Special to The Herald.
POMONA, March THE spring car
nlval opened yesterday evening under
the most favorable auspices. The wea-
ther was all that could be desired and
every feature of the celebration has
thus far been a success.
Large crowds were in attendance last
night and this afternoon, but 1t re-
malned for the coronation ceremonies
which occurred this evening to deter
mine what multitudes the large en-
closure could accommodate.
At O'Clock the queen and her maids
in regal splendor were escorted to the
stadium by a guard of the Fidelis hive
of Maccabees, to which order Queen
Emma in large measure owes her elec-
tion.
The maids were Mrs. Bert Midgley,
Miss Anna Hathaway, Mrs. r. A.
Dundas and Mrs. j. b. Anderson, who
were the other candidates for queen of
the carnival. A detachment of Com
pany d, under whose auspices the
carnival is held, was also part of the
escort. The queens proclamation was
read as follows:
Queens Proclamation
Hear We; hear ye; all loyal subjects
Of her most gracious majesty Emma L,
and those whom chance and choice
hath brought within her realm, 1t is
my honor to proclaim In her name that
dull care and all his unworthy attend
ants being banlshed from her king
dom. the queen and her retinue do
thereupon make merry.
Whereas the season of festival being
declared whosoever weareth upon his
face a frown shall be guilty of high
trea son and be punished with Danish
ment; and it is her majesty's pleasure
that those who acknowledge her sway
do, for this season. don glad raiment
and as sign of her royal favor. wear
her majestys badge-a smile. Let all
my worthy subjects of toll trade and
finance be of good cheer during this
merry time Of gladness.
Whereas, her majesty, by imperial
decree, doth hereby do honor to the
sons of Jason, who in their quest
founded her kingdom and whose de-
scendants still keep the golden fleece
whereby her realm is glorified, and in
acknowledgement thereof I am hidden
by her to declare this festival open In
their honor and to bid all loyal sub
jects to participate therein.
Given under my hand and seal this
9Th day of March, 1905.
EMMA 1, Regent.
In a brief speech, during which he
struck particularly happy vein,
Mayor Poston turned the city over to
the queen.
Prime Minister w. B. Lyon delivered
his address.
To the Lord Mayor of the Royal City
of Pomona from Her Most Gracious
Majesty, Emma, Greeting:
Whereas, Her Majesty. plying her
most loyal subject, whose hair whit
ems in her service, doth during her
reign, hereby relieve him of his muni-
cipal cares, and in exchange for his
staff of Office bids him carry a motley
stick.
His guards and patrols, whose won
drous activity hath excited her majes-
tvs admiration, she doth for this sea-
son hereby relieve them of their stren-
uous duties, and bids them, contrary
to their natures, be most conspicuous
by their absence.
The city council is hereby dissolved
and poured into her retinue to attend
Folly, fair damsel, whose company as
yet they in their exacting duties know
not.
Whereas, the lord mayor, with ardu-
GUS concentration, having thus far in
his municipal reign so actively and
energetically combatted all existing
evils with his opposition, the queen
hereby DEGREES that he be put upon
pension and retired from actual service
to hold the motley stick as honorary
staff of Office until his TERMS expire
ment relieves him thereof, and on her
return from her royal visit she leaves
her court favorite Folly, as his private
counsellor.
Having thus conferred her royal fa-
vors, she accepts the city's freedom
and permits the lord mayor to kiss
her hand.
The queen and her court then re-
paired to Fraternal Aid hall where the
queens ball occupied the remainder
OF jolly evening.
