John Cody drove Flora, the 2:30A beauty,
in a sulky, The wheels were filed in solid
and the flower used was the wild mar
guerite. This exhibit was notable as being
the only bicycle sulky in the field. Hugh
Ramsay, in the same class, had different
kind of sulky. Frank Colborn looked well
on a bay decorated with red roses. Mr..
Colborn wore Spanish moss leggings.
Misses Belle and Mamie Den looked
charming in their low phaeton, drawn by a
black horse The carriage was decoraed
profusely with marigold the back of the
vehicle having been curved up over the
heads of the occupants, where it formed a
canopy of one solid mass of golden BIOS
sons Miss Fairbank and Miss Colt were
much admired in their low buggy, which
was decorated with sweet peas of pink and
white varieties. The ladies wore pink
silk, white chif hats and pink silk gauze
The harness was of pink satin ribbon, no
less than $50 yards being used. The two
white horses had to draw a great store of
floral ammunition as we'll as the two fair
occupants.
Misses Barbara and Lizzie Hernster had
an exceptionally pretty phaeton, drawn by
awhile horse and decorated with white mar
guerites and brodima. The ladies were in
white. Over a white canopy futtered a
butterfly of marguerites, and others had
apparently just alighted on the back sad
die.
Gerald Arthur Shannon little boy on
pony, made a grand showing in white
satin and lavender, with regular cooked
hat.

flowers named and formed no mean part
of the picturesque in the procession.
Myrtle Lloyd and Nettie Cole rode in a
4 IL
rosebuds. On the tigers seat in the rear
sat little Ruby Garland and beside her
tipped basket lay, with roses apparently
falling from it. The young ladies and
their little page were costumed in white,
the former with their hair powdered, and
their white horse wore white harness and
collar of white rosebuds.
Miss Everhart of Montecito drove IN
cart deliberately trimmed with pink
Duchess rosebuds. The two ladies wore
pale pink costumes and pink trimmed
hats, and their white horse was decked
with pink satin harness and pink roses.
Ronald Thomas, who took the first prize
in the horseman's class, was mounted upon
his handsome sorrel and was in a white
corduroy riding suit. Saddle cloth, collar,
martingale and stirrups were solidly COW
cred with yellow marguerites, with a few
cup gold peoples to accent the lines. His
bride was white satin, with knots of bios
SONS here and there.
W. H. Maris, who took the first prize
among the marshals aids, rode hand
some gray horse, with saddle-cloth, collar
and bride covered with cream-colored
banksia roses and scarlet geraniums in
contrasting bodies of color. His sash was
red, with knots of cream blossoms, and on
his black cavaliers hat were a cream
colored plume, a scarlet rosette and scarlet
blossoms.
Mrs. L. Brunette and Mrs E. O. Fergas
showed a buggy which was really what it
seemed "a fower-basket. The wicker
work, handle and all, were lavender, pro-
duced by the popular wild hyacinth.
The framework was of wire netting. The
harness of the single horse called for by
this class was trimmed with lavender rib
bons, and he appeared proud to have the
duty of drawing the two charming ladies
behind him.
Next to the floats the most beautiful
entry in the procession was the open Ian
dau belonging to Dr. Richard J. Hall,
president of the Flower Festival Associa-
ton. The vehicle, pole, singletree, wheels,
body and even the running gear beneath
was covered with pink carnations of that
delicate shade known to floriculturists as
La Infanta, artistically mingled with
sprays of feathers the same shade. The
vehicle was lined with pink satin and in it
sat pretty, dark-haired Sarah Boyce, the
daughter of w. a. Boyce of San Fran
cisco.
The young lady's dress was a dream
that is hard to describe. 1t was watered
changeable silk, apple-green and pink,
with a pink satin stripe The hat was an
imported one from Pans, entirely of pink
roses, with rim of green leaves around
the crown, and green pompon with two
rhinestone ornaments on either
side. The gloves were pink and of shoulder
length. The parasol was of pink silk.
The driver, Steven Valenzuela, wore a
stunning costume of pink satin, embroid-
cred with silver. Four prancing blacks
drew the vehicle, each in pink harness and
deliberately trimmed with pink carnations,
wearing heavy collars of the blossom and
even having the flowers entangled in their
jetty names. Accompanying this vehicle
were six Spanish out-riders in ancient cos
