pageants. The first modest arrangements

from this enterprising army a division of
over 800 will come from all along the line.
1t has been learned that the Fire Chiefs of
the West and party, and the California edi-
torial association and party will far exceed
the original calculations. The same holds
true for the race meeting to be given under
the auspices Of the 9th District Agriculture
Association, the entries showing that nearly
200 horses will participate and run for some
of the $40, 600 in purses.
The carnival programme has been crystal
lied into series of entertainments and
amusements, that the committees have no
hesitancy in recommending, from the in.
stallation of the carnival government to the
close of the revels.
One of the most brilliant features of Ma
tional day, which has now definitely ma
teralized, is that which will be made by the
Chinese merchants of Los Angeles, who will
in division several blocks in length illus.
trate in magnificent style some historical
event in the ancient Chinese Empire. Other
features will be richly costumed company
of Spanish cavaliers, troop of light horse
cavalry, floral pageant two miles in length
and Battle of Flowers, such as could be
given only in a land of sunshine. The series
of official floats of the carnival are of rare
beauty and quite depart from conventional
lines.
The widespread interest in LaFiesta is
evidenced by the very favorable railroad
rates announced by the railroads. and the
engagement of Accommodations at the hotels.
Los Angeles is already putting on its gala
attire, and its citizens believe they will be
able to meet the expectations of the visitors
in the week of carnival, which will soon be
inaugurated with all its pomp and gorgeous
ness, its merriment and relaxation from the
cares of business and professional life.
