Last Friday might the special com- mittee of the Knights Templar gen- eral committtee, which was appointed to arrange for the decoration of the city during\ the conclave week, de- cided what the decorations and illumi- nations shall be. At the ferry landing, foot of Market street, there are to be two immense columns that will sup- port an arch having a span of fifty feet and bearing in electric lights, ““Welcome, Sir Knights,” in large let- ters. The columns will be covered with garlands and embellished with electric groupings of Templar and American flags. -Along the line of Market street on both sides, from the ferry to Ninth street, will be-erected tall poles fifty feet apart and in the center of the street, at a height of forty feet above the pavement, will be stretchéd a single wire between the two points named. From the top of each pole to this wire will be stretched a string of electric lights, so as to form a grand illuminated arch by night. The poles will be covered with evergreens and a string of electric lights will be wound around each. The various emblems of the order, wrought in colored lights, will be displayed at numerous yolnh along this line. Around the four sides of Union each corner there will be a large arch. Around the monument in the center of the square will be a circle of tall columns. From these there will be garlands of evergreens looped to the poles on the sides and also strings of electric lights, so as to form an arbor by day and an illuminated court of honor by night. These columns will be lavishly decorated and surmounted by flags, artistically grouped. At this point there will also be a large num- ber of Templar emblems in electrical effects. A band will furnish music by day and by night at the square. The committee, consisting of Sir Knighits C. L. Haskell, John P. Fraser, ‘Willlam Mooser and H.
