IN the parade, and Mr.. Latham has heard
from number OF Riverside citizens who

The amusement committee is at work
on several charming surprises in the
events which are under their especial
care. Just now they are working upon a
ball programme for which an especial de-
sign has been made by Mr.. Fred Behre
They are also perfecting their plan: for

tickets to the first row of the balcony
will be 50. the next row $3.50, and the bal
ance of the seats in that and the second
gallery 81.
Members Of the committee have already
had numerous applications for tickets,
and from persons who did not particip pate
last year. In fact, as the time approaches
1t can be seen that the carnival spirit will
take possession of the public generally
this season, and that there will be no
lack of revelers.
Three weeks only before La Fiesta de
los Angeles is ushered in, and the various
committees find them selves with many
details to carry to completion. 1t will be

scene at the headquarters committee

The demand for the handsome half
(hSet litho graphs containing the Queens
proclamation has been something phenom-
Pnal. Every day since they were issued
there have beei from twenty to fifty peo- T
PIE at Fiesta headquarters. who have Sc
tured copies to send to their friends in
ehe East. Both the Southern Pacific and
Santa. Fe have sent the Autograph to
their local Offices throughout the country. /
Ind returns have already been received +
from some of them.
The public comfort committee had a h
meeting last night, at which they con-
hdered plans for the accommodation OF /
visitors and listened to reports on the
progress Of the pamphlet or pocket guide

The Herald is indebted to Steckel, the
photographer, for the handsome ph oto-
Sraph of Mrs. Modlni-Wood. the Queen OF
he Fiesta, from which the portrait pub
hshed was made.
Director-General Meyberg held an ex-
ended consultation with Chief of Police

hours. Both the Directorate General and
ihe Chief are DESTROYS OF affording the
Pity all the police protection that the
Fiesta will require. tits, of course. to be
txpected that on an occasion Of this
character numerous crooks, sneak thieves
ind pickpockets will be drawn to the
Pity. When they arrive they will find that
lmple provision has been made to care
