tions all the way down the arena, and
before the throne lined up and saluted in
excellent form, being app,auded vocifer-
ously.
Almost equally impressive was the con-
tingent of the National Guard following.
They were: Battalion Seventh Regiment,
National Guards, Major d. r. Weller COM
manding; Captain n. S. Baugham. acting
adjutant; A. NJ. Austin, first lieutenant
and commissary; E. II. Hutchinson, hrst
lieutenant and auartermaster; Company

Company A, Captain Robert Wankowsky
commanding; Company G, captain >. b.

Pasadena, First Lieutenant w. l.. Llppin-
cott commanding.
The second division advanced to the
strain. of Roncovierps Fiesta march. The
marshal, Colonel N. NJ. Ogden, led the
way, followed by his spiendidly mounted
aids-Licutenant A. NJ. Austin (chief of
staff, Frank Harmon, Fred c.. Gottschalk,
Rees Llewellyn, L. Loeb. Sherman Pease,
Louis Brown and J. Baum. The Los An
geles military band kept these loval sub
iects in perfect step and time as they
marched past the royal pavilion.
The Fremont Signal Corps camenext
their appearance reassuring the people
with regard 10 the weather during the
week.
The second division held up the honor
of two foreign powe-s-Francs and Italy.
The Legion franchise was commanded by
Captain Biliaude, and numbered about
sixty men, the tricolor floating in the
breeze along with the stars and stripes.
The Garibaldi Guards followed, their
salute to the Queen being Acknowledged
gracefully.
The High School Cadets brought up the
rear of this division. The company, of
more than fifty boys in excellent military
discipline, wore 8 natty uniform of pure
white which showed finely against the
dark uniforms around them.
The third division was composed en-
tlrely of horsemen. c. A. Sumner was
marshal, and his aids were: C. Apablasa.
ii. K. Crawford, Otto Zahn, n. w.
Queiroie, f. Grant and c. A. Sumner.
The Riverside band was followed by over
eighty members of the Royal Foresters
e1cellently mounted and arrayed in span
new and bright uniforms.
A mounted troop of young men from
the Los Angeles Military Academy, TO the
mum Der of twenty-five, were next in line.
The boys wore gray coats and white pau
falcons, and sat in the saddle like
veterans. They gave abundant evidence
OF having had liberal training in cavalry
tactics. A battalion of boys on Shetland
ponies brought up the rear OF the third
division, and the end was quite as inter
esting as the head. The ponies and their
youthful riders presented a charming pic
ture. The boys were in uniform ana had
complete control of their animals. They
executed a very clever salute as they
passed the throne.
A very pretty feature of this division
was little Anna kessler, mounted upon a
trick pony, and her still smaller sister
mounted on still smaller Shetland pony.
The horses were driven tandem, the
smaller in front, with Miss Anna standing
upright upon her saddle. AS the pair
stopped in front of the throne the smaller
child saluted gracefully from her seat.
Then they moved few steps forward and
the older girl lesped to the ground and
made low curtsey. Turning, the horse
dropped bis head, the child stepped upon
it, took hold of the mane, and the horse,
lifting its head, dropped the girl into her
saddle, to the wild plaudits of the people.
And now the caballerosl They were in
the fourth division, or, rather. the big
end of it. But the caballeros were not the
caballeros of the past two years. The
humane society has interfered with the
comparatively tame. 1t appears that the
prancing OF his stced vas the result of
pull upon q bit that has been discovered
to be cruel and is therefore forbidden.
The caDalleros were sixty strong. They
wore costumes that we're distinctly Mex
can. The material was OF green corduroy,
with yellow satln trim ming, silver braid
and abundantly decorated with spangles.
The som breros, with tall crowns and ]
broad rims were in harmony as to style.
The aids wore black velvet with gold
tri mings- Saddles, bridles spurs and
other equipments were in keeping with
the style affected. They presented a
handsome and dashing appearance, II not
quite so dashing as heretofore.
