Tha Fiesta Decorations
It has been a matter of general re
mark that the royal liveries, carriages,
•tc, as well as the decorations at the
pavilion and at the tribunes, have been
carried out with remarkably good taste.
It appears that Miss Annie Bancroft is
responsible for these, and the happy
combination of the rather inharmonious
Fiesta colors has In each case been the
result of her deft and skillful fingers.
BAILA DE LA" FIESTA
A Royal Sceue~af~nazard's PavTlloa
Last Night
Levely Women in Beautiful Qowns, Brave
,ten In Uniform and a Multitude ol
Spectators at the Ball
Such magnificence, such royal splen
dor. such a wealth of costly beauty as
biased with splendid effulgence at ihe
queen's ball last night has never before
been witnessed in this city. No court
festival of ancient times, no princely
display of Oriental monaxchs or Roman
triumph ever surpassed In real glory
and splendor the gorgeous scene dis
played at the pavilion last night.
The idea of mimic royalty was lost
lor a time in the true spirit of noble
grace shown by her majesty, the queen.
»nd the stalely beauty of her gracious
tourt.
Nor was there wanting an appropriate
though rightly Inferior tone of royalty
In the loyal assemblage of subjects who
graced the occasion with their presence.
Brilliant indeed was the effect of the
royal throne, supporting the beautiful
queen, brilliant the fair court surround- i
ing her. brilliant the assemblage of the j
people who appeared to do homage to
their sovereign, brilliant the whole •
scene of many colors, of courtly gentle- j
men and beautiful women thronging the i
yreat hall from the royal throne to the
galleries. Brilliant weie the decora- j
Hons of the pavilion. Lavish yet taste- i
ful was the effect of the entire build- j
Ing. lined with a ground-work of gold. I
trimmed ln red and finished with green j
palm leaves, thus weaving the three Fl- j
esta colors into a scene of harmonious
beauty beyond the power of pen to de- |
scribe.
The throne occupied a central point on
the stage. lt was the same beautiful i
setting used on the night of the con- |
certs—a crimson canopy lined with gold |
and carpeted Wit* white furs. Above j
lt the whole stage was roofed in with I
gold and studded with Incandescent ru- j
by lights that shone like jewels in one i
grand sheen of glory. The stair ap- :
preach was carpeted with gold and red. i
On either side were potted palms and v [
line of crimson lilies in vases were I
placed along each edge, At bath ex
tremities of the stage stood a graceful ,
palm, and ranged along the front were
alternating vases of poinsetta and lil
ies. The same decorative scheme was
carried out in the main building.
Over all was stretched a w ide canopy
of gold caught up at the center, from
whence hung long streamers of red to
the four corners and at equal distances
along the galleries. Here was the same
grand work of yellow, relieved at many
points with bunches of waving pen
nants and banners, surrounding La
Fiesta shields.
Along the balconies yellow, red and ,
green was the combination, beautifully
wrought with twining ivy and poinsetta
over a base of gold cloth. The main floor
was covered with white t: rpaulln. The
pillars around the entire hall were
wound with brown cloth in fluffy folds. |
and graceful carpets were formed with
date palm branches. At both ends of
the pavilion the national tlag was
draped high over all. Numerous arc
lights suspended from the galleries and
two Immense chandeliers iv the center i
a
threw a blaze of dazzling splendor over
the scene. The effect was superbly
magnificent. It was glorious beyond
description. Each detail combined to
enhance the whole, and the result was
Insurpassably grand.
Mrs. Annie Bancroft, who directed
the decorations, deserves the highest
praise for her most excellent achieve
ment.
ARRIVAL OF THE QI.'EEN
Shortly before it oclock a trumpet
blast announced the approach of her
majesty, the queen, anil hundreds of
her subjects who had already arrived
silenced th** murmur of conversation in
anticipation of ber coming. Soon the
troop of royal lancers Hied into the hall
and took their positions with wide open
ranks, forming an approach to the
throne. Next the maids of honor ap
peared, each on the arm of a courtier,
and took their places in a double line
Just within the ranks of the royal
guards. Then the trumpet sounded
again, the band struck up God Save the
Queen, and the festal sovereign slowly
and with majestic meln walked down
the double aisle by the. side/if. her prime
minister, and followed by her handsome
pages. It was. in truth, a royal sight. If
the queen has appeared beautiful be
fore, she was supremely so last night.
Boyalty spoke from her radiant face,
from every pt.se of her superb figure
and in every movement of her queenly
person.
Never did royal robes grace a more
queenly queen. And never did loyal
subjects do greater homage than did the
assembled host when the royal suite
ascended to the throne. The maids
closed ranks in pairs. Immediately after
the queen, and their seats in the
semi-circle on either side of the throne.
The lancers followed in the same order
and ranged themselves on seats on the
bark of the stage.
Honcovleri's hand and Lowensky's
orchestra were stationed on each side of
the stage, and discoursed music pre
vious to the arrival of the royal party
and for the dance.
Shortly after her majesty, the queen,
had assumed her throne, the maidens
of her court rose each In turn and cour
tesyed with stately grace and In pairs
descended to the main floor with a slow,
gilding step, circled half way round the
hall, until the entire suite of sixteen
formed a ring, courtesyed in unison,
first to their royal mistress, then to each
other, and continued with measured
step to dance the dance of homage be
fore their sovereign's throne. The com
bined grace and beauty of the lovely
maids, the beautiful slow music, the
elegant dresses of different colors, all
together formed one of the most en
trancing pictures it is possible to im
agine. The dance was not exactly a
minuet, but of the same stately move
ment, and was executed with ron
raasmate grace. Found and round the
lovely maidens glided, now alone, some
times closely grouped, and sometimes
far apart In as beautiful a dream of
poetic movement as ever delighted the
eye of any sovereign. Finally the dance
was ended and the maids returned to
their places in the same order in which
they departed.
Both the orchestra and the band
then struck up La Fiesta march, and
Mr. and Mrs. Shirley V. Martin and Mr.
and Mrs. Kzra Stlmson led the grand
march, and the Fiesta ball of '96 was
commenced. Beautiful programme
cards of white with lettering of royal
purple and white satin ribbon were fur
nished to each dancer, of whom there
were about 400. Twenty-four numbers
were on the card, and the mazy whirl
was kept up for several hours.
At 11:30 the dancing ceased to al
low the queen and her court to par
take of a royal feast, which had been
spread in the western wing of the
building. The great room was gorge
ously decorated In the same fashion as
the main pavilion. At the upper end
was the royal table, where her majesty
and her prime minister, accompanied
by their court, each maid escorted by an
officer from the Philadelphia, and the
two guests id' honor. Sir John Francis
and E. F. C. Klokke. sat down to supper.
During the feast, and long after
wards, dancing wns continued with only
short rests between numbers. When at
length the last piece was played and tin
gay party reluctantly departed, every
one breathed a sigh of satisfaction and
murmured with heartfelt words, "Long
live our gracious queen!"
The ball was conducted with great
care and the management should re
ceive the praise which it well deserves
for the splendid manner in which the
affair was brought off. The members
'of the floor committee were: Messrs.
Kzra T. Stimson, It. H. Howell. Will
iam M. Garland. Alfred Solano. Freder
ic B. Henderson. John T. Griffith. Carl
Kurtz. Shirley Vance Martin, Charles

