LURES THR0NG
TO BASIN
Blossoms to Reach
Peak Of Beauty
BY Sunday

Crowds Of enthusiastic cherry
blossom admirers were flocking
into the city today from all parts
Of the country as the Festival Of
the Cherry Blossoms was tnaugu-
rated officially.
Officials said 1t was too soon
to estimate the extent Of the in
flux, as they expected the crowd
to reach its peak over the week
end, but anticipated that the num-
Der would exceed 100000.
Roads about the basin this
morning was lined with cars from
many States. Weather predictions
for the rest of the week indicate
no rain to keep the more timid
away.
The blossoms will reach their
peak over the weekend. 1t Is an
ticipated that this will be the larg-
est cherry blossom gathering
Washington has ever seen.
The blossoms were a gift to- this
country from Japan over a score
of years ago. Planted in a scenic
background which compliments
their natural beauty, they have be-
come one Of WaShington'S most
famous attractions. Railroads and
buses, taking advantage OF their
attraction, have offered cherry
blossom excursions to washington
for o number of years.

BARGE FUMES
LAY MAN LOW

L. ]. Louistro, 3S, an engineer
Of the National Park Service,
was recovering in Casualty Hos
pital today from gas fumes, by
which he was overcome last night
while testing the boat in which
10-year-old Sakiko Saito, daugh-
ter of the Japanese ambassador,
will ride around the Tidal Basin
tonight as queen of the Cherry
Blossom Festival.
Decorated as a huge swan, the
boat was cruising near the Tidal
Basin boat house on a test run,
when it suddenly sped forward
and crashed into a stone pier.
Other members of the testing
party said Louistro was working
in an engine room, which had
no ventilation, and lost con-
seriousness from the fumes, per.
hitting the boat to get out Of
control.

Dances Explained
The meaning of the cherry bios
som dances was explained this
morning at the conclusion Of
the sunrise ceremonies by Evelyn
Davis, leader of the dance group
participating in the fete.
The feature dance which was
done this morning and which will
be repeated tonight is entitled
THE Legend Of the Cherry Bios
sons" -
The dance describes the search
of the Sun God for a wife. After
a long time he reaches the home
of the God Of the Mountain Of
Fujiyama who has two daughters.
One of the daughters, the Stone
Maiden, is immortal; the other,
and more beautiful one, the Lady
of the Cherry Blossoms, is mortal.
The God of the Mountain presses
the Sun God to take as his wife,
the stone Maiden, but the Sun
God demurs and chooses the more
beautiful one, the Lady of the
Cherry Blossoms. Enraged the
Stone Maiden kills the Lady OF
the Cherry Blossoms.
Impression of Story
And so the Sun God smiles each
Spring as his daughters, the
cherry blossoms, come forth in
their fragile beauty.
Explaining the manner Of the
dance, Miss Davis said:
''YOu understand, the dance
Is done as an impression Of the
japanese story, not as a repro
ductiOn of the way 1t would be
done by japanese actors or
dancers"
