COMMISSIONER MORTALITY OBJECTS TO JAMES B.
REYNOLDS or THE UNIVERSITY SETTLE
MENT. As SCHOOL TRUSTEE
There was a long discussion yesterday at the
meeting of the Board OF Education when the ques-
ton OF appointing a school trustee IN the Tenth
Ward was called for consideration. There were
ten candidates one was Henry Henschel. a trus-
tee who was appointed year ago to I'LL vacancy,
and James b. Reynolds. OF No q De.ancey-st. His
appointment was urged most theoretically by Com
missioner Hubbe!l who said the candidate was
peculiarly fitted for the position. being connected
with the University settlement and indorsed by
Good Government, club and recommended by num-
Der OF men whom the speaker cassed as being
some OF the best citizens. Mr. HubSe said that he
understood Mr. Henschel permitting politics 20
mingle with his educational work, and thought MS
succession by Mr. Reynolds would be a good thing.
Mr. Moriarty spoke In Mr.. Henschels behalf. saying
that the latter had lived for twenty years in the
ward where he Is school trustee. He might
not b. an ideal trustee. according 10 all Mr.. Hub
bells requirements but nevertheless was thorough
~ competent for his position.
one OF the other commissioners wished to end
what babe fair to be a Uresome discussion and sug-
gested that the resolution be- laid Mr. Hub
bell said that he could say positively that II such
q course was taken Mr. Reynolds would not again
permit his name to be mentioned as candidate.
Despite this threat the resolution laid over
and MIR. Reynolds withdrawal as a candidate WAS
officially announced.
4 report was submitted by Superintendent Jasper
which showed that on February II last the registry
Of pupils in the grammar and primary schools was
additional available sttings in the schools on that

fare should be increased above what it had be
in past years but there provision against

IE QUEEN WELCOMED
Her Maiesty's Reception at Central
Park
1ayor RAIDER Presents the Fair Sovereign
With the Keys Of
the City

Myriads Of flags were huttering and
banners were streaming in the breeze at
Central park yesterday afternoon at
o'clock. The Queens pavilion. which
was a composite style of architecture
after the tent-like pavilions of the old
Assyrian kings, was made brilliant with
an awning of gay red cloth and the stair
way leading to the throne was carpeted
with the same material. The semi-circle
OF seats which led down to the tribunes
OH the right and left were all filled with
paily dressed women and their more
somberly CARRIED escorts. Across the street
were other tribunes also com fortably filled
with people, and all were on the qui vive
for the arrival of the Queen and her court:
Promptly at the hour named the band
which had escorted the royal menage
from the depot appeared. and Justify
played Hail to the Queen" the militia,
who had also formed part of the menage,
drew up in company front ON the opposite
side of the street. and the beautiful float
bearing the little flower girls arrived in
front OF the grand tribune. One by one,
carefully and gently, they were lifted to
the stairway which they Immediately
proceeded to strew with flowers. After
them the outriders arrived and ranged
themselves beside the militia.
Then came the deliberately adorned car
riage bearing her gracious majesty and
her personal attendants, Mesdames FRANK
RAIDER and Erskine M. Ross.
The Queen was escorted to her place on
the throne by Mr.. ]. Koephi president
of the Merchants association executive
| committee, and Mesdames RAIDER and
Ross also attended her there.
The herald. [microfilm reel] (Los Angeles [Calif.]) 1893-1900, 1895-04-17

was indeed a self-evident fact that La
Fiesta, La Reina and Ell Dia had all ar
rived, and it was the present and not the
future with which we had to deal.
How cleveily it was arranged, how
stunning it all was and how entirely La
Reina realized the anticipations all had
entertained regarding her!
Every inch a queen she looked, and as
the warm sunshine descended upon her
and lit up her dark hair and gorgeous
raiment and glittering jewels. as the golden
key exchanged hands, and was presented
to her with due solemnity, and as she
bowed her head to receive the crown the
excitement reached fever heat. and was
demonstrated in fitting manner.
The maids, too, how charming they
werel how dainty in their modish gowns
of sheer white organdie and their wide
white hats. Never was queen more
queenly-never was court more courteous,
and the ensemble of committeeme. and
the tribunes on either side crowded with
favored guests made the whole seem like
a bit of anything and anywhere but dem
ocratic America and the wild and woolly
southwest.

had coaxed his spirited steed as close as
possible to the platform on which Miss
Wills stood.
In the following graceful words Miss
Wills expressed the wish Of the ladies who
had contributed to the purchase of the
banner, and Mr.. Mey berg accepted for
the committee most gallantly:
1.-THE women of Los Angeles take
pleasure in presenting to the honorable
director general and the Fiesta committee
this flag, as a testimonial of their appre-
citation OF the work of the committee and
an evidence OF sympathy in all that per-
tuns to the welfare and happiness of our
city, for we believe that anything which
brings beauty and innocent pleasur. into
the lives of a people confers upon them a
real benefit.
with this flag accept the congratula-
tions of the women of the city upon the
successful achievement of your well Laid
plans. May each and every Angeleno
enter heartily into the spirit of the
Fiesta. Let even our beautiful Queen
remember that "a careless song with q
little nonsense in it now and then does
not misDecome a monarch
May this banner ever wave over a
united and happy people who Join them
selves to no party that does not carry the
flag and keep step to the music OF the
union. ~
