The multi- tude greeted this happy result of a merry ion with a wild chee d the non gave notice that the mili- tary stood in. The fiesta is all right. It has kept faith with the handbills. To be sure the local yers have said a few mean things about 1e revolutionary proceedings at Hazard’s Pavilion last night, which were not alto- gether undeserved. They promised if the visitors would do a little quick forgetting in that matter no further extenuations would be asked and to-day the pledge has been‘redeemed. A magnificent queen has been set in splendid style to preside over the City of Angels for a brief period, in which all her subjects are required to have | as much fun as they can. | The ceremony took place at Central Park, beginning at 2 o’clock, and the end | of the pageant of the Pacific had not; paseed the Queen’s throne until nearly 51 ck. All the morning hours were filled with the liveliest kind of hustling to get | ready, and tbat famous finishing touch was not delivered until the last minute. At sunrise this morning there was the | throne yet to be built and, artistic and | elaborate as it is, the work was done in titme. The throne stands high above the | ground on the park side of High street and midway in the square. It is reachea by n inclined walk extending half the | way up where steps begin and lead to it. | The approach and steps were laid with | crimson cloth and the throne itself covered W 1 robes of her Majesty’s colors. TFhe back of the throne is high and square and ‘of the most approved patterns in thrones. A wine-colored silk canopy with gilded supports and gold tassels, ample in | dimensions, spreads protectingly over it, | jnsomuch that the sun after all had but a | very poor view. On each stde of the ap-| proach to the throne were the reserved geats for invited guests, some of the fiesta managers and the press. On the opposite side of the street, facing the park and the | throne, stretch away the tribune where sit | thie populace, those being most favored who secured seats so near the throne, so to | speak. se tribunes extend all argund | the park, which comprises one big square, | but only those on the Hill-street side have | this view of the Queen and her court. The others must be contented with the pro-| cession in her honor and thewiew of the park itself, which is beautifully dressed in the Queen’s colors. The Queen some time ago relinquished all idea of riding in her car in the proces- | sion, but ordered a_special guard of honor | $0 accompany her in her tour of inspection | and greeting to her people, All along the route every point of vantage to witness the display was made the most of. The man | who had a front yard twenty-five feet @across built it up with benches on large | ‘poles, and sold privileges thereon at from £5-cents to $1 per privilege. Windnws‘ looking into the street where the display | was advertised to pass set a value on it | gtraight away. Campstools were sold to &it along the curbs and doorways, and the steps of public buildings that might be oc- cupied were appropriated so early that those who did not take their lunch with them will probably look upon this as one the longest days ever fixed in a calendar. All the morning hours were filled with bustle and hurly burly, the clatter of horses’ hoofs, thej sharp sound of busy bammers, the jostling of the good-natured and sun-burned crowds on the streets, and the surprising scream of the small tin Wwhistle that has spread itself from end to | end of the city like the sudden visitation of a plague of locusts coming from nobody knows where. The arrival of the big train of the Half- million Club was the special event of the | early morning. A procession of citizens in carriages trimmed with the everlasting orange, wine and olive was there to meet and entertain them with a brass band and a drive through the city. They made it short and brought up at the Chamber of Commerce at Fourth and Broadway, where there was a little informal greeting and a request from the Jonathan Club to come and see them and feel at home, and there the august Half-million Club, as such, got lost in the crowd. They went their several hundred ways as groups and individuals. This was the experience, too, ot the State Press Association, for to get lost in the crowd was the easiest thing possible to- day, and with this crowd moving through the highways, a characteristic holiday crowd in gay clothes, sun umbrellas and gtraw hats, the man of family with all of them about him, peanuts and popcorn everywhere, the cry of the cool lemonade | cession percolating through it in piecemeal | nounced her coming. The Queen thus | | proach with their arms full of flowers. and Rejoicing Among| with no particular aim in view, or deten- tion either, just as many people going one | way to find some vantage ground as are | ng the same in the other; gay cava- hing back and forth where the rowd is thickest, the drum-major strut- | along where the sun shines brightest | n the dazzling red and gilt of his uniform, giitiering floats lumbering slowly toward the rendezvous, while the gaudy advertising wagon rolls blithely here and there, overestimating its importance and anxious only to be seen; the ubiquitous “bike threading its swift way through the mazes of horse and man, the