anchors were wrought of white marguerites.
and Duchess roses on a ground of gray
moss formed the keel. The craft was a
model yacht of the modern pattern, with
the masts and sails of the approved trim,
martingale, spreader and all details COM
plete.
The three little daughters of Railroad
President Green, whose family are winter
ing in Santa Barbara-Mariorie, Doris and
Phyllis-rode in cart decorated with the
feathery wild mustard. Their gowns were
of white swivel-siIk, with deep ruffles of
lace, and they wore white straw hats
trimmed in yellow. Their white horses
were trimmed with the same bright bios
SONS. Their page, Arthur Smith, was COS
tuned in white and yellow.
An entirely novel coloring was noticed
in the decorations of the cart entered by
Messrs. Evans and Sedgwick, their flower
being the bright magenta bougainvilla.
Mrs. Roberts and Miss Rogers, the ladies
who rode with them, were very simply at
tired in white muslin.
II. F. Hunt and Miss A. n. Edwards
drove in phaeton which was transformed
into q great flower basket covered with
pink duchess rosebuds. Mr.. Hunt was
costumed in white and Miss Edwards in
pink.
Miss Chamberlain and Miss Howard, two
pretty blondes wearing cream colored
gowns, green sashes and simple straw hats
trimmed with green, drove in a Brighton
trap which was one of the prettiest and
one of the most deliberately decorated
vehicles in the procession. The entire
body, wheels and running gear were COW
cred with moss and green satin and the
decorations were of white violets in great
quantity with the delicate foliage of the
climbing asparagus and Banksia roses.
The harness of the span of white horses
was covered with green satin and decorated
with white violets. Behind them sat Henry
Howard attired as a footman in white and
green with snow white Esquimaux dog
beside him.
Peter Save, in an old silver-emb roidered
Spanish costume, rode a bay horse elab-
orately decorated with pink and white car
nations and Banksia roses.
Kinton Stevens, director of the Flower
Festival Association, was disguised as an
Arab sheikh. He wore genuine green
burnouse over his white cotton costume,
and his richly-colored turban was another
relic of the far East. His long Arab gun,
dagger and his spear were all
genuine. His white horse wore a silver
bride and his decorations were chiefly of
the mesembreanthum.
a. Lorenzo Goux, a tiny boy of six
on a white horse, represented
George Washington as a general, and was
attired in Continental military costume
of white satin, with a cooked hat and
powdered wig and queue.
One of the most charming novelties en-
tered was Roman chariot of graceful
forms drawn by three cream-colored horses
abreast. The shell-like vehicle was covered
with yellow marguerites, and yellow V
shaped canopy covered with yellow mar
guerites and fringed with papyrus rose on
a slender stem high above the heads of the
slim girl-drivers.
Constance G. Delaney and Mabel Nixon.
both of whom wore Roman costumes of
yellow silk and were bareheaded, with
their hair banged close the head and con-
fined by golden tillets Behind them was
perched a little Nubian slave and pair of
jet black Nubian warriors, barelegged, in
yellow costumes. ran at their horses heads.
Another novelty was the grain-seeder
entered by Mr.. Fonnereau of Santa Ynez.
This was tastefully trimmed with gray
moss, wild hyacinths and pink roses and
drawn by two gray horses with lavender
harness. Mr.. Fonnereau and friend, cos
tuned as gentlemen farmers, in white, with
broad-trimmed hats, were the occupants.
Tho hol1 n1rh IF bo Porharo
High School turned out in force in hand
some float, representing a Venetian gon-
dola floating on a blue sea, wrought in
wild hyacinths. The gondola was COM
pletely covered with white rosebuds, with
q border of red roses about its deck.
Under rose-covered canopy four trou-
badors, in appropriate costume, with |
stringed instruments, played Venetian |
airs as they passed the tribunes and were
rewarded with volley of flowers. The
boatmen, in white costumes, with scarlet
and blue sashes, piled fower-trimmed
oars. These were impersonated by Casper
and Frank Lopez, George Bond and
Thomas Stoddard.
Peveril Meigs and Fayette Birtch, in
white costumes with gay sashes, officiated

Francis Lord, Robert Lehman, Duncan
McDuff, Estanislau Corderi and Joseph
and Hicke Minassian.
Mrs. Edwin Sawyer and her friend, Miss
Burling of San Francisco, attired in white
gowns with blue ribbons, drove in a cart
decorated with white marguerites and
forget-me- nots. Their white horse wore
a pale blue satin harness with rosette
binders.
One of the prettiest exhibits in the pro-
cession parted with half It's glory before it
fell into line. This was entered by Bert
and G. N. Baker, and was richly trimmed
with duchess roses, with brodiea harps
covering the hubs of the wheels. 1t was
drawn by four spirited horses,
but the leaders had considerable stperhu-
Gus spirit and broke their pink harness
and crippled Bert Baker with well-aimed
kick, and bid fair to wreak vengeance on
the entire class. but concluded to roll in
the dust instead.
The carriage consequently entered as a
span instead of four-in- hand, and the
pretty girl occupants, Miss Buell. and Miss
Ida Dudden, daintily dressed in lace
pink gowns, lost their own pretty
color and wore pale faces for the rest of the
