The contest was good-natured throughout, and now that it is over and the carnival begun, hats are off so Queen Monica. May her reign be happy one, never to be forgotten. FOUGHT WITH OROZSCO Capt. Dalton With Animal Show, has Exciting History One of those true sons of adventure, so fond of it that when not dabbling in revolutions he hunts wild animals for circuses as a diversion, is Capt. Fred Dalton, connected with the Kaufman-Beckwith Jungle Zoo, on the carnival midway. Dalton's latest exploit before becoming the custodian of Teddy, the baby orang-outang with the show, was to be arrested in the international complications attendant upon the recent Mexican revolution, and he is now awaiting trial along with General Price and others in Los Angeles. He fought at Juarez under Orozsako, being one of his battery captains. He was also at Agua Prieta and in the thick of the fighting at every point. He was wounded before Juarez fell, remaining in the hospital several weeks. Prior to that he took part in a dozen or more of those South American teapot-tempests, and has been a soldier of fortune generally. He was also mixed up in an attempt to steal the plans of Nagasaki harbor during the Russo-Japanese war while acting as a secret agent for the Russian government, and escaped only by fighting his way through a squad of Japanese troops, with several other American adventurers, clambering aboard a ship and making the captain cut loose at the point of a revolver and steer for the open sea. He also fought in the Boer army. He has been identified with nearly all the big circuses as animal-trainer. Once a lion nearly killed him, a portion of the ribs on the right side being missing. Another time a leopard nearly chewed his leg off, but he still manages to give a pretty good account of himself and is already planning another trip to Africa in quest of big game with which to enlarge the Kaufman-Beck-with Zoo. HOMER G. AMES ZETTE CALIFORNIA STATE LIBRARY 1911 NUMBER 50 DAYS' FESTIVITIES CROWDED STREETS BLOSSOM IN GAY ATTIRE Ten Thousand Sight-Seers in Merry-Making Mood. Flags and Buntings Exceeding in number the throngs which made celebrations here memorable in the past, and with thoroughfares gaily decorated with flags and bunting all about them, Anaheim's ten thousand visitors yesterday jostled each other in the streets in a gay rush to be merry, for was it not the first of Mother Colony's Carnival days? In the evening they found themselves transported into fairyland, with myriads of colored electric lights overhead and displays of incandescent lights in business houses that outrivalled anything hitherto undertaken in this city. Anaheim has held many notable celebrations in the er in Los Angeles or by one of the county's numerous industries. In some cases one concern has taken as many as five booths, notably H. A. Dickel. The attractiveness of the decorations is only equaled by the illumination afforded the booths at night, and the whole furnishes one maze of color. Owing to a delay in receiving the tents the work of installing the exhibits did not commence until Tuesday morning. As fast as the "tops" were pitched, the framework marking off the booths was placed within, and although the exhibitors and those connected with the California Carnival In the evening they found themselves transported into fairyland, with myriads of colored electric lights overhead and displays of incandescent lights in business houses that outrivalled anything hitherto undertaken in this city. Anaheim has held many notable celebrations in the past, which have stood forth as among the most largely attended and most spectacular ever undertaken by a city of its class in Southern California, but it remained for yesterday and last night to be eye-openers regarding progress the town is making along the line of entertaining. From an early hour in the morning to late at night, the streets were crowded with visitors from every section in the county, as well as from points outside the county. The throng was larger than those in charge of the carnival had anticipated, yet the entertainment of all was taken care of admirably. No stranger within the city's gates yesterday went away unfed, and no one but left town a better friend of Anaheim than before. People were in town from the independent state of San Juan, as well as from less distant sections in the county, from Santa Ana, Tustin, Orange, Huntington Beach and the peat lands, from the nearby towns of Olive, Fullerton, Buena Park, Los Alamitos, Yorba and other places. And was Olinda present? Well, rather. The oil drillers came early and stayed late. They do that usually, but yesterday they came earlier and remained later than usual. Had they not chosen for the Carnival a queen, and were not the oil men trumps? Carnival colors of red, white and blue were everywhere displayed, as were the Pythian colors, red, yellow and blue. Many business houses were handsomely decorated. Probably never before in the history of the city were the business houses so lavishly decorated. At night the electric illumination was brilliant. Crowds upon the streets were the greatest in the city's history. Those competent to judge estimated the crowds at not less than 10,000. And this was the first day of the Carnival. What will the other days have in store? It is the first time in the history of Orange county that a five days' festival is being promulgated. The scheme is an ambitious one, V. U. SIMPSON dealers also have their section and are making a noteworthy display; electrical exhibits are also numerous, as well as merchandise, fruit and farm products, unique specimens of vegetables and other things being shown in the latter connection.

The scheme is an ambitious one, but it is turning out bigger than its most enthusiastic projectors had fondly hoped. THE INDUSTRIAL EXHIBITS Occupying in all five big tents, the exhibit of live stock, poultry, agricultural products and the outputs of Orange county's many industries gathered together in the enclosure at the carnival grounds is one of the most noteworthy displays that hsa ever been placed before the public of Southern California for inspection, and reflects no end of credit upon Chairman Davis and his exhibit committee, who have had the matter in charge. Three "big tops," each 100 by 50 feet, take care of the industrial and agricultural end of the program, while two smaller ones contain the livestock. In the larger tents each of the 100 booths is taken either by Anaheim's merchants, some wholesalers. Dalton speaks eight different languages, including all Oriental tongues. He is a native-born American, but spent his early life in Africa and India with his parents, his father having been American consul in the Far East. He somewhat resembles a Hindu, and is often taken for one. dealers also have their section and are making a noteworthy display; electrical exhibits are also numerous, as well as merchandise, fruit and farm products, unique specimens of vegetables and other things being shown in the latter connection.