loaded street- | car now losing time against the im- pacted throng in front and now being | rushed to make it up, the brawling of | bands that have not yet found anythingjto | lead but which, more than any. other of | all these, are the signs of the thingsto be | cted and cheer the crowds into patient | this is the great demonstration | haotie state before order has been | evolved. | It was shortly after 1o’clock that the thunder of cannon told the people of the city that the Queen had come from some unannounced region or country, but in a uthern Pacific Pullman. She had come with her ladies in waiting and ‘her maids of honor, more than a score of them, and a battalion of little white fairies and a page in wine, orange and olive. All the maids of honor and ladies in waiting were dressed in spotless white with graceful white hats all laden with flowers. She came in regal robes equipped for her throne in the won- derful dress of gold and purple with the marvelous Elizabethan collar and the gir- dle and pendants flashing with jewels scarcely less brilliant than the crown, and the crown was already placed for she has been Queen these many years, but is only now entering into her possession. The crown, a wonder that told of the power and | riches of this Queen, shot back the sun’s light with something of defiance if such a thing may be said of such a merry people. | There had been waiting at] the Arcade station for some time a legion of the| Queen’s most gallant knights, the Gentle- | man’s Riding Club. They were mounted : upon brave steeds, wearing saddle blankets of pure white canvas, bound with the colors of the fiesta and spangled with its | stars. Their bridles were of white also and trimmed with the tri-colored ribbons. The knights were arrayed in dashing style themselves, with their big Mexican som- breros. fawn-colored corduroy 'trousers, | black coat, biack leather leggins and fawn- | colored gauntlets. There was a company also of the Queen’s soldiers, late the National Guards, who in new blue uni- forms, with fiesta decorations, were a good supplement to the other riders. Carriages were drawn up in waiting, and from the car the Queen was conducted to the royal equipage, while the cannon at the park told the news to the city and a fanfare was blown by the royal buglers. The Queen’s carriage took the center of the procession, the carriages of -her maids of honor going | before and foliowing behind. | With her Majesty sat her two ladies in waiting. In advance of the carriages rolled a float where rode the fairy flower- girls, half buried in blossoms that over- | flowed and fell in vining clusters over the wheels and the horses. The knights being bidden, rode on, and | the Queen’s triunrphal march began, with | the dashing riders in advance clearing the | way, while a bugler rode forward and an- rode through all the town, receiving the | glad acclamations of her people with a smile of pleasure. - With the slow dignity of royalty they moved over the entire | route planned ‘for the great parade, ar-| riving at last at Central Park, from where | the other procession was to begin, and passed wholly around it, giving the throng already assembled in the grounds the op- portunity to applaud her Majesty. Arriv- ing at the great throne, they stopped. The flower-girls ‘were already ontof the float and were ranged on each side of the ap- President Koepfle was waiting, and as her equipage stopped he assisted the Queen to alight and led the way up tothe throne itself, the flower-girls throwing their flowers before her, the ladies in wait- ing and maids of honor following. It was a royal procession indeed, the shimmer of the golden dress, the dazzling sparkle of the jewelsas again they caught the sun, the perfume of flowers, fragrance of roses in the air and the fluttering cloud of white following after. The Queen took her seat upon the throne and bowed graciously as the multitude ap- plauded. The maids of honor and ladies in waiting took seats provided for them on the steps below, ranging down to the last, and between them gathered the flower- girls, and a rare picture was complete. All was ready for the grand review. Another carriage drove up and Mayor Roeder stepped from it to the wine-colored ap- proach to the throne and made a low. obei- sance. He carried an open packet, upon which lay the silver key of the city. He approached and in a few words formally presented it to the Queen. There was an- other thunder of cannon and the deposed Mayor took his seat with the honored guests in a reservation left to the Queen. He had already asscmbled a great number of people wearing honored names in the workaday world, such as the Judges of the Supreme Court of the State, Judges of the United States courts of the State, Judees of the District Courts, United State Sen- ator Bate of Tennessee and a great num- ber of others. The silver key was laid at her feet and the signal was given that the Queen was waitin PAGEANT OF THE PACIFIC. Never Has a More Gorgeous Spectacle as Bepn.engad by the Floats Been Seen. LOS ANGELES, CAvn, April 16.