THE DECORATIONS.

such gorgeous appearance as she did last
evening. On the Fourth of July there were
more flags hung out and more. bunting dis.
played, but the shower in the evening prevent
ed the display of gas jets that was anticipated.
But last evening every light was trimmed and
burning, and the display of bunting was by no
means meagre. Even the Democrats got SO
enthusiastic over the affair that many of them
flung out their banners and lit up their resi-
dences. In the short time given to prepare
our report it is utterly impossible to give cor
rect idea of the Examinations along the line of
march. Among those worthy of particular
notice we might name that Of S. E. Spring,
Esq on Danforth street. The whole house
was brilliantly illuminated with gas, while
the front of the residence was hung with Chitl-
ese lanterns There was also row of Chinese
lanterns of Hayes and Wheeler stretched across
the street, while fine display of fireworks
was made from the yard. On State street
Judge Shepley and Jas Bailey each made fine
displays of Chinese lanterns, flags and bunting
The residence of Mr.. Henry Fitch on the corner
of Green and Cumberland streets was illumin-
ated aud decorated with excellent taste from
top to bottom. The residence of w. H. Chase
on Cedar street, also presented fine appear
ance. L. B. Smith pat out a picture of the
much talked Of horse, which attracted much
attention. This house was also well iluminat-
| ed and decked with flags. Col. q. A. Smith
| covered the front of his residence on Congress
| street with flags, bunting and Chinese lanterns
| In the centre ola cluster of flags was large
| fine picture of James G. Blaine. A fine dis
| play of fireworks was also made. The resi-
dences of Capt. A. Warwick and B. Stevens
| Jr', 46 and As Danforth street, were decorated
with flags and illuminated with Chinese lam
terms and fine display of fireworks. There
was great enthusiasm as the procession passed
| along, and at nearly all the illuminated houses
whole volley of fireworks greetedthem.
The following is list of a majority of the
| houses illuminated:
