Some OF the members proposed that
floats should be designed and others sug-
gested that the members turn out dressed
in linen duster, valise and cane
Whatever they decided to do will be
done in princely style, however, judging
from the manner in which they appended
their names to the subscription lists and
handed over yellow pieces.
They will meet again next Sunday after
noon at o'clock at the Stowell Block.
The order for the banner that the ladies
will present to La Fiesta de Los Angeles
will be placed with a local firm in few
days.
The encouragement that the promoters
OF the plan have received from those they
have approached on the matter has been
so fiattering that all doubt has been re-
moved as to their being able to raise all
the money necessary.
Miss Wills has been appointed treas
urer, and all moneys collected for the pur-
pose will be placed in her hands. Miss
Wills will present the matter for the con-
OF Women's Clubs today and ask their CO.
operation.
Mrs. Joseph A. Clark has announced
her intention to canvass for donations
among the ladies of Columbia Rebecca
Lodge No. 1884, and subscription lists will
be circulated at once among the teachers
in the public schools.
This interest in the matter proves that
the ladies are earnestly engaged in the
work and when their good offices are Sc
cured success is assured. The ladies who
will solicit funds have been provided with
lists signed by Miss Wills, in order to pre-
vent any imposters from collecting money
for that purpose.
Subscriptions for the fund can be left
by ladies at the Herald business Office in
the Bradbury building and will be ac-
knowledged through these columns.
Mayor Carlson of San Diego has adj
dressed communication to Fred X.
Rule, of the Southern California Commit
tee, in which he accepts the invitation on
behalf of the city to participate in La
Fiesta. He says:
Il am quite certain that the city OF San
Diego will send a creditable float, as the
good that resulted from that of last year
has left lasting impression with the peo-
pie here.
1t is the intention to provide sufficient
number of reserved seats at q nomina
cost on Floral Day around Westalke
Park. An effort will be made by the COM
m'ttee to secure the right of the property
owners of vacant lots on Seventh street
b., al. =.
the public from spectators wEo may con-
struct unsafe and undesirable eating
stands. The plans of the committee in
clude comfortable seats, without danger
of injury to wearing apparel 1t is ex-
pected that the sale of these seats w.
equal the expense of construction, so tina
next year they can be used again without
cost to the Fiesta committee.
The parade committee is busily engaged
securing horses for the floats and for use
generally during the professions. 1t is
estimated that at least 200 horses will be
needed, and those who decide to let ami
mails are requested to send in their appli-
cations to Mr.. Pridham on Los Angeles
street.
The advisory board is constantly in re-
ceipt of communications from friends of
ladies in this city, suggesting names for
Queen of La Fiesta These friends gen.
orally describe the beauty, grace and other
qualifications of their preferences in the
most glowing terms. But as the Fiesta
committee keep their own council regard
ing this matter, the letters are silently
placed on file. The latest name that has
been brought to the notice of the COM
mittee is that of Mrs. Stewart, of No. 170s
Grand avenue.
A. J. Mum, of San Jacinto, has offered
to supply 100 "wild' Indians for S400.
For this sum the Indians will be delivered
at the San Jacinto Railroad dapot and
thence all expenses to be betrayed by the
committee. Another proposition is to
allow Mr.. Mum to give prj'/ate exhibitions
with the Indians.
