The San Francisco call., 1896-04-22

lection, would have Leen displeased about
OF course the parade was made up in non
sensical array, but nonsense and laughter
are the soul of this fiesta.
The line of march was from Fifth to
Broadway, to Fourth, to Spring, to Third,
to Broadway, to First, to Spring, along
Spring to Temple block, to Main, to First,
to Spring, to Third, to Main, to Fourth, to
Spring, and all along the route the mask
ers made free with whatever property they
coveted. The Chamber of Commerce was
raided and from that place stuffed griz-
ely bear was taken. Many merchants were
compelled to pay tribute to the fiesta
queen, and the only policeman who dared
to attempt to do his duty was placed in
the big steel cage and carried away. A
typewriter girl. who was really boy in
disguise, was the policeman's fellow pris-
oner, and these were a warning to all
others who might either displease or please
the queen.
The man who hurled the rocks was one
of large body of patriotic defenders, but
the cage was not big enough to contain all
these patriots. and thorough repulse was
satisfactory to the Queen. At the head of
the maskers was the Queens orchestra,
composed of Chinese band. w. R.
Dinmore, o. F. Kinney, Elmer Wachtel,
Michael Hunt and little Roy Bancroft as
mascot, were in Chinese dress of bright
purples, pale blues and soft lavenders,
long queues and hideous masks. The
Queens Lancers mounted. were in bril-
liant yellow, green and red. The CONNER
cial travellers carried vafses and wore
streamers of fiesta colors and long linen

threw confetti obtained from Paris. The
Queens Merry Maskers were in long,
loose garments of red and wife, tall hats
and general clownish air. The crowds
followed in fantastic array-clowns and
priests and monkeys and men, bicyclers in
mask, and men, women and children. 1t
was highly satisfactory Inauguration of
the fiesta, and the success is regarded as
an indication of the glory of the week.
The ceremonial committee was COM
posed of G. S. Walton, Charles F. Sloane,
Frank Thomas, c. L. Wilde and w. R..
Dinmore. Charles F. Sloane was grand
marshal of the day and chairman of the
parade committee.
The streets were thronged at every point
of the city center, and the Los Angeles
people are confident that there will be
more people here this week than have
been seen at any previous fiesta. There is
plenty to amuse the visitors during every
hour in the day, ana suburban business
men complain that the sightseers will
have no time to get away from the parad-
ing and the merriment within the city
limits.

one of the big events of the week. Major