—The parade had already formed and stood ready to turninto the park from Seventh street and Broadway. It made the circle Max Meyberg, led it all with only the con- ventional platoon of police preceding. The Gentleman’s Riding Club had now become his escort, as it had ‘been of the Queen. With him was his chief of staff, a battalion in number, and their couriers, the commander of the first division, J. K. Kennedy, and his aids, with here and there a band introduced, the succession of floats which gives the great demonstration of to-day the name by which it will always | be known, the .pageant of the Pacific, There were nineteen of the floats, designed by a committee that had a definite plan in view—the illustration of the early Spanish history of the Pacific and “of South America. Twelve of the floats were devoted to the Spanish pioneers, native tribes with whom they came in contact, others to the tribes of Oceanica, Robinson Crusoe and the Aleutians, while others were descriptive of the American civilization of the Pacific. The ideas of the committee were carried out by Fawcett Robinson of Chicago, an artist, painter and sculptor, who has done things at Drury-lane Theater, London; at the Port St. Martin Theater, Paris; at Melbourne, Sydney, New York; with Kiralfy Bros., Henderson of Chicago, Au- gustus Harris, the ceremonial committee of the World’s Fair, Kansas City and else- where. That they had been under capable hands in their preparation, the gorgeous, ated to permitof no division of attention or interest by the spectators, and allow- ing their artistic merit to be properly measured. The fourth float represented the next scene in the story of Atahualpa. The Inca had offered Pizarro gold enough to fill his prison if he be given freedom, planning all the while to overthrow his captors. The float represents the natives bearing their golden vessels into the room, which is already half filled and con- tains the Inca’s golden chair. Float No. 5 shifts the scene from South America to Mexico and represents Monte- zuma; the great warchief of the Aztecs, surrounded as he is represented to have been at the City of Mexico, by all his bar- baric pomp and magnificence. No. 6 is entitled, “The Aztec Sac- rifice,” representing the terrible slaughter, which, before the coming of the Christians, characterized the heathen method of ap- peasing the gods, all conducted by their bloody priests. In the figure-piece the priestis seenin his official robes on the summit of the Teocalli, with the unhappy victim before him, while oth ers bow before the priest. No. 7 represented a bit from the seige of the City of Mexico, representing the high walls of the city, over which the Aztecs with their weapons appear. No. 8 was a very fair represvatation of the house of the Pueblo Irzian cliff- | dwellers. A band of Pueblo [niians, the | real article, had been imported isr the oc- | casion, and men and women, in their | native blankets, carrying samples of their | excellent crockery on their heads and been passing for some time. The “Grand Aleut”” was seen sitting on top of his own icy home surrounded by ice caves and bergs so faithfully done as to quite per- ceptibly cool the atmosphere, which had grown very warm. . Robinson Crusoe, hackneyed subject that it is, was presented next in a very attractive picture, the thatched-roof house, Robinson, Friday and the parrot all being set amid the richly colored verdure of the tropies. Some red-shirted miners led the next float, which brought the story back to California again and gave a very correct representation of a modern camp, with a stamp-mill hard at work. Next came a counterfeit of Sutter’s old mill, with some more red-shirted miners. The last of the series which have com- prised two divisions of the procession is the car of the angels designed for the queen herself. It was certainly a regal affair, well fit for the queen of the angels festival, but she had other plans. A sub- stitute was sought among the Angel City’s most beautiful young women and one was found. She sat high up under a spreading shell-shaped canopy of blue and around her was a group of other angels scarcely less beautiful. ¥ The front and rear of the great royal car was elaborately embellished with rococo and renaissance ornamentation in bur- nished gold, the whole producing an effect of pale blue, gold and silver, designed to link heaven and earth in the spectators’ fancy. This closed the series of specially de- signed allegorical floats and the second THE QUEEN OF THE FIESTA IN LOS ANGELES LEAVING THE ARCADE STATION. [The “Call” presents this morning for the first time i the Mstory of journalism a successful reproduction by telegraph of a picture taken hundreds of miles auay. Itrepresents the departure of the Queen of the Fiesta from the Arcade Station. The process of the illustration is explained in another column.] picturesque; suggestive and yet historically faithful représentations gave evidence. The series‘of ‘floats ‘wére-led by that of the gilded man, “El Hombre Dorado,” which is spoken of as the:A'merican golden fleece. It represented an old TIndian cus- tom of South ‘America,’in' which a chief, powdered with gold, at a certain day every year spraug into a lake, the gold being washed off, settled to the bottom as an of- fering to the gods. The custom became linked with myth and fiction, was respon- sible for wild stories of golden men and cities, to find which exploring parties searched and explored the continent. The