The Blanchard-F Fitzgerald band were
lending their moral support to this divi-

behind them fully alive to the fact that
they were on show. The now famous
and indispensable troop of caballeros on

riders for the most part might have
been centaurs. and very gay and gor-

green velvet riding suits elaborately
nicked out in gold and silver; wide SOM

the caballeros rode the Indians in full
war paint, every head looking like an
animated feather duster In various
stages Of decay; their faces and bodies
painted until they resembled certain
spirit pictures that were on exhibition a
couple of weeks ago in one Of the local
court rooms, and before which an italian
sunset would pale to a dull, leaden gray.

The Story of That 226 Feet Of
Chinese Dragon

The mercantile bodies of Chinatown
have each year most worthily cooper
ated with the Fiesta committee in maxi
ing the street parade success, and with
the result that the Chinese display has
been one of the most uniquely attractive
and probably the most striking of any
in the parade each year.
This division was led yesterday by
Ralph Dominguez with his aids. Two
Cinnamon attired in flowing robes OF
gorgeous color and acting as gong beat

ornamented shields on staffs, beautiful

structive object lesson. The long array
of intricate machines for the saving of

There is no art or science that is too diff

this Is symbolized by the display of life
and property saving apparatus, and
each machine was wreathed in flowers.

p rscnts many disadvantages. In the

could not be held unless the race be con-
te ted in heats, which would nesessitatc
