SANTA ANA, Oct. ga week OF fes-
tivity for Santa Ana and Orange coun-
ty that was participated in by thou
sands OF visitors from all parts of the
state closed tonight with Mardi Gras
frolicking. The streets, gay with car
nival decorations and flags and vari-
colored lights, we're crowded with a
rollicking carnival throng bent on cele-
brating the close of the l. o. o. Il.
Grand encampment and Carnival week
In a burst of merriment. Confetti
throwing, fantasies in costuming, jest
and innocent revelry kept up the sport
and jollity until the midnight hour end
ed the day and the carnival.
The Mardi Gras sports were preceded
by a most successful day, Of which the
famous floral parade was the crowning
feature. AS the products parade on
the first day of Orange county's Car
nival of Products told of fruitful fields,
orchards and groves, so the floral
parade told of the culture and aspira-
tions of the people of this rich county.
Prominent among the floats were
those significantly complimentary to
the 1. o. o. F. Grand encampment,
held here this week. These were beau
tiful creations, the 1. o. o. f. float be-
ing a remarkable statuary representa-
ton, a man posing with extended arm
and hand that held aloft the three
links of Odd Fellowship. Torosa and
Sycamore Rebekah lodges each had
splendid floats. The Elks and Modern
Woodmen were other fraternal orders
successfully represented with artistic
floats. Schools and clubs were con-
spicuouS with handsome floats, while
there were dozens of flower and vine
bedecked carriages and autos compet-
ing for prizes.
QUEEN REVIEWS PARADE
A line of equestrians, including both
men and women riders, added to the
picturesquesness of the spectacle, while
the city and county organizations rid
ing in automobiles lent dignity to the
parade.
Receiving tumultuous applause all
along the densely crowded streets,
Queen Emeline l, the beautiful mon
arch who, with gracious dignity, pre-
sided over the three days joyous car
niyal, was the real lode star of ad-
miration as she smiled on her subjects
from her gilded chariot drawn by four
spirited black horses. Her court ladies',
riding in a tallyho decorated with soft
pampas plumes, were second only to
the queen in the hearts of the carnival
crowds. The queen and her court re-
marched.
The Carnival of Products of 1910 has
been highly successful IN attendance,
in exhibits and in sports. The products
of the county. ranging from the humble
bean to the gold-producing sugar beet,
crisp celery to the products of the San
tfago coal mines, have impressed every
sightseer, and the poultry show has
been equal to that seen at the state
fair.
The auto races have been of merit,
and the lighter features, such as the
midway attractions, the balloon flights
and the numberless bits of exposition
gayeties. have been pleasing to the
crowds. Thousands have poured in
from the country about and sister
cities of Southern California. Taken
all in all, the 1910 Carnival Of Products
of Orange county has been an unquali-
fed success.
