The herald., 1895-04-21

Mrs. Sumner P. Hunt in their open
surrey followed. The decorations
were dainty and of pink and white i.n-
mortelles, then came East Los Ange-
les turnout and small girl in buggy
decorated with flags.
The Chamber Of Commerce float was
transformed into a floral temple, the pill
lars were wound with garlands of yellow
and white marguerites, and in other
ways the flower day was observed in its
decorations.
An immense float designated as City
of flowers. The ground work was
of white roses, and through the CEN
ter was scroll of green on this in large
letters were the words City Parks" in
yellow flowers. The whole was surmount-
ed by a fancy border-the coloring similar
to begonia beds seen in parks.
Mrs. j. II. f. Peck and Mrs. f. W.
Braun drove mail phaeton brilliantly
dec grated with yellow marigolds. The
ladies were harmoniously garbed in yell
low, with leghorn hats trimmed with
marigulds. and the harness covered with
yellow satin showed in fine contrast to
the black horses. Mrs. Peck was driv-
ing.
A cavalcade of gayly decorated ladies
and cavaliers led out the Santa Monica
flower float.
The ladies were from the Santa Monica
Ladies Riding Club; Misses Lizzla Car
rllo Miss Sherry. Gloria Lowthan and
Zoe Lowthan. Escorting them were the
gentlemen riders: Captain Victor Hoff,
Elogio Carrillo. George Sints, Frank
, Weaver and Mr.. Middlekopp.
The float was fine miniature steam
launch manned by Neale Henry and
Sadie Mohen, two little girls in white.
with parasols of flowers, and Burt
Mooser and Charley Bassett in sailor cos
tunes.
The base of the float was made of
sheaves of green barley standing upright,
their bearded heads in air, and the
launch showed above them like boat in
the tules, and the words Santa Monica in
letters of scarlet geranium showed against
the green background. The hui was of
Ceine Forester roses, the waterline of
marigolds, as was the smokestack. The
ensign, from which floated the. pennant,
was made of yellow marguertes, and
from the mast, which was wound with
smilax and roses, toated the American
flag.
The Bosshard Los Angeles Band led
two tandems buried in callas and roses in
the latter of which sat driver Tom Beat
tie and Peter Martins and Bob Adams.
The handsome Examiner engine float
San Joaquin Valley Railroad, followed,
leading the pretty Long Beach oyster
filled with pearls.
The Miller & McGrath flower float pre-
ceded the Fresno river boat and the two
were regally decorated.
DR.. and Mrs. A. L.. De Souchet ap-
peared in brougham completely covered
with marguerites and drawn by team of
dapple gray horses. The harness was
bound with white wrappings and hidden
by bands of the same flow
ers as used on the carriage
A small phaeton with canopy top
ui1 nd ,v
Shetland pony with the same color
scheme of decorations was entered by
Mrs. De Souchet.
4 Desperate efforts were made to obtain
the names of the happy prize-winners.
but the inquirer was met with look of
blank ignorance that bespoke the general
tone of the management of the awards.
The whole thing was so lnexpressibly
tangled and confused that the judges
themselves did not know to whom they
were giving the premiums, SO simply
awarded by number and then roamed
about in the dense jam, laden with BAN
ners seeking the victims of their choice.
The following is the list OF classes and
their judges; if anyone thinks he took a
prize he will do well to clean his gun and
and system of recording the awards was
not at all commendable to the managing
q ommittee.
