THE TRIUMPHAL ARCHES.
The Grocers' Arch.

Inc GfOceTS' dfcH.
The most prominent features in the gen
eral and brilliant decoration of our city
for yesterday were the triumphal arches
under which the several professions
marched. Taking them in the order OF
President Arthur's progress yesterday af-
teraoon the first to be mentioned is the
mercantile arch erected by the P. q. Kelly
Mercantile company and Allen, Moon &
Co., over Third street at the Sibley street
crossing. The columns on either side OF
the street on which the arch rested were
of barrels, kegs and boxes of merchandise
in the following order: Base, sixteen bar
rels of syrup, topped by barrels of pork
and pickles, kegs of syrup and fish, and
boxes of soap and canned goods. The arch
was formed with kegs of fish, with can
vased ham and bacon suspended from
underneath. On one side of the arch was
inscribed "P. 81. Kelly, Mercantile Co..
and on the opposite, "Allen, Moon & Co."
Over the center of the arch was an eauilat-
oral triangle bearing the letters, "N. P. R.
R." and underneath, 'St. Paul, "Portland,'
the open space at the bottom being filled
up with two clasped hands, while under
meath the whole, in German text, was the
word welcome" The apex of the arch
was twenty-nine feet above the street.
Bunting and ribbons were used literally,
and with the unique design and happy
arrangement of goods dealt in this arch
formed a picture that will long dwell in the
memory of those who viewed it.

The Chinese Arch.

This arch, designed by 4. M. Dougerty
and constructed by D. McDougal, was
thrown over Wabashaw street, between
Ninth and Tenth streets. In form it was a
double pagoda united and supported by an
arch. The span of the arch was forty feet
in length, leaving an opening Of twenty
four feet in the clear, with passages of
eight feet in widSh at the base on the side
walks. The height was fifty feet with bam-
boo poles twenty-five feet long, surround
ing the pagoda, making a total height Of
ssventy-two feet. Each pole bore g flag
fixed in the center, and the stars and
stripes foated sixty.three feet from the
sidewalk. The towers were thirty-two feet
high and snrmounted by the colors of
America, France, Prussia, England and
Ireland. The center of the arch formed a
unique pagoda, three stories in heiget,
painted In the Japanese colors of red,
black and yellow; the roof being taste
fully draped in the national eclors OF
red, white and blue. The roof was embel-
lished with o4r two hundred Chinese Ian
terms. On the front side Of the arch was
the motto; Northern Pacific railroad,
connection between China and st. Paul."

The Northern Pacific Arch.

This was erected by the railway compa-
ny, across Broadway at its junction with
Fourth street, opposite the south corner of
its general office building. The span of
this arch was thirty feet six inches, and
the height thirty-nine feet in the clear.
The bases upon which the arch rested
were eight feet six inches in height. There
were four square columns rising from the
base at each end, the four outside ones
being thirty-fve feet IN height, and the
four on the inside two feet shorter. A six
foot staff rose from each column, from
which different colored streamers were
displayed. The arch and four inside
standards were composed Of unthreshed
wheat and oats, and the four outside of
corn and grasses. A high minaret of
grain sheaves crowned the arch. Different
colored ribbons were strung from the
standards across the arch and intertwined
with the grains, the whole forming a beau
tiful picture to look upon, while being at
the same time emblematc of a large por-
ton of the country traversed and opened
up to settlement by the Northern Pacific
road.

nal flags, national banners and bannerets,
inscribed "The Royal Route" with fes-
toons of evergreens and drops of tri-colors
decorated the arch, while the whole front
of the large building was adorned with
evergreens, tri-colored streamers and SN.
P. R. R." bannersts, and row of young
evergreen trees from the North Wisconsin
division were set at the edge of the side
walk along the whole square.
The st. Paul & Duluth general Office
building was nicely decorated, and across
the street in front was suspended a banner
inscribed, Compliments and welcome to
Willard and the Northern Pacific, from the
st. Paul d Duluth Railroad company"
The general Office building of the st.
Paul, Minneapolis & Manitoba railway was
almost covered at the front with red and
white streamers and banners and ever
greens. Two large national flags were
suspended In ~festoons across the street,
and above them was placed a large white
banner with two joined hands painted at
the center and inscribed, "St. Paul, Min
neapolis & Manitoba Railway, St. p, M.
Il M. Railway-Northern Pacific Railway;
Weicome,"

The Seventh Street A9cb.

This was in design and execution unique
and perfect. Its proportions were artistic
and its colors we'll harmonized. Tt was
designed for and named 'The Railroad
Arch" and its outlines and ornaments rep
resented two locomotives and a tunnel.
At the base or either side were striking
limitations of locomotive cowcatchers.
Above these were the boilers, a dozen feet
IN diameter, with fronts and headlights
represented by large discs Of carved wood,
and above them were the tall columns in
similitude of smoke stacks. Over all a
drapery of white and black gave appro-
pirate color5 to the outlined ideal.
At the apex of the smoke stacks
rising volumes Of smoke were closely rep
resented by contrasting sheaves of wheat
and corn with colored paper. The curves
of the arch represented a tunnel in stone
colors. From the base of the arch to the
apex was forty two feet, the width being
forty feet. Depending from the center of
the arch were festoons of evergreens and
red, white and blue cloth. Above the arch
was a group of flags of the principal ma