birth of the Lnca of Peru was repre- sented in the second float, showing an Inca palace of cyclopean architecture, with the head Inca, in the presence of a napooses on their backs, straggled along in careless, yet dignified Indian fashion be- | hind theclift dwelling, and provoked con- | stant applause. |- Float No. 9 was of the same order, repre. | senting the Zuni cliff-built city of:Toyal-, | 1ahnah. : | Float 10 represented the huts, .with some native samples of the Colorado River | Indiatis. ’ The founding of a mission came 'next in historical sequence to the conquest by the | Spaniard. It represented the conquest by | peaceful means of what had hitherto been | attempted only with the sword. A bit of old mission architecture, with the gray- | clad priest and a group of his swarthy dis- ciples, made the next picture. | Then came a picture of old Spanish life A 'SAMPLE OF DECORATION IN LOS ANGELES. Coya. a virgin of the sun, dedicating the new born babe to the service of the sun and the people, who are interested specta- tors of the royal ceremonial. The rich costumes of the Inca, of the Coya and the other participants are represented as his- torically correct. The third float was also taken from the annals of the Spanish conquistadores— the capture of Atahualpa, Chief Inca of the Peruyians—the feat that saved Pizarro and his followers from destruction and at the same time gave them the conguest of the country. The group on the float rep- resented the scene in the square at Caxa. marca at the moment of the capture when the fate of the little company of Spaniards depended upon the success of the stroke. The floats were all drawn by four horses, covered in white canvas with only an opening for the eyes, and led by men cos- of the square and was in good marching order before passing in review before the tumed to fit the spirit of the representa- tion itself. e always within hearing, the great pro- | Queen.

The float could not fail to awaken the enthu- siasm of the throng, and was applauded all along the line. The entry of the Americans upon the scene was represented by a very prosaic *Prairi Schooner.” ! Now a jump was made to the islands of the far Pacific, and Hawaii was repre- sented with the throne of Liliuokalani, with the ex-Queen sitting on it, surrounded by some of her maids os honor. The setting was done in very effective colors, the ver- dureand flowers being distinctly Hawaiian. The float was entitled Kamehameha I on his throne, but the idea was improved upon, for a very pretty dark-skinned young woman sat there, and Kamehameha was, according to Captain Cook, a men. The “Grand Aleut” formed the subject 1 of a very beautiful float and added variety to the series of tropical pictures that had \ division, which was under command of Captain Hutton. =In the third division, under command of Marshal C. W. Hicks, were grouped a number of floats designed by representa- tive business houses and business inter- ests, ag was the beautiful float of the Los Angeles Chamber of Commerce. This latter was a little Grecian classic in white, white pillars supporting a white roof with a group of Grecian-robed maijdens gath- ered there among the oranges and fruic and flowers of this Southern country. It provoked enthusiastic applause not only from her loyal citizens, but the admiring visitors. Among the floats of the business hounses there were many of elaborate and artistic design, serving well to tell the story for which they were designed. The San Fran- cisco Examiner’s float, which was a loco- motive in shining gilt with wheels in color and upon which were the magic letters of the “S. F. and 8. J. R.R.,” provoked much enthusiasm. The Los Angeles Times also had a very attractive float in the line. The lumber dealers were represented by a ship loading with lumber, the ship being manned and the work done by small boys. The real estate dealers had a house on wheels, made sufficiently attractive to in- vite immigration. The commercial travelers were out in force. They were out in tally-hos and landaus and an infinite variety of vehicles. They were the first in the line to noisily salute the queen, every wagon-load of them lifting up their hats and voices as they passed before her. Following the travelers came their bag- gage wagons loaded with trunks bearing strange labels, such as ‘“Where did you get on?” ‘‘How is your expense account?’” ‘‘Have you an excess of baggage?”’ and the like. These are questions of peculiar in- terest to the commercial tourist. Samples of “Arizona traveling in 1880" were pre- sented in the burro, loaded heavily. The travelers were marshaled by H. H. May- berry. The fifth division, marshaled by Perry Howard, was led by & company of forty Independent Order of Foresters, but it would take too long to more than name the features of a procession that extended through three hours. The fifth division was composed, besides those mentioned, as follows: R.W. Prid- ham, float; Meeks’ bakery, float; F. W. Braun & Co., float; Owl Drug Company, float; Domestic and Wheeler & Wilson, float; W. K. Cowan, sixteen Rambler bicycles; J. D. Steele & Son, float; Los Angeles Sewing-machine Company, float and two wagons; A. Behymer, float; Mil- ier & McGrath, float; Red Rice Furniture Company, float; R. Burns, float.

