The executive committee of the Fabiola
fete completed their programme this
morning, and a floral fete, decorated pa
rade and interesting bicycle races are as
sured that will eclipse the tiestas recently
held in the southern part of the State.
There are over eighty entries in the
wheel races, and the large number neces-
states the running off of the trial heats
early in the day. They will therefore be
commenced at 1880 o'clock and it is ex-
pected they will be completed by noon.
A fine band will be present at the park,
and the bicycle race viii evidently be one
of the features of the day.
At noon there will be a recess for lunch,
and at 1880 the great donkey race will be
run. Walter Hackett has full charge of
the burro race, and on Thursday afternoon
he will go to Marin County and bring over
twelve burros that would not break away
from each other if prodded with red-hot
irons. Walter is charged with the job of
making the pace and he has the entries in
his pocket-book, and he has promised not
to make them public till they are weighed
in.
At P. NJ. the floral parade will COM
menee. There are several entries since
the last published list, and it is now GER
tain that the pageant will greatly eclipse
that of last year.
A very desira bic arrangement has been
made in regard to the decorated wheel
parade. When the wheelmen succeed the
carriages they meet with great incon-
venience on account OF the frequent stop
pages, and are unable to show off to the
best advantage. On Mayday the decorated
wheel parade will commence at 3 clock,
and some of the most unique designs in
decorated wheels will De seen. There will
canopies built on wheels and arches of
flowers and platforms built on wheels, on
which will be floats, and some of the wheel
men have promised to do something that
as yet exists only in their brains.
The Burlingame steeplechase will be run
oil at $3.50. Eleven trained ponies have
been brought to the track and some OF the
best-known members Will enter the COM
petition. There will be half dozen
hurdles to Jump and the crack riders of
the club will show how it is done at the
country club The memb bers of the club
viii come over with their tally-ho coaches
and prepare for the race in the Jockeys
quarters.
The finals of the bicycle races will be run
off at 4 O'Clock and the National circuit
will be opened.
Very elaborate preparations have been
made to arouse enthusiasm for the fete
On Wednesday a band will go out with
the decorated car and cover Berkeley, Ala
media and Elmhurst and at midday reach
Haywards. 1t will give concerts en- route
and representative of the fete will be on
hand to sell tickets. 1t will then go
around the City. In the evening there
will be the lantern parade of decorated
wheels.
All day Thursday the decorated car and
band will tour the City and give concerts.
The Exempt Firemen will land at the
foot OF Broadway pier, San Francisco, at
