The Fiesta parade committee is sitting
up nights, engaged in solving the problem
OF the arrangement of the different street
pageants for carnival week. .T
1t is a task of no small magnitude, ow-
ing to the variety and extent of the dis
rious committees.
The committee is endeavoring to group
the parades in accordance with the
original intention of combining them to
four days, and will carry out that plan, if
possible, with due regard to harmonious
effect.
At a meeting held yesterday afternoon
the subject was discussed at some length,
and it is expected that final determina-

will be most interesting, the material be-
ing SO varied that there will be no repeti-
tiOns.
One question which has received careful
attention at the hands of the parade COM
mittee is that of the illumination of the
night display of the Pageant of the Pacific.
The committee has determined that no
skyrockets or fireworks of dangerous
character will be allowed in this illumina-
tion. 1t will be OF q brilliant character,
but confined to scintillating fireworks that
will not be menace to anyone. This ad-
junct to the pageant will be under the di-
| rect supervision of experienced men. and
the completest precautions will be taken
to carry out the ideas of the committee.
The arrangements for illuminating the
! pageant will be such that the artistic
beauty of the elaborate floats and their
richly costumed characters will be brought
out with fine effect and it will be most
Il gorgeous display.
The committee has not vet secured
enough horses to carry out its plans,
and any one who has horses to rent dur
ing carnival week is requested to address
the parade committee.

are growing in magnitude. and it will be
larger and II ore beautiful than antici-
patcd. The assurances received by the
committee of contributions of flowers and
OF intending participants are coming in

however, that there is no limit to the
list, and urges every one who can do SO
to join the increasing throng who have
determined to make this such magnifi-
cent outpouring of our floral resources as
TO put the finishing touch to splendid
celcbration. Arrangements are now I'M
