done in Los Angeles by Los Angeles
artist and the Los Angeles Lithograph
Company. There were many calls at
Fiesta headquarters yesterday for posters
by persons who wanted to send them to
various places in the state and in the
East. In the afternoon the advertising
committee and Captain Steere of the adj
viso y board arranged for a thorough dis
trbution OF the posters in the East. The
Southern Pacific and the Santa Fe Rail-
roads will place them in the hands of all
their agents from Canada to New. Orleans
and from the Pacific to the Atlantic.
They will also be sent to agents in Europe.
and in this way find their way not only
into England, Germany, France and
Italy, but China. Japan and other off
countries. A large number OF the posters
will be sent to San Francisco. The widest
publicity will thus be given in charm
ing manner to the approaching celebra-
tion. thus supplementing the advertising
matter which has heretofore gone to so
many sections OF the country.
The committee on trades. manufactur-
ers' and producers displays are feeling
very iubilant over the arrangements that
have been made with H. A. Unruh of
Santa Anita, manager OF the business in
terests of E. ]. Baldwin. Mr.. Unruh is

has undertaken to send for the parade
mentioned some OF the most valuable as
we'll as the most renowned running
horses ever produced. He not only will
lingly consented to the sending of the val
liable horses. but suggested other splen-
did attractions in the equine line. j..
The public will be treated to sight Of
the Great Grimstead and his two wondet-
full sons, Gano and VeIano the ancestors
of the greatest number of phenomenal
running horses in proportion to the num-
Der of their progeny OF any line OF
thoroughbreds known to history. GanO
carried the state record for three-quarters
of mile for seven years, while Verano
has been q phenomenal stake winner.
1t is likely also that many of the noted
horses which will be in Los Angeles dur
ing Fiesta week will be seen in the pa
rades, at least in some of them. The
horsemen are talking about getting up a
feature of their own. but have not as yet
perfected any details. ~.
: The members of the Gentlemen's Riding
Club will meet at Agricultural Park Sum
day afternoon at 2:30 O'Clock, mounted
and ready for drill.
The club has been informed by Director
General Meyberg that it will be assigned
to very important duty during La Fiesta,
provided he is assured OF sufficient
number equipped and ready for service.
The duty to be assigned the club is to
act as guard of honor to the Queen and
her court. The club will meet tonight at
1880 O'Clock, when business of the utmost
importance will be brought up. AL mem
bers are requested to attend.
The club has adopted its costume and
disposed of a number OF knotty points
about equipments, so that the task OF
getting in shape for such military evolu-
tions as they will perform is now before
them. After next Sunday it is expected
to change the time for riding to meet the
convenience of the greatest number OF the
mem bers. Some OF them are disposed to
think that early morning rides, say at 6
o'clock, these fine spring mornings, will
fill the bill. If possible the organization
viii arrange many enjoyable l rides after
need not yet be crossed. 49,.
Especial attention is being paid by the
amusement committe to the music for the
carnival ball. The latest ideas in dan ce
music, both in the music itself and the
number and kind of instruments in the
orchestra, will be carefully considered by
the committee. and the fullest attention
paid to the details that are so necessary
in enhancing the pleasure of the partici-
pants.
DR.. Kennedy has about copmleted the
programme for the tournament of sports,
and it will be very interesting one. If
the fun does not wax fast and furious at
Athletic Park on the occasion of this
event it will not be because there is not
splendid programme.
The committee is also pleased with the
progress being made in the arrangements
for the installation of the carnival govern
ment. A very large attendance is expect
ed on this occasion, and it will be the
thing to appear at the Pavilion en- masque.
The occasion will not be allowed to be
punctuated with wearisome breaks, but
everything will go off like clock-work,
and the speeches Of the carnival officials
will be short and to the point. They will
their tongues shall not wag an unreasona-
BILE length OF time.
The plan to organize company of
young lady bicyclists for the floral parade
is still meeting with much favor. tits
very desirable that those young ladies
who will take part in the floral parade in
the p, manner 1,a a described, should confer
John L. Griffith is chairman. His office
is in the Potomac block. 1t was learned 3
yesterday that Miss Lulu Donnatin,
daughter of Mr.. Donnatin, master car
builder OF the Southern Pacific railroa d.
is working heart and soul among her
companions and friends in furtherance
of this plan, and the floral committee
wishes some young ladies in other Sec
tions of the city to take hold of the mat
ter and work with their friends. There
are poems in color which could be rep
resented by the young ladies of the city
If they will enter into the spirit of the
occasion: The indications are that this fea-
ture will be carried out and in most
beautiful and brilliant manner.
Last night q rehearsal for the carnival
concerts took place at Blanchard Fitz-
gerald music hall on South Spring street.
1t was very satisfactory affair and shows
that the singers of the city are very much
interested in the coming musical event.
Mr.. Charles T.. Day conducted the rehear-
sal and his enthusiasm is awaking cores
ponding energy on the part of the singers.
The rehearsals will be of weekly occur
renee hereafter. and more frequently, if
necessary.
The books containing the choruses of
the oratorios and OF which the dedication
music will consist have arrived and are
now ready for distribution. The works
OF Beethoven, Handel and Hayden will
be employed.
Those having rooms for rent during
Fiesta week are responding to the invi-
tation of the committee to list the same
at headquarters. The good points OF this
plan are too obvious to be gone into at
this time. The advantages to all con.
cerned are generally recognized and the
prospects are that a full registrationswill
be made with the authorities
