The San Francisco call. [volume] (San Francisco [Calif.]) 1895-1913, 1895-05-10

pure white with the prettiest effect. The
color of the car is pink also. The Queens
throne is covered with roses and the car is
carpeted with blossoms. From each of it's
four corners the arms for the support OF
the canopy reach up to the center, where a
great bunch OF flowers is suspended.
The Queens approach is hailed with de-
light and she acknowledges the greeting
with gracious smiles. Following behind is
guard of honor on horseback, a company
of ladies and gentlemen, all of them wear
ing the festival colors and garlands OF
flowers. These serve also as an escort to
the Governor and his staff, who follow in
carriages properly caparisoned in flowers
In the carriage with Governor Budd are
Paymaster General Chadbourne, Mayor
Woodward, President and Director General
Hardin. In a carriage following are
Colonel l. E. Doolittle, Colonel J. F.
Bergin, Colonel John S. Young aud Mayor
Sutro.
In still another carriage comes Captain
and Adiutant Smith of the Fifth Regi-
ment, Colonel W.. Younger, Colonel D.
B. Fairbanks, Commodore Con. O'Connor
and Colonel n. T. James; and in a fourth
carriage, Lieutenant Follis of the Second
Regiment and Colonel II. Kowalsky.
And now come the flowers themselves,
typified in an infinite variety of beautiful
conceits on wheels The line is led by
Grant o. Richards, city editor of the Re-
publican, with his wife and her sister and
Miss Edith Brooks. He is driving two
white horses and his rig is buried in flow
ers all of a delicate tint of yellow, accord
ing nicely with great canopy of the same
color, fashioned like an immense lamp
shade. The occupants are all in white.
Next is surrey with two white horses
driven tandem. 1t is beautiful little
thing, and calls out spontaneous applause
all down the line as it moves on. The sur
rey is built, seemingly, of delicately tinted
yellow roses. the trappings of the horses
are covered with them and swinging from
the hubs are two butterflies made of them.
Sitting up behind in the character of a
footman, nesting down behind, rather, in
a nest of roses, is little dark-eyed boy in
livery and plughat. This is very cute, and
the first prize is instantly awarded to it for
It's class in the minds of the mass on the
sidewalks. In the surrey sits Miss Ade-
laide Elliott, who is driving, and with her
is Miss Roberts.
Next is very beautiful turnout in white
flowers, driven and occupied by Miss Porter
and friends.
A two-horse surrey, done up in white anG
pink with MOSES, is driven by Miss Jennie
Marshall, and with her are the Misses Min
ME Weymouth and Sallie Hall, all of Clo-
verdale.
And now comes one of the most daring
conceits in the line. 1t is "Sunshine''-
one of the glorious triumvirate of sunshine,
fruit and flowers. Standing high up and
alone on an immense float is a tall and
beautiful girl, dressed in simple Greek
garb of white, with her light hair un-
loosed.
Back of her is white and gold sunburst,
and spreading before and beneath her is
the same. Lying in the flood of light in
the center of the float is the earth. A bril-
liant light effect, under the blaze of real
sunlight that beats upon it, is gained by a
network of gold threads that extend from
above and about the maiden to the shining
brass uprights at the right and left corners
of the float forward. 1t is a dazzlingly
beautiful thing, but must be very trying to
the fair figure who personifies the sun
Miss Grace Tuttle-unprotected as she was
by even so much as fern.
Miss Holman is driving very tasty rig
done up in grasses, ferns and flowers.
