The contract for furnishing the electric lights for the ball room was awarded to Mr. John R.

A. Whitting- ham, and the structure will be built by Mr. Samuel Ball. provides for a stand of conside architectural beauty, and architectural lines — rather than the decorator’s art will be its pre- dominant characteristic. The stand will be painted pure white, and on this back- ground will be placed the only decorations, consisting of American flags and red, white and blue bunting. Owing to the dig- nity of the arch under which the President will stand it is believed that the structure will harmonize with the neighboring build- ings, the White House and Treasury De- partment. The seating capacity will be one thousand. One point of excellence in the plan comes from the fact that it mat- ters not-how hard it may rain or storm, the reviewing stand will present about the me appeararce as it would in clear weather. The-e is little or nothing about it to become bedraggled or to lose color. The roof will be so constructed as to avoid entirely the use of all obstructing posts. Altogether, it is the opinion of those who have examined the design for the stand that in fis construction a standard will be established for temporary structures along the avenue that will have to be lived up to in the future, and will prevent for all time the building of large dry goods boxe: which, covered with flags and cheap bunt- ing, have hitherto been called reviewing stands. ipped and Fell.

A public meeting will be held next Monday evening, the Ist proximo, in the First Con- gregational Church for the purpose of af- fording a final opportunity to the citizens of Washington to testify their appreciation of the efforts made by the organization of local Christian Endeavorers, known as the committee of “96, in securing the selection of this city as the meeting place for the great international Christian Endeavor gathering here last summer, and in plan- g and executing the details of the ar- rangements that made the convention such a notable success. Testimonials are to be presented to the members of the commit- tee, and addresses by prominent speakers will be made. The committee in charge of the arrangements for the meeting consists of F. M. Bradley, Rev. Howard Wilbur Ennis and W. W. Warwick. The international Christian Endeavor convention held in this city last July, with its three big tents on the White lot, the magnificent chorus on the Capitol steps, the numerous meetings in the churches, is row but a pleasant memory. For almost two years a number of members of the local union were engaged in the work of preparation. Their organization was known as the “committee of "96," and upon them fell the burden of directing the execution of the innumerable details connected with such a large convention. The commiitee of "96 has filed its final report, and next Monday evening will oc- cur the cicsing incident in connection with “Washington, "96." At the meeting, which will be held at the First Congregational Church, the Christlan Endeavorers of the District and the pubiic generally will tes- tify to their appreciation of the work of the committee. A number of short address- es will be delivered by prominent men. among them Commissioner Truesdell, Pres ident Whitman of Columbian University, President Witttamson of the Y. M. C. A., Corgressman Morse and several pastors of the churches having Christian Endeavor societies. To Chairman W. H. H. Smith an@ to each member of the committee will be presented a framed copy of a set of resolutions prepared by the committee having the meeting in charge. The church wil! be decorated with the ‘96 flags and colors. With the singing of convention songs will close the last “echo” of the memorable convention. As such it will be an occasion of unusual interest, and the church will no doubt be filled with those who os to show their oe geet of the efforts of the committee of "96. - Defrauded by Any Substitute That _ Rees Dealers Try to Sell You of the Larger Profit! — FOR THE TREASURY.
