Magnificent Decorations Mt Foundry
Church.
The decorations of Foundry Church will
form an important feature, and in point of
originality and magnificencc reflect credit
upon those who had this branch of the af
fair in charge. The high pitched audito-
rum, with its Gothic arches and futed
black the galleries being similarly fes-
TONED, the decorations dropping in graceful
folds at different points and held together
Ny handsomely arranged rosettes. Gas
jets, with reflcctors placed here and
there i'll the upper portion of the
edifice, with the golden-branched chande-
Tiers on either side of the mammo tn
organ, will shed brilliant lustrc over the
scene, relieving the harsh and otherwise too
severely sombre effect of the sable hang
ings. In the body of the church, where the
greater portion of spectators are to be
seated, there will be no decorations, but the
altar and immediate vicinity will present
Il spectacle sad but lovely. On the wall
just over the heads. of the officials of the
order q striking picture of the late Prcsi-
dent, taken from the lodge room. is
placed, beneath which are crossed
American flags and the lodge banner, of
white satin, bearing the inscription in let
tiers of gold,
In DcO Fiducia NOstra.
Tropical plants in pots and tubs are
banked around the altar rail, on either side
of which huge palm trees in the vig0r and
freshness of their growth bend their
branches gracefully. A mammoth floral
cross, five feet across, q contribution or Sen
ator Sherman, occupies a conspicuous place
in the centre of the rostrum. Other
floral pieces, contributed by Mr. ].
Stanley Brown, Colonel Rockwell and
others including anchors, broken shafts,
pillows, etc, are elsewhere distributed.
But the most striking feature is
The Catafoique Bearing u Burial Cas-.

in which the remains of the dead President
are supposed to be reposing The