THE QUEEN'S DRESS
An.l the Lovely Appsaranc: of Her "lplda ol
ol Honor
On all occasions since La Keina de la
Fiesta's reign she has appeared ex
tremely lovely, but last night she was
superbly beautiful iv her royal robes of
white satin and gold. The gown is by
far the handsomest that her majesty
has appeared in on any previous occa
sion, and the scene presented as she
viewed her subjects from the throne,
surrounded by the brilliant court, will
linger long in the memory of those pres
ent as an exquisite picture of womanly
beauty and grace. The whole was a
symposium of beauty that words are
inadequate to describe.
The royal robe was of white duchess
j satin, fashioned after the Empress
I Josephine style, the front of the bodice
I was ablaze with jewels, and rising from
the back was a deep collar of gold lace.
I The resplendent court train was of yel
low satin brocaded in gold < hrysanthe
mums, with a broad ba;id of royal er
mine, on the bottom of the skirt, reach
ing entirely around, was heavy gold
trimming in butterfly effects; falling
| over this in front was the jeweled gir
dle, two golden wings spread out from
each shoulder, and completing the
whide magnificent creation was the
jeweled crown. All the queen's gowns
were made in Los Angeles by Miss
Garsten. The pretty maids displayed
their own fancy in attire, and the com
bination of colors produced a charming
effect Bach carried huge clusters of
flowers and were gowned as follows:
Mrs. Jack Jevne. white duchess satin,
with deml-traln. the bodice edged with
pearls, and falling over the shoulders to
the waist was a cape effect of rare old
lace.
Miss MarlXi Nile green silk, with
bretells of lace and large bouffant
sleeves.
Miss Bessie Bryan, white duchess
satin, with cascades of chiffon and lace
that fell over the shoulder and caught
by Rhinestone buckles.
Miss Pattee. blue silk, with bertha
of lace over blue velvet.
Miss Jessie Kimball, white brocaded
satin, finished with chiffon.
Miss Hattle Kimball, yellow satin, the
bodice veiled with chiffon and the de
collotte neck finished with yellow os
trich tips.
Miss Klokke. pink figured organdie
over pink silk, the neck edged with gup
lands of roses.
Miss Cora Goodrich, pink brocaded
satin with bodice of silk chiffon edged
with pink rosebuds.
Miss Innes, white silk, the corsage
trimmed with light blue chiffon and
flowers.
Miss Harriet Smith pink silk bertha
of lace and long black suede gloves.
Mrs. T. B. Gibbon, pink satin and
handsome pearl garniture.

