THE SANTA ROSA FETE.

In the multitude of flower festivals OF
various degrees and merit which have been
engaging the attention of California ever
since Easter it would seem that there might
be some danger of surfeit of sweet things
and that even queens of beauty would cease
to have charm. That there has been no
evidence of any WEAKNESS on the part Of the
public with the prolonged repetition of fes-
tivals, is one Of the best proofs of the inf
mite variety possible in such fetes and the
unceasing delight which humanity finds at
this season in the glory of blooms and
blossoms and the beauty of fair maidens
moving among them.
While almost every city and town Of any
note in the State will have something in the
way Of flower show during the season,
especial honor will be given to those where
the people have had the energy to raise the
fete to the dignity of an open air festival,
broad enough to include the whole town in
its scope and brilliant enough to increase
the fame of the State and attract visitors
from every side. Among these towns Santa
Rosa will take rank, and if half the expecta-
tions of her friends are realized the grand
fiesta which she holds this week will give
her repute abroad as a festal city not un-
worthy to be associated with Los Angeles
and Santa Barbara.
The arrangements for the festival include
all the features that custom has rendered
familiar in such celebrations. There are to
be flower show, brilliant tableau and
ceremony at the Atheneum, street parade
of fower-adorned carriages, open-air
concerts, battle Of flowers and great
floral ball. Around these familiar observ.
ances, however, there will be woven thou
sand new fancies Of decoration, ceremony
and merriment. There is no section o.
California that does not offer to its peopl,
some charm or advantage peculiar to itself
out Of which they can devise some move
attraction and achieve some unrivaled re
suit. Santa Rosa has abundant charms ant
advantages of this kind in her surrounding
country to draw upon, and with the artist
skill of her fair women to arrange them fo
display, we may be sure her gala days viii
be distinctly marked from those of othe
cities, and have an individual grace an,
glory that will remain in the memory Q
those who see they as things of beauty an
Joys forever.-S. F. Call.
