TO-MORROW'S FLOWER FETE
DEWEY'S DEEDS TO BE COM
MEMCRATED.
A Floral Carnival That Promises to
Rank With Any Held in
California.

Fete ana Flower Carnival that is to
take place tomorrow.
All the main features have of course
been provided for in a general way,
but there are small but important de-
tails that must be attended to in order
to avoid embarrassing delays during
the floral parade. The full program
was published in the Record Union
yesterday, and it is the intention to
have it carried out to- the letter.
Residents of the southeastern portion
of the city and those of Oak Park seem
to be I'M doubt as to whether or not the
floral parade is to be continued to the
Park. The committee announcement
of the line of march leaves the pro-
cession countermarching on N street,
In front of the Capitol This is under
stood to mean that the parade will then
be dispersed, and Oak Park people who
had counted on seeing the parade with
out having to come to the city will
have to change their plans.
The parade will cease when the
countermarch is concluded, and then
there will be a general scramble to get
to Oak Park. The Carnival Queen,
Miss Lottie Petrie, will be escorted to
the park, where her coronation will
take place with very interesting cere-
monies including battle of roses
among her attendants
After that the people will give them
selves up to the enjoyment of the varied
attractions, and the day and evening
will be only too short for those who
try to take in the entire round of
good things provided by the commit
tees.
1t is specially desired that riders of
the wheel, men and women-particular
ly the latter-assemble in large num-
bers at 5 o'clock tomorrow morning at
Thirteenth and ] streets, and make the
bicycle feature one that Admiral Dewey
himself would be proud to gaze on.
The wheelmen should do this much for
the hero of Manila Bay.
Oak Park presents a very lively ap-
pearance these days Nearly a hun
dred ladies We're working yesterday ar
ranging their different booths. Lanterns
and electric lights are to be strung the
whole length of the streets, and with
the many different colored booths, but
mostly of red, white and blue, the park
will take on a truly carnival air
1t is hoped that as many as can will
go out in the morning and stay all day
A good lunch may be obtained at the
pavilion, and the attractions will COM
mence as soon as the floral paraders
arrive and last all day and evening
The committees desire that all resi-
dences along the line of march be dec

the neighboring towns of Newcastle.

Few people (outside of the Native
Sons and Native Daughters on the