FOR VALUABLE SERVICE
Students ol the Business College Receive
Well-rierited Thanks
Mr. A. Petach, chairman of the float
committee, announces himself through
The Herald's columns as follows:
As chairman of the float committee, I
desire on behalf of the executive board
to extend to the managers and students
of the l.os Angeles Business college our
sincere thanks for .the most excellent
tind efficient aid rendered during Fiesta.
lt is but fair to say thnt the magnifi
cent success of the float parades was
due in a large measure to students of
the Los Angeles Business college, who
manned the floats so acceptably. It was
the desire of the Fiesta management to
raise the standard of everything con
nected with this year's Fiesta. To ob
tain suitable and intelligent persons to
represent the different and numerous
c haracters on the floats would by no
means have been an easy undertaking
had not the college management kindly
offered the services of their students
for this purpose, In New Orleans ami
other cities where these annual cele
brations are of regular occurrence the
very best people vie with each other In ]
taking part in these celebrations, and
to appear on a float is considered an
honor.
The students of the Los Angeles Busi
ness college therefore may congratulate
themselves not only on having rendered
valuable service during Fiesta, but on
having the exclusive honor of appearing
on the floats. The committee also feels
under special obligations to Prof. I. N.
lnskeep for his untiring efforts In their
behalf.

I pressure needs indeed a safety valve.
I How thankful we all are that it comes

Queen Mildred never looked sweeter

] would tempt a saint to sin.
| Forty-five glrls.forty-flve city schools,
| forty-five states in the union. Forty
live is the magic number!
j Pandemonium waH abroad in tlie city
last night, having its center along
I Spring street from Temple to Fourth.
I Children's day- and the scenes at the
j flag raising at Central park thrilled one.
The hour was Instinct with patriotism.
' The police will be glad when Fiesta is
over. The men have been working four
teen and sixteen hours daily during the
I reign of Mildred I.
| The floral parade will traverse many
streets. as stated in another column, so
i that there exists no great reason for
j everyone to congregate at the tribunes.
The Herald arch at night is the big
gest attraction on the streets. The dec
| oratlve features of the structure are
, unique and beautiful—that is, many peo
j pie say so.
Considering last night's big crowds
; and the by the no menns delicate char
i acter of fun indulged in. it Is surprising
I that there was so little disturbance call
! Ing for police Interference.
It is not as generally known as It '
I should be. but there are two entrances j
| for carriages to the tribunes. One is
on Flower street nnd the other is on '

gift to the city of the Immense pole
and Sir John Francis' gift of the flag
combined to make a proposition that all
citizens may well feel proud over.
I.a Heina tie la Fiesta received a tel
egram from Mrs. O. W. Childs, the tlrst
1 testa queoll, yesterday afternoon,
which ran as follows: My congratu
lation* to our lovely queen of I,a Fiesta.
Tin horns, cow belle, whistles. Chinese
musical instruments, tin pans nnd
sleigh bells were all brought Into roc]iii-
Sltion Inst night. Hut where Ibis side of
the Tehachepi did the last mentioned
1 hlngs come from?
The city police In the downtown dis
tricts were a bedeviled set of men last
night. They wore kept on the move
continuously, but nothing serious hap
pened, for the croud, though a trifle ill
mannered, was a good natured one.
Some participants In this afternoon's
floral parade may be inclined to leave
the ranks if they fail to receive n prize.
This would be wrong. While all will
contribute tO the magnificent spec
tacle, all. in the nature of things,
cannot hope to win prizes. This should
not be a reason for forsaking the
ranks. Thousands will wait on the
streets to witness the procession, antl
they should not bo disappointed.
Private parties evidently worked a
private snap upon the public lasl night
at Athletic park. Cleverly worded Ad
vertisements in Ihe press led people,
including tlie newspaper men, to think
that the fireworks display was under
the Fiesta management. Such proved
to be not the ease. Tho exhibit was
mediocre to a degree. The groat crowd
present was thoroughly disgusted.The
roast was all right, but the pirates have
the cash where it will do them the most
good.
There was a w ide distribution on the
streets of a handsome pamphlet Which
bore the title San Francisco's Greeting
to IjOH Angeles, it was issued to foster
the good-feeling existing between tlie
two portions of the state,and topromote
that friendly rivalry which means the
best for California as a Whole, the cen
ter niid north send greeting to the
south, accepting the auspicious occasion
of La Fiesta and its triumphs as tint
most fitting time for congratulations to
Los Angeles, the city that has set the
pace for western progress, public: en
terprise and prosperity.

Vt,, Q.ntlemen—l take much pleasure
in being able to add my mite to the great
mass of testimony in praise of Paine'S
celery compound.
In November last I found myself
much run down by overwork. For sev
eral weeks I had been obliged to work
eighteen hours daiy out of thi' twenty
four, and was iv consequence in a state
of physical antl nervOUS exhaustion. At
tbe suggestion of a friend 1 commenced
Ihe use of Paine's celery compound,
with the result thnt my health has
steadily improved, and I And myself in
far better health than I have known fer
years.
I believe also that it has enabled me
to escape my periodical attack of rheu
matism, as every season since that time
with the advent of the cold, damp
weather, t have suffered severely from
that disease in a chronic form. So (ar
this winter I have escaped without a.
single twinge of my obi enemy. 1
very cheerfully recommend it to any
one in similar need in the full belief that
it will be helpful In every case.
Very sincerely yours,
A. A. BENNETT.