colors of the smaller nations were ingen-
iously placed around the imitation head
lights. Directly over the center of the arch
was a circular design bearing the mono-
gram "H. v" in large letters, surrounded
by a wreath of evergreens. The keystone
in the center Of the structure bore the
legend "N. P. R. R., 1888" On the front
sides Of the arch were q number of large
panel spaces filed in with the names
of the presidents of Northern
Pacific railroad as follows: Henry Viii
lard, Jay Cooke, J. Gregory Smith, Geo.
w. Cass, Ohas. B. Wrigh! and Frederick
Billings. The names of A. Fl. Barney,
VIM. NJ. Roberts and Edward Anderson,
e1-chief engineers of the road also appear
in panels, while the names of the states
and territories through which the road
travels are placed on the sbase. Also on
the base of the arch was placed the names
of the principal stations on the line of the
road from st. Faul to Tocoma. A beauti-
full feature of the display at this arch
was several vases of flowers placed on a
small platform adjacent to the locomotive
headlights. In the way of establishment
many minute and valuable articles were
employed, all of which added to the beauty
of the general effect. The designers of
the arch were R. Elsner and Emil W. u
rici, the constructors being Wilkin & Remey
and the decorator, Mr.. Walter Dreher, all
of whom contributed to bring about the
beautiful whole.

The City's WetcO1,le.

The city arch, erected over Third street,
just below Cedar street crossing, was of
oriental design, about sixty-fve feet in
width. The arch was of O moresque or
horse shoe form, twenty feet across the
base, and the height of the row from the
pavement was thirty feet. The arch was
fanked on the sides by platforms elevated
above the street ONE eighteen feet, rest
ing on posts trimmed in deep red, the in
tervening spaces being filled up with diff
ferent shades of green. On the platform
were placed symbolic groups of the cities
of st. Paul and Portland, the two termini
of the road. Above the arch was a frieze
SIX feet high of evergreens, bearing tn e
word welcome" in large bronze letters.
Above this frieze there was a light project
ing ~cornice, and surmounting the whole a
huge dome sixteen feet in diameter, OF
yellow ground with rib lines of gold, the
whole structure rising sixty teet from the
street. Ga the four corners of the main
structure were minarsts running up
to a height OF ~forty-fve feet, with
~conical shaped cappings of gold, the min
arets themselves being treated with Turk
ish red aligned with green and silver dec
orations. The main space between the
arch and the corners was richly ornamented
in varied detail, composed of gold and sill.

fenked with evergreens, the whole framed
in by a plain black band, ornamented with

peated seven times. The remaining space
was p~rofusely ornamental with floral
decorations, streamers, etc. The inside OF
the arch was covered with bands of yellow
| and green, and was festooned with rib
bons. The minarets were trimmed with
| blue and white, and from their tops
foeted tri-colored and red and white
streamers, while festoons were strung in
bewildering number and irregularity to all
parts of the structure. On the platforms,
in addition to the symbolic emblems above
noted, were a score or more of young
ladies, concealed from public view by the
decorations, who showeredth distinguished
visitors with bouquets and cut flowers as
they passed underneath. Extending on
both sides of Third street from the arch
12S feet in length in the direction of Wab-
ashaw was a platform seven feet in width,
elevated some few feet above the street,
which was occupied by young girls dressed
in white, who distributed flowers to the
visitors as they passed.

on the reverse side the inscription; "St.
Paul greets Japan through tho N. p. B.

and ornamented with Japanese fans and
parasols. The base Of the towers were
covered with a mass of evergreens, and
the mottos were likewise adorned with the
same material. Part i-colored pennanss
foated from the arch bearing the words

able spaces of the structure were filled
with q bewildering variety of flags, drag
ons, suns, moons, stars, etc, in silver and
gold leaf, the whole making a decidedly
beautiful effect.
EVEN
At the "Seven Corners" instead Of an
arch a mammoth canopy of different col
ored cloths was stretched over the whole
space. The four posts on which the can,
opy rested were decorated with the BavaY-
ian colors. The edges of the canopy were
heavily fringed with different colored trim
mings, the whole being as bright and at
tractive as brilliant colors could make.

How Diamonds are Gut.

"There are three processes necessary
to be gone through with between the
rough stone and the diamond as you
see it here,' said Cleveland jcweler to
reporter. First piece of stone the
required size must be cut off. To do
this we use circular saw made of
sheet iron and without teeth. 1t work
ed like a woodworker's saw, and
two men stand at the treadle. One
man holds the stone to be cut tightly
against the edge of the saw, while the
other, using a small leather dipped in
oil, applies diamond dust to the edge
of the saw The saw is made of very
ductile metal, and the particles of dia-
mond dust, becoming firmly set in,
soon wear through the han dest stone.
Now the piece of diamond passes to
the cutting table, upon which is strap.
ped wheel running parallel to the top
of the table. The stone is fastened by
cement to the end of a stick six inches
long. The lapidary takes his stick in
his right hand and holds the stone
firmly against the wheel until one face
is ground down. Diamond dust and
water are constantly applied to the
wheel. The table and upper facets Of
the stone are cut this way, and the
stone is then removed from and read
justed to the stick before the lapidary
cuts the under sides, callets and remain
ing facets, The stone is manipulated
the same in the third or polishing pro
cess as in the cutting process. The
wheel, however, is composed mainly oI
tin, and tripoli and rotten stone ar,
used IN the polishing process"
