The carnival of the Golden Gate will not
have as many queens as there were Rich
monds in the field, but there will be two,
nevertheless, and every loyal Californian
viii owe equal allegiance to both, but must
put up coin to elect either. In the first
place, any lady of California will be
eligible to the position of State Queen and
on California's day Her Majesty will rule
For Queen OF San Francisco any lady
whose residence is in this City should be
eligible to swing the scepter-in local
sense. Each queen must be chosen by the
people, and at the election every person,
without regard to age, sex, color nativity,
dazed or sober, may vote once, for 10 cents
ballot. and as often thereafter as a dime
can be produced. The money derived will
be placed in the carnival treasury.
Last evening R. II. Warfeld, president,
and Samuel w. Backus, secretary of the
executive committee, discussed carnival
topics.
The members of the finance committee
Will commence an active canvass of the
business houses, banks, hotels and other
institutions early in the coming week in
order to raise the funds for the necessary
expenses.
1t has been ascertained, from the reports
OF their committees, that New Orleans en-
tertalned during the last carnival some
| thing like 10000 guests and it was esti
mated that each one of these expended
about $50, making total increase of busi-
ness during the week of between 81 600, 900
and $1,000, 900. San Jose entertained about
$4,000 on It's principal day. Los A ngeles
entertained a mum ber exceeding 90, 900.
The features outlined by the committee
on programme on Wednesday afternoon
were even more attractive than any that
have ever been held elsewhere.
! General Warfield expects to announce
on Monday his appointments of the COM
mlttees authorized at the last meeting of
! the executive committee. Some fifteen
committees were suggested, and the task
OF filling them IS one of no mean magni-
tude. Representative men of all classes of
business are being invited to lend their
assistance to make the affair success
The service Of men known to be capable
and specially qualified by experience is
much desired. 1t is not expected that the
best OF men will recommend themselves,
hence General Wartield would be delighted
to receive suggestions from their friends
The name OF the person and the committee
on which he might render the best service
should be sent in writing to the president
of the executive committee.
! The committees to be filed are police
and streets, Music, judges of awards and
| prizes, decoration and illumination of
streets and buildings other than Golden
Gate Park, invitation, athletic sports. re-
ception, public halls and places of meet
ing, badges, carnival colors and regalia,
hotels and accommodations, transporta.
ton, street r. ilway and carriages, literary
exercises concessions, souvenirs and pro-
grammes and pyrotechnics.
The executive committee is prepared to
procure designs of the handsomest floats
! ever used in other places but do not in
/ tend to use any secondhand parapher-
MALTA. The committee is restricted en-
! tirely in its purchases to articles of home
manufacture, and in presenting designs to
/ the public expects to use the labor of San
| Francisco mechanics.
| The committee desires to secure designs
| for stationery, badges and regalia repre-.
senting the carnival colors, and some de-
| sims EN- mblematic of San Francisco Cali
| fornia and the Golden Gate. These de-
| signs are to be used in decorations on the
stationery and IN every style to advertise

Prizes for original designs will be offered

in designing. The committee also desires
hints and suggestions from the public as
