PANORAMIC VIEW OF THE NEW SAN FRANCISCO.

The night spectacle OF the festival
promises to surpass all other attempts
In that line. The topography of the
city, the formations of the bay and it's
picturesque contour lend TO any plan
of magniiicence undertaken by man.
More money will be expended on the
night spectacle than on any other for
this reason.
y striking feature of the Portola fes-
tival will consist of n color scheme to
be observed by the citizens. Every
man, woman and child OF the rebuilt
city win wear decoration of red and
yellow.-carnival colors--in order that
they may be identified with the affair
and thus invite visitors to apply to
them for any Information concerning
the festival or the history of the city
In order to perfect this plan school
of instruction was opened by the city
for It's inhabitants wherein they learn
ed the story of the discovery by the
first Spanish governor of California
and the losses entailed by the last
earthquake and the rebuilding of tho
city

as far as possible there shall be some
reproduction of the customs and habits
OF the carly settlers. The dress of

women of San Francisco will con-
tribute as much as possible to n re-
production of the Spanish atmosphere.

other touch of Spanish days that will

scheme will make the theater particu-

In order that foreigners who are not
able 10 be present during the festival
