p comns VOLUME LXXVIL—NO. 158, HEALDSBURGS TURN. Opening of the Pretty Carnival of the North. QUEEN EMMA CROWNED. Never Has There Been Such Rejoicing in a City of Sonoma. SUBJECTS SHOUT GREETINGS. In the Parade, Plaza and the Pa- villon Due Homage Is Shown Her Majesty. HEALDSBURG, CAn., May 16.—The triumphal march of California’s carnival north from far Los Angeles reached Healds- burg this morning, and the era of revelry here has begnn. The city is thronged with visitors already. The perfume of roses, and the throb of musicis in the air, and the rich colors of the festival, blue and gold, are everywhere. It has been a notable day in Healdsburg. She dressed herself up and laid her plans for a carnival that will take its place in the front rank of the splendid procession ot holiday affairs the spring has inaugurated. Bhe invited the good people of the State to come and join in her merry-making, and they are arriving by every train that enters the city, and when they depart it will be to'spread the glory of Healdsburg. With ber beautiful plaza in the very heart of the city she is peculiarly equipped for a carnival which all may view and take part in to the very best advantage. ‘When jocund day stood tiptoe on the misty mountain top to the east eager to catch the first glimpse of the holiday city this morning he was saluted with the flutter of a thousand banners and the blare of trumpets. The cify ‘was ready; her gay clothes were nicely adjusted and her head was up in the air with her bright anticipations. Already the holiday-maker was abroad and his number increased with the passing maments. The Queen had chosen one of the first morning hours in which to take charge of things, for these carnival queens are gay and capricious, and val spirit, sometimes he night and again when the ,.and again, as it were, they co the young day himself. It was 11 o’clock when she made her public ap- pearance from the royal residence on Matheson street. A cavalcade of mounted knights, dressed in the splendor of the sixteenth-century knight, from this city, and another troop from Alexander Valley, escorted her to her throne in the plaza. The Sotoyome band led the procession with City Marshal Leard. who had command, and then came the gallant knights escorting the Queen. The royal carriage was the first of a long line. It wasrichly and tastefully dressed. In the carriage with Queen Emima Meiler were her first maids of honor, Misses Maud and Annie McLean. and the pretty little crown-bearer, Miss Nina Luce.. In the grand carriage were the other maids, Miss Lenora Redding and Miss Alice Haigh. Following these were otheér carriages in which' were the retinue of ladies: and gentlemen. The procession moved through the principal streets:to the plaza, which ‘was now crowded with the merry-making populace. In the center of the: plazais a tower, baliway up which a wide platform had been erected, and on this the throne was in plain view of every eye. Thetower and stage and throne were completely buried] in green things, making a striking, beau- tiful point about which the festivities might swing. The procession moved entirely around the plaza and then stopped at the main entrance. The two silver-clad knights who rode’ beside the royal carriage assisted the Queen and her ladies to alight and led them to the plaza gates, where Mayor Young, Rev. R. Messenger, chairman of the reception committee, and Edward Norton and Dr.J. R. Swisher met them. Two little pages, Willie White and Joe Miller, led vhe way, and just behind them little Lena Luce carried the silken cushion upon whichthe Queen must kneel to re- ceive her crown. They ascended the steps to the throne and then the populace gave its first united and royal greeting to the Queen. Rev. Mr. Messenger questioned the Queen as to her purposein her rule, if it was good, and the Queen removed all doubts by her frank answers. She kneeled upon the cushion and Dr. Swisher placed the golden crown upon the dark hair, where it seemed to fit well and properly, as though the one had long been designed for the other. She rose up and took her place on the throne, and the maids of honor and fable. It speaks to all ages and to all races in rhythmic tongue that never varies with shades of distinction, that are ever new, every syllable a volume of wisdom and beauty. W“By their beauty these flowers express the tender loving thoughts of your subjects for their Queen, and by their. fragrance is symbolized their gratitude for your royal presence and favor. We assure -your Majesty that the devotion of your subjects for their Queen is only surpassed by your benignity and fidelity to their interests. ‘We await the pleasure of your Majesty." The Queen’s proclamation, calling upon all her loyal subjects to be true to the spirit of the carnival, to enjoy themselyes to the limit, to cease from worry and to entertain their visitors, was read by E. M. Norton, and then the band saluted the new ruler with ‘‘God Save the Queen,” and the people hailed her again with another great cheer, which was repeated and con- tinued as she descended among ther again to take her place in the royal car- THE SCENE FOLLOWING THE 00301‘7ATI PRICE ' FIVE CENTS. and flowers; and the music_was excellent.

The Queen is ‘a° strikingly handsome brunette, with lustrous brown eyes and graceful figure. She was magnificently gowned in a rich robe of white brocade satin'en train. Its trimmings were of gold passementeries. In the coilsof her wealth of dark hair nestled dainty rosebuds of pure white. White kid slippers and gloves completed a toilet of rare beauty. Her two principal maids of honor, Miss Maud Hall and Miss Annie McLean, whose blonde beauty served to heighten by con- trast both their own and that of the Queen, were gowned alike in blue silk and white flowers were twined in their hair. The other two maids of honor, Miss Leonora Redding and Miss ‘Alice Haigh—the for- mer a brunette and the latter a blonde— wore dainty carnations of canary silk, and in their hair there blossomed & cluster of yellow marguerites.
