THE EXPOSITION.

| eacn Dutiulng Is so taStefully ornamentou una
it would be useless TO mention any one in par
ticular.
The T., c. 4 L. depot and the Board of Trad,
Rooms. on Vine street, have also not been for
gotten, but are both as handsomely arranged
| with decorations as possible.
John Church's Music store, on Fourth, neai
Walnut is tastefuliy fitted up with hangings
OF green, and though not of the most elaborate
ly furnished, still presents handsome ap
pearance.
The Burnett House windows are crowded
with green ornaments and flags are exposed In
| superhuity.
John shillito has his windows tastefully
decorated with large flags and vast number
Of fags is pending from every available
place.
The st. Nicholas is, without doubt, the finest
place decorated. A large flag waves over the
street, and the pilasters in front OF the hote
| are wound round with cedar. Hanging bas-
kets OF flowers are floating heavily In the air
| and the front OF the building is artfully ar.
ranged. The grandest thing is the collection
| Of gas-fowers, which Will be illuminated this
evening, the Arst time for three years. Natu-
| al flowers are also interspersed with the gas
| flowers.
Mr.. Wilde, at the corner of Fourth and Race
streets, has decorated his building, and 1t now
presents very fine appearance.
The Gas Company Is another Of the most ar
tictically arranged places. OF decorations.
semi-c OF gas pipe has been put in front ol
! John street,with streamers OF red, white and
blue ribbon, resembling the rays of the sun.
Flags, flags and decorations were every
where. From Fourth out as far as the eye
could reach the sight was dazzling, and such a
crowd Of surging humanity as was there. Both
| sides Of the street were jammed l4ocomotion
was all but impeded. Board piles, window
sllls, balconies, high steps, roofs Of houses and
| every available place was filled with eager
| parties awaiting the advance OF the procession.
The noticeable decorations on this street were
those Of JOS. Schoenenbergers hardware store,
Mill, close by; the cigar store Of VIM Uirich,
No. 267; the shoe store OF II. x. Rogenschutz,
No. 243, and the tailoring establishment of u.
p. VOnstein, next door south. But ever, body
showed bunting, and the general effect was
sublime.
The decoration of the STAR building. which
has attracted SO much attention, and Is gener-
laly considered among the most beautiful on
the line, is the work OF MIR. T.. II. Bonham.
He did 1t well, and we are proud Of him.
