grown UP during the past two years,
which adds one more attraction to the
beautiful country, and will cause many

her most gorgeous raiment when the
air is balmy and full of the aroma of
fruits and flowers, which are poured
out in bewildering prOfusion in that
favored cline. The Fiesta occupies an
entire week, and into it is crowded a
varied program, magnificent in con-
ception and splendid in execution. The
week begins with a dainty spectacle
most appropriate to the occasion, the
reception of the queen of La Fiesta. the
queen OF the angels, who is attended by
q train of glittering maids of honor and
/ cavaliers. Into her regel hands are
given the keys of the city and its gov
eminent for a week. From this time
the revels allowed by her majesty be
gin. and are celebrated in a style be-
lifting such a divinely beautiful and
august sovereign, including street par
