the advisory board at La Fiesta head
quarters For this registration nominal
fee will be charged, according to the num-
Der OF rooms the parties have to let.
A complete list OF these locations and
rooms will be published in the form Of a
pocket book, together with such informa-
ton regarding streets and places of inter-
est as will form complete guide to
strangers.
These books will be distributed among
the passengers on incoming trains, and
the visitors will be enabled to select where
they desire to remain during their stay
here, before they have arrived. In order
to further accommodate the visitors, the
committee will have an attendant at some
convenient place down town to direct
them in whatever manner they desire.
The Riding Club will create decided
sensation when it appears for the first
time in the procession. The club consists
now of about fifty members, and it is ex-
pected that their number will be enforced
with at least twenty-five.
The uniform adopted by the club is not
only handsome but striking. The men,
bers will be attired in a dark, tight-fitting
sack-coat, white duck riding pants, reg
ular riding boots, black derby hat and
light brown kid gloves.
The horses will be of uniform size and
color, as far as possible, and the members
will receive lessons from an experienced
riding teacher. They will commence

The floral committee is studying up
many interesting features for this de-
lightful pageant. In connection with the
displays by citizens they desire to suggest
that persons who wish to offer their SER
vices to design and carry out decorations,
should supply the committees with their
names and addresses so that if intending
paraders want their services they can be
informed Of it, the committee acting in
this line es kind of bureau of informa-
ton.
The committee will exercise considera-
BILE supervision over the entries of dis
plays, in order to give high standard to
the pageant. 1t has been the experience
IN flower parades that individuals attempt
to participate who consider themselves
decorated if they have flowers in their
buttonholes, but such ideas will not pass
muster in the makeup OF the floral par
ado. These points will be covered in the
rules to be adopted shortly, and which
will be given wide publicity.
The advisory board held its regular sess-
ion last evening to hear the reports from
the chairmen of the different committees.
The amusement committee submitted
the following report:
At meeting Of the amusement COM
mittee, held Tuesday, 9Th inst, the in
stallation of the Carnival government as a
humorous feature for opening La Fiesta,
Monday, April 18th, the general plan out
lined was as follows:
The advisory board and committeeman
of La Fiesta, together with those selected
to take part in the affair as officials of the
Carnival City government, will meet at
Fiesta headquarters about 7 O'Clock p. m.
1t is intended that this shall constitute a
strictly humorous feature of La Fiesta.
with the idea that the feeling of enjoy.
gayeties of Fiesta week, and to this end it
is desired that all participants congregat-
ing at Fiesta headquarters should BE- in
costume and masked, A procession will
be formed, in which any one wishing to
take part may join, headed by music, and
march to the City Hall, where the regular
city officials will be in waiting and es-
corted to Hazards Pavilion. Here the
regular exercises of installing the Carni-
val government will take place. Brief
speeches of abdication and succession in
office will be made. 1t is intended to
have these speeches of a peculiarly pointed
character, and calculated to make this
part of the affair interesting and amusing.
The Queen and her court should be in
attendance on this occasion as spectators
only, but occupying the place of honor.
We have decided that it is better to
charge nominal admission of % cents
in order that some control may be held
over those attending the affair. 1t is be-
lieved wise, however, as an inducement to
merry making, that those presenting
themselves at the Pavilion en- masque and
in costume be admitted free. The band ac-
companying the procession should also be
retained for occasional pieces of music
for the exercises of amusement
The Pavilion has a seating capacity of
about 1000 seats on the main floor, of
which the owners of the hall furnish HOO
seats. The balance of 900 seats, if re-
quired, will have to be supplied at the ex-
pense of the committee.
There are 700 seats arranged in the first
balcony and 5000 in the upper ba cony.
This makes 300 seating capacity in all,
besides which there is standingnlpom for
about 100. -
AS the additional seats referred to will
be required for the musical festivals,
which it is proposed holding at the Pavil~
ion, the expense of obtaining same should
not be directly charged to the installation
of the Carnival Government.
We have not calculated the expense of
lighting the Pavilion or advertising this
particular feature OF La Fiesta, but do
not consider that it is apart from the gen.
eral expenses Of the week and that they
will cut much of figure.
Aside from lighting and advertising.
the only expense we contemplate now in
connection with the installation of the
Carnival government, will be ticket takers
and ushers, and possibly the renting of
some costumes. At most, the expense
