end of the Hall, where the Prince was to be received
by the Chairman of the Board of Managers, there was
a ,ri-colored silk canopy, behind which was pihced 4
transparency representing the French vessels oil war
awaiting hls arrival. Surrounding the canopy were
placed the arms Of France, and the Hays oi ooih eoun-
tries gracefully %intrriwined, formed a beautiful aud EN-.
blema,ical drapery, hanging in folds over tue portraits
Of Washington and Faneuil. The front WINS orna'

of the Lrpiop Of Honor, while above 1t is the coat OF
arms of France, with arms Of Massachusetts and of the
| United States on either side. Beneath ana nfh'nd the
