Their cooperation will add an impetus
to La Fiesta and will bring large num-
Der OF people from the northern part to
witness the festivities although no official
notice has been received, it Is known that
special cars will be run from San Fran
cisco and way stations during Fiesta week,
and that majority OF the members Of the
Chamber of Commerce will come here in
Pullman cars, engaged for their private
use.
DIR. Fleming, chairman of the Native
California committee will have an old
time Spanish caretta in his division, that
will attract general attention. The caretta
is cart, used IN by-gone days for the
purpose of hauling merchandise, and is
made of trees in a rude manner. The
wheels are simply parts of trees followed
out and long tongue, also made OF a
tree, connects the caretta with the yokes
Of the oxen, that are fastened to their
horns.
At present one OF these old-fashioned
carts is in existence in Mexico in its orig
inal state, and it is the intention OF the
committee to send for it and have the real
article in the parade.
The parade committee has in view
four day parades and one night parade,
although the advisory board is of the
opinion that parades should be feature
Of every day during Fiesta week.
The systematic work of the parade com
mittee is not generally known. Before
mapping out the different parts to COM
pose parade, the committee carefully
measures every foot that will be occupied
by the floats, carriages and any other fea-
lures, not emitting the spaces between the
different floats. In this manner, Chair
man Pridham has calculated that the ale
gorical procession will be fully 5000 feet in
length.
If the divisions Of particular parade
are not of sufficient length. the committee
propose to consolidate two parades and
thus make better showing.
Many inquiries have been made as to
the line of march for the parade, but no
definite action has been taken in the mat
ter. The committee will as far as posi-
BILE traverse the principa, thoroughfares,
such as Spring street, Main street and
Broadway Much depends, however, up.
on the responses the collection committees
receive from the business men. If the
latter show liberal spirit and contribute
freely toward the Fiesta fund.- the COM
mittee will see that these merchants are
compensated as far as possible by the at
fractions such as parades, etc.
The programme for the week has as yet
not been officially adopted, but a general
outline will show that the public will have
sufficient amusements provided them to
keep them busy from morning until night.
With the exception of Friday, races will
| take place every day at Agricultural Park.
On Monday the Queen with her entire
court will arrive and will be officially re-
eeived by the Mayor, Director General
Meyberg, and the advisory board. Mayor
RAIDER, in brilliant speech will deliver to
her Majesty the golden key Of the city,
and from that time until Saturday the
city will be under her royal rule.
In the evening the different Fiesta
| committees and the general public will
! march en- masque to Hazards Pavilion
and will en- route call for the city officials
at the City Hall. Arriving at the Pavil-
! ion, the maskers will witness the installa-
