1t has been asked why the magnificent
electric illumination of the Cross. at the
Pico House, in honor of the Knights
Templar, is not lighted early in the
evening. The reason is that until the
completion of the extension Of the
electrical works no lights can be fur
nislled, and it Is necessary to wait for
the closing Of some of the stores before
enough burners can be cut cut to furnish
the light. Messrs. c. w. Gibson,
Feintuch Bros, Phil Hirsehfeld, h. c.
Weiner, H. Jevne. Dillon L Keneally,
L. Harris 4 Co., j. w. Robinson aud
Meyberg Bros. have kindly consented
that their lamps can be cit out to fur
nish the light. The illuminationsha
ELECTED much admiration from the
strangers visiting the city, and they
declare that nothing prettier has been
exhibited elsewhere during the Conclave.
