Troop d, the new unattached cavalry
company OF Los Angeles, made its first ap-
pearance in a public procession. The
troop escorted the queen to the reviewing
stand and then took its place in the line of
march. 1t is composed of excellent horse
men and the exhibition cavalry drills were
excellent.
Uniformed civic organizations followed
the militia. Major H. NJ. Russell was mar
shal of this division and he was aided by
Captain A. C. Jones, Captain FaIkenberg,
L. Z. Russell and S. X. Mezenhuber. The
San Diego band furnished music for the
mounted Foresters, who turned out fifty
strong. Next marched the High School
cadets. in dark blue sailor suits. The Uni
formed Rank, knights of Pythias, COM
pleted the division with $50 mem bers.
The third division was typical OF old
California. A troop OF caballeros, dressed
in the old Spanish costumes, was made UP
OF dashing riders. Among these horsemen
was girl of apparently II or IA years, be-
decked with flowers. She stood upon her
saddle, lightly and with evident ease. Be
fore the queen she stopped her horse. The
next instant she jun ped to the ground as
gracefully as bird might have made the
flight. Still holding the bride, she
calmly, deliberately saluted the queen.
Then she turned to the horse, which was
much taller than she. Her intention was,

shoulders of her obedient steed. The next
moment she was standing on the saddle
and away she went with the caballeros.
Accustomed as California is to pretty feats
in horsemanship. this girl won the high

the saddle.
dashing and daring lot of riders were
the cowboys, among whom were few
mounted Indians. A cowboy stopped be-
fore the queen and caused his horse to lie
down. The man stood and bowed, and
when he returned to the saddle the horse
arose with him and went tearing down the
roadway. The Santa Barbara band was
with the horsemen. Ignacio Francisco de
la Cruz Garcia rode in a carriage, and a
placard announced that he was 115 years
old. The Pueblo Indians from New
Mexico were led by Charles F Lummis.
At the head of the division made up of
the horsemen and Indians was Marshal
