The herald. [microfilm reel] (Los Angeles [Calif.]) 1893-1900, 1895-04-20

Yesterday was the day of days as far as
the parade was concerned. 1t was a little
late about starting but that gave the
favored multitude on the tribunes bet
ter opportunity to gaze upon the royal
assemblage about the throne and feast the
eyes on the exquisite derby day gown
which the Queen wore and the embellish-
ments that had been added to the throne.
The awning in front of that artistic
structure was lined beneath with broad
str pes OF red, white and blue bunting.
Each of the pillars supporting the roof
was adorned with handsome banner of
red and white striped alike with blue
velvet field over which golden stars were |
dotted. Pennants of the red. white and !
blue were stretched from the front of the |
roof to the awning poles; and on either !
side of the stairway entrance large ana |
handsome bunting flag was planted to |
catch what breeze there might be stirring. |
Again the merciful fog shut off the sun s
glare, and with the punctuality that has
marked each of her appearances La Reina
and her retinue arrived at the regal
stamping ground yesterday at precisely
o'clock,
J. 0. Koe ptii again escorted her majesty
to the throne-and then came the afore
mentioned wait. During the prolonged
pause one OF the ubiquitous camera
tiends, this time a widow, to Judge
by her garb. ambed into the arena and
in the face of the assembled multitude
cooked her camera on the Queen and her
court, pressed the button, and the sun,
which peeped out about that time, pre-
sumably did the rest.
The Merchants association was seated
in state on the front of the central tri-
bune, in section set apart, and viewed
the parade after it came, and the tribunes
generally were better filled than they have
been before with the same laudable inten
ton.
Exactly at o'clock Zone hour late)
