday for
its appearance and charming music.
The San Diego City Guard band made
I fine showing in the parade. The boys
are all excellent musicians and the organ
! ization never fails 10 do itself credit
The commercial men made a great
! showing III the parade. The boys all
turned out and there was nothing lacking
about their display. In fact, they were all
"strlctly in it. -
The hoodlum and street ruffan had to
take back seat during the parade Sew
seral exhibitions of the Tar Flatism were
prominently and forcbly rebukcu by by
! ISLANDERS and the result was good.
| Gen. tombstone Jones. as chief of staff
of the grand marshal, acquitted himself
| as a true soldier. General Jones is fine
! rider and on horseback presents Il COM
handing appearance.
La Tropa de Caballeros Angelcnos,
! sixty strong, under the able direction OF
| Division Marshal John Cline. were really
one of the most beautiful features of the
| parade. Mr.. Cline is entitled to great
credit for having organized them as thor