A. Sumner. Shetland ponies fifty strong; display of race and other horses. The Spanish caballeros, sixty strong, in the sixth division, was the sensation of the line. They were dressed in the old Span- ish costume, and every man was mounted on a high-bred, restive horse that danced on its hind legs or tried to kick the head of his neighbor with scarcely any provocation while guns kept booming in the park and the band in front and rear was playing. But the men kept their seats as though on dress parade. Professor Lowe’s float was a miniature representation of the famous incline rail- way that pierces the clouds on Mount Lowe. The representation was perfect, and from the foot of the incline at Rubio Canyon to the chalet on Echo Mountain no detail was forgotten. The procession moved through Spring, Main and all the principal streets. All Southern California was called upon to furnish music for the demonstration, bands being brought from San Diego, Santa Ana, Orange, Chico, Santa Barbara, Pasadena, Fullerton, Compton, San Fernando, Long Branch, Ontario and from Catalina Island. |HER MAJESTY DEPARTS. Signifying the Pleasure at the Honors Shown by Her Subjects, She Receives Cheers. LOS ANGELES, Car., April 16.—When the last straggler in the line had gone by the Queen signified her great pleasure at the showing made in her honor and sum- moned her royal carriages. Preceded by her page bearing the silver key, and accompanied by her ladies in waiting, she was driven away amid the re- newed cheers of the populace. Her maids of honor followed in their carriages, and as the sun went down the great concourse of people rapidly disintegrated. It should be said, perhaps, that the Queen is: Mrs. Modini-Wood, and her lagies in waiting are Mrs. Frank Rader and Mrs. E. M. Ross. The maids of honor were Miss Harttie Chapman, Miss Mary Foy, Miss Saaie Goodrich, Miss Freda Hellman, Mrs. J. R. Hamilton, Miss Lou Hazard, Miss Sadie Johnson, Miss Gertrude Johnson, Miss Corinne King, Miss Fannie Lockhart, Miss Clara Newton, Miss May Newton, Miss Apgatha Sabichi, Miss Wharton, Miss Edith Woliskill, Miss Martha Widney, Miss Go- lita Workman and Miss Mary McLellan. The first of the grand festival conceits was given this evening at .the Pavilion be- fore a large audience. The festival week is well under way. The crowds in attend- ance are immense. It is midnight of the first day of the Queen’s reign, and the streets are com- paratively deserted, but here and there, everywhere, in fact, comes the sound of that little whistle that has the knack of expressing an acute surprise in a tone of voice hitherto never attempted. ‘HAS COME TO STAY.” Arrival of the Press Association at the City of Angels Two Hours Ahead of Time. LOS ANGELES, Car., April 16.—The Press Association arrived in its special two hours ahead of time, and as a result took the town somewhat unawares, but com- mittees of the press and the fiesta had got wind of it and were at the station to welcome them. The press headquarters at the Hollenbeck had been beautifully dressed in flowers fér the occasion, and ! Telegraph Poles Are Decorated. thither the visitors were taken and enter- tained. The newspaper men entered the city with a fiesta cry of their own, which runs like this: “Hey-Hey-Hey.” ‘‘Hey- Hey-Hey, C. P. A. Flesta!” A press had been brought along and the excursionists issued from it the first num- ber of “La Fiesta Jaunt,” which announces in its salutatory that it ‘‘Has come to stay.” The party is composed of the following: Mrs. H.

PICTURES BY TELECAAPH, Robert Nixon, Yreka Practical Working of the Idea of a Local In- ventor. It Allows the Lines of a Picture to Be Accurately De- scribed. For the first time a practical test of a recent invention in the sending of pictures by telegraph has been given, and the re- sults appear in the CAry of this morning in its account of the events of the fiésta in Los Angeles. The process has been tested before in a superficial way, but no previous opportunity has been given to the inventor, Charles .Willoughby of this city, to ob- tain really practical results. The picture which appears in the Carrn showing the arrival of the Queen of the Fiesta in Los Angeles is the first practical test of the invention. The picture is, of course, sent in outline only. The details of the picture have to be worked up by the artist at the scene of re- pjoduction under the direction of the ar- tist at the other end of the line. The patent which Mr. Willoughby has received on his invention is upon the process of making the picture and sending it, and not upon any mechanical contriv- ance used in the transmission.
