Lighted up by athou- sand gasiights, which flickered and flared with the measured endences of the music, the decorations showed up to splendid ad- vanta ‘I'he committee had worked hard in decorating the vast hall, but they felt amply repaid for their labors, by the exclam- ations of surprise and delight which were to be heard everywhere. Banners, tlags and festgons in endless pro- fusion greeted the eye in all direetions. On the sides of the music gallery on the north were draped soveral® lntks fiage which completely covered up the woodwork, Shiclds, breast-plates and arms pinned to the sides of the gal added to the martial aspect of this feature of the decorations, ‘Lwo large flags, twenty-five feet fn length, hung from the gallery either end. Tmmedfately in front of the resting on a raised plattorm, were tw nons, flank on_either side by arms and flags. The cannon and guns were brought trom Fort Omaha, and were those used in the actual service. Over the entrance on the south side was festooned a sixty-foot flag, which was gathered in the middle and tiéd up by cord. Large shields covered with the stars and tripes, were placed above and below the How beautiful feature of the decorations was rge white sign, hung with festoon ring in colored letters the word *Cl 2 This was suspended trom the roof, exactly in the center of the hall.

The canvas is said to have been the largest ever laid west of Chicago, beinig 117 feet in longth and 66 feet in width. Rows of chairs were placed aronnd the canvas, which was in the form ot a long ellipse. Con- trary to expectations the canvas floor was remarkably easy to dance on. To thie spectator looking on from the gal: lery the scene was one to bo remembered for a life time. ‘The moving throngs of beautiful dressed lndies and of gallant gentlemen, the brilliant lighted up by the streaming tongues of flames from a thousand gas jets, all blended into a sceno once witnessed, never to be forgotten. ‘The committeo is indebted to the following for assistance In pre decorations: 11 of the Fort Omaha Union Pacitic head )i Company, 8 (0 .
