THE DECORATIONS
The drill room, on the same floor With the CON-
pany rooms, was very neatly decorated and adorned
WITH elegant paintings which were collected for the
occasion by Louis Lang, the artist. The large drill
room was also tastefuy draped with red, white and
blue buntlng, aud had, as one OF Its chief attrac-
TONS iountain which sent forth delicate spray OF

GOOD IDEA.
1t should be remembered that one OF the very
best features OF the entertainment was that II was
carried on strictly on the temperance plan. Not a
bottle with 'drop OF the crainer,n or anything
else OF kind to delight tle palate OF a
thirsty Loper was visible III any OF the rooms.
When this state OF affairs was announced 10 gang
OF Bonemans who had nocked 10 the armory note
book in hand, 50 as to advertise their calling TO all
the oatsde world which came along, II nearly broke
their hearts. II would have melted q maidstone 10
have seen them In their distress; but II had one
good effect in tie long run, and that was to make
them leave the building sober. Tne armory Will be
open to the public free gratis this evening.
