SOCIETY RACES TOMORROW
Considerable Progress Reported Ia Fiesta
Preparations
The Institution Of the Knights Of La Fiesta
to Whom Is Entrusted the Welfare
Of the Celebrations

The society races for the benefit of La
Fiesta, that were postponed last week
on account of the rain, will take place
tomorrow at Agricultural park at 2
o'clock. A number of special attractions
has been added to the extensive pro-
gram, and the track will hold one of the
largest audiences ever seen at a similar
event. Nearly all the boxes for sale at
Observation-Disclosures Music store have
been sold, securing the attendance of
the prominent members of society.
Full details of the different events will
appear In tomorrows' paper.
At the meeting of the committee of
thirty of La Fiesta, held yesterday, the
reports of the different committees were
received, showing that considerable pro-
gress is being made in the several
branches. The floats, sixteen in num-
ber, will be of most elaborate charac-
ter, and the street decorations will be
entirely different from those that have
heretofore been displayed in the princl-
pal thoroughfares.
Fred L. Allies presented the following
resolutions, which were unanimously
adopted:
The adoption of this resolution will in
stitute within La Fiesta association the
order of Knights of La Fiesta.
The executive committee, represent
ing the queen of La Fiesta, is hereby
authorized to annually select three gen.
tlemen, residents OF Southern Califor-
MIA, who shall be created Sir knights by
the reigning queen at such time and
place as may be deemed suitable.
The Sir Knights shall de decorated
with a golden badge of appropriate de-
sign, to be furnished by the committee.
The ceremonies attending the creation
of Sir Knights shall be under the direc-
ton and in charge of the Sir Knights of
La Fiesta, subject always to the ap-
proval of the executive committee.
In selecting candidates for the office
of Sir Knight, the executive committee
will be guided by eminent services to
Los Angeles and Southern California,
either of single act of extraordinary
merit or by continuous service per-
formed for the public good, without hope
of reward other than that of promoting
the general welfare.
The gentlemen created Sir Knights of
La Fiesta by Queen Mildred in the Fiesta
year 1896 are hereby made the charter
members of this order, namely. Sir
knight John F. Francis. Sir Knight W.
c, Patterson and Sir knight T. S. c.
Lowe.
To these gentlemen and to those who
may be hereafter added to their rank

Of La Fiesta de Los Angeles is hereby

some what marvellous anaesthesia Of ar
tistic ability, so to speak, Is accounted
for In an odd fashion. 1t Is claimed
that q skilled milliner-not the every
day kind, but real high-toned one-is
an artistic, and must receive inspiration
for her work by associations that help
and aid in this direction. In other words,
that Nine. Clarion in Berlin, Paris and
New York saw around her constantly
hats and bonnets that were symphonies
of color and design, and as they broke
upon her vision, her artistic sense,
charmed by the beauty, would De IN
spired to create new forms, new arrange
ments and combinations, and thus estab-
lish her reputation as a designer par
excellence.
The inference is unpleasant. To know
that this fair Italy of America is not In
spring to the artistic soul is disappoint-
ing. and doubly so when 1t Is realized
that the bonnets and hats OF the ladies'
of Los Angeles are a season or two be-
hind the times. There is some comfort.
however. in the thought that the con-
tention is not undisputed-indeed.M Mime.
Clarion has made a very fair showing
that she is just as skillful in Los Angeles
as ever she was In Berlin or Paris.
Among other witnesses who testified
in behalf of the plaintiff yesterday was
Mrs. c. Dosch, who keeps a millinery
Is of rather a striking appearance by
reason of her white hair that, while by
no means in her case being mark OF
advanced age. softens the outlines OF
her face and gives an added charm. This
witness went along swimmingly until
taken in hand by Attorney Lowenthal
for the purpose of cross-examination
The first one or two questions were an
swered all right. but when counsel
pressed the witness to state just how
much of the store her establishment &C.
cupied she became restive.
"I don't know that 1t matters much to
you, but occupy two-thirds of the store
if you want to know. You can go and
hold a tape measure, II you want to be
exact" she remarked. in answer to
question.
''will you allow me to do that?" smil-
ingly inquired the attorney.
"Yes, sir. I have always occupied
store with a first-class Jeweler. He has
one-third and I have two-thirds. It's
lust large enough for me to do first
class business
One or two insinuating reflections
were made against the defense by the
witness, and then she fiounced off the
witness stand, but did not escape from
court before answering one or two in
terrogatories put by the plaintiff her

the defense.
"And you've had them for long?'

AN ART QUESTION
Whether Millinery Artistic Can Get Inspira.
tion In Los Angeles

1t is often alleged that, so far as la
dies attire is concerned, men are most
irritating CRITTERS" The adaptability
of lady's taste to the fashion of the
hour, while puzzle to the ordinary man.
is the most ordinarily proper thing and
perfectly understood by the average
member of the fair sex
And so. to properly appreciate this
question of fashion, jury of the fair
sex ought to be sitting to hear the case
of Nine. Clarion against Lud Zobel, rath-
er than a sober parsonage like judge
York, who, supposedly, is uplifted far
above the pomps and vanties of the
world.
The suit is on appeal from Justice
Morrison's court and is only to recover
$780, that being the limit triable in the
lower court but if Judge York should
give judgment for the plaintiff, then, in
all probability, another suit for mucn
larger amount would follow.
The case is a curious one in several
respects. Nine. Clarion, by her record
as a designer of hats and bonnets pre-
vious to coming to Los Angeles, ought.
through her creations, to be a constant
source of delight to the ladies of the city.
While in Berlin she was with the ultra
fashionable millinery house of Petrus.
WHOSt pace Oh CHter uen Linden is
constant delight to travelling American
ladies. 1t is not, however, so much of
delight to their husbands and fathers.
for Petrus is miliner to the empress of
Germany, and his hats come high. but
American ladies must have them While
there Nine. Clarion was awarded a gold
medal and diploma for her exhibit at the
Berlin fair in 1880. Later she was with
Nine. Julien, the equally swell miliner
of Paris, and so, when she come from
New York to Los Angeles, she was
weighted with honors won in the very
heart of fashions stronghold.
And right there the funny part of the
case comes in. Mr. Zobel testified that
Mime. Clarion made several hats for him
in New York to show her ability, and
they were first class. In Los Angeles
her skill deserted her, and, according to
him, much of her work was so Indifferent
that 1t had to be taken to pieces. This
