Feast Of Queen Flora.

The nth evening Oh the mower teast was
enjoyed as much as all previous evenings
by our pIeasure-loving people. The hall
was decorated more handsomely than be-
fore, while the number in attendance was
larger than before. Mrs. Francisco Baca
expresses thanks to the ladies who nave
90 faithfully assisted her in every way.
The pretty girls who made up a larger
part OF the audience, made the ice cream
and chocolate stands do a rushing
trade, and we would almost believe
shat the same young ladies' were in
hand with the ladies', for they never looked
p~rettier nor sweeter.
Mrs. Stella Bernard filled the position Of
the charming post mistress n the boys
were go crowded around the post office one
could not pass that way. Juan Clancy
acknowledged that he had fallen a victim
to the charms of a fair one and was hope
lessly In love. Mrs. M. Romero came In

ly to her success.
The concert then closed with another Sc.
lection, which was we'll received, after
which Beto Henriques proved himself quite
an orator by announcing that the concert

sic for the dancing, which continued until

pf the company are adjacent to the city,
connected with the railroad by speclal

hundreds of carloads OF trees are
shipped annually. The nursery GROUNDS
