North Spring street. In large space set
apart for the purpose, forty busy women
have been engaged in cutting and sewing
the shields, flags and bunting to be used
in the decorations, until as result OF
their labors big piles OF material have
been made ready for use. The work is
not completed yet. and will not be Tor
several days. 1t has been means OF dis
tributing the Fiesta funds where it has
been of great value to many who neeoeo
the work.
It will take many thousand yards OF
material to carry out the decorations this
wear over last, and with the decorations
are blended the stars and stripes;
The Pacific Coast Steamship Company
has volunteered as contri button TO La
Fiesta to transport free of charge all the
Chinese costumes and effects which they
propose to bring from San Francisco for
Use in their display. This will be very
valuable to the Chinese merchants in ar
ranging their parade, and enables them TO
bring some gorgeous paraphernaha from
San Francisco, the expense OF transport
ing which would otherwise be very expen-
sive and possibly beyond their power to
arrange for.
The Chinese have very nearly settled
their plans for participation i'll the Fiesta
national day pageant, aud will be ready
to give details in few days. They will
not only have professional display, but
likely in them they will give the Ameri-
cans their ideas of fairyland. If they are
able to carry out this design they will
present something descriptive. of their
inner life which has never before been
made the subject of Illustration in this
country.
