oOclety IHeh drc ITO more exempt lruu
the feeling of making the Fiesta big
success, than all other classes of citizens,
and that is the universal feeling this year.
1t will be fine thing for fraternal orders
to muster in force, and it will be a most
attractive feature of the Fiesta parades.
A communication was received from
Chairman Wilhartitz of the music COM
mittee yesterday from W. W. wyckhoff of
Riverside, stating that a wcll-balanced
chorus OF from thirty to fifty can come
from that city to participate in the Fiesta
concerts, and that there is an enthusiast
tic desire on their part to join the massed
chorus. Mr.. Wyckhoff asked for infor-
nation with reference to railroad rates
and other things which will be brought
before the advisory board.
The organization of the chorus is pro-
crossing satisfactorily, and Choral Direc-
tor Day is sending out invitations to
singers in the city who do not belong to
any of the various societies which have
already been invited.
At a meeting Of the committee yester-
day, Mr.. Cassasa was present and tender
ed the services of his splendid organiza-
ton in case it could be utilized. His kind
offer drew out some some very nice COM
pliments to the talented leader.
Yesterday the committee on trades and
manufacturers was notified that the
butchers of Los Angeles will take part in
the parade, and that they will make dis
play which will be unique and attractive.
They propose to go into the parade with
a very large and elaborate display.
Professor T. s. G. Lowe has informed
the Southern California committee that
he will for the Southern California
pageant send float which will be more
elaborate than that of last year, and for
floral day two coaches and six carriages
handsomely decorated with flowers and
train of thirty mountain horses. 1t
will be brilliant feature of the Fiesta.
At a meeting Of the floral committee
yesterday afternoon communication was
received from a lady living in Los An
geles in response to the request OF the
committee, making some charming sug-
gestions for floral day as follows:
"Having lived for a number of years in
Santa Barbara. had an excellent oppor-
tunity to notice the different arrange
ments and color schemes carried out in
their parades. One that I thought par
ticulariy striking was what they termed a
tub parade. Each young lady who was
the possessor of two wheeled cart would
decorate it with some pretty flower, one
color predominating, such as the scarlet
geranium, marguerite, and Gala lily. One
that 1 have in mind was indeed beautiful,
decorated entirely in a scarlet geranium,
the wheels being one mass of red flowers
surrounded by green leaves. In each cart
were seated two young ladies becomingly
gowned in keeping with the decoration,
thereby carrying out the color scheme.
One young lady carried parasol made of
the flowers, there being twenty five TO
thirty carts, each arranged with a differ.
ent flower.
Now, my idea is for the committee to
send communication to the young ladies
OF our Angel City, asking those who have
dog-carts, or carts of any description, to
decorate them in this way. Also there
are a number of children who have Shet-
land ponies and carts, and they also could
be decorated in this manner. 1t would be
well to let the cartssbe division by them
selves. The California poppy will then be

decorated in this lovely flower would de-
light the heart of the visitors.
Mr.. Schumacher stated that the people
OF Eagle Rock valley will arrange a floral
display characteristic of that pretty sec
ton, in which the noted Eagle rock will
figure. s"t 5aa6 sff uAi& si sei siR
The committee discussed their plans for
the parade, and decided to issue an ad-
dress to the public in, which, the, rules
governing it will be clearly set forth and
proper classification be made. af
Arrangements for the installation OF the
carnival government on Monday night of
Fiesta week were discussed yesterday af-
ternoon by the amusement committee.
Colonel w. H. Chamberlain met with the
committee for the first time, and was
made the head OF subcommittee to de-
wise programme for the interesting
event. 1t was partially arranged that
Fiesta headquarters will be the rallying
point at o'clock Monday evening for the
director general, advisory board, men,
bers OF the Fiesta committee and officials
of the carnival government, the latter in
costume. A procession will be formed,
which will move to the Pavilion, where
the installation takes place. 1t will be
accompanied by bands, and there will be
no objection to the participation. in the
procession OF all loyal subjects to the
Queen, en- masque.
The exercises at the: Pavilion will be
graced by the presence of the Queen and
her court, who will be loyal spectators of
the event. En- route to the Pavilion the
present city officials will be picked up at
the City Hall, and at the Pav71ion they
will relinquish their Offices to the Queens
officials, who, in assuming them, will de-
vote some time to showing up the various
delinquencies of their predecessors. Some
of the brightest and wittest minds of the
city will be honored by the Queen in
forming her government. The proceed
ings will be enlivened with exoellene
music. The committee has decided to
charge a nominal admission of rs cents to
all who are not masked, but Her Majesty
is indulgent to her. subjects in costume,
and all who attend the installation en-
masque will be admitted free.
/: The parade and artistic committees held
joint session yesterday afternoon. In
pursuance of the offer of Mrs. Harriet W.
Strong the committee decided to have
1000 pampas plumes in fiesta colors for
decorating the heads of the horses in the
