THE ARRANGEMENTS.
The completeness in all the arrangements
for the occasion, looking to the pleasure and
convenience of the guests, and extending to
the minor details, which are often over
looked or sighted in making preparation for
such gatherings, evinced the utmost effort and
good judgmsntupon thepart of the committees,
which was highly appreciated and recognized
By all present. The arrangements for dis
posing Safely of wraps. hats, ovarcoats,
etc, were very satisfactory and very success
fully carried out. In fact, if any went away
fit, it's safe presumption that they came
fearing just such result, and were not morti-
fed in wearing better outfit home than they
brought. The Surveyor Generals rooms at
the opposite side Of the hallway from the As
sembly Chamber were occupied as the ladies'
cloak and reception room, and the stationery
room near the Senate Chamber was used for
hat end coat room for the gentlemen.
THE DECORATIONS.
Both the Assembly chamber and Senate
wers cleared of desks and chairs, canvas laid,
and the entire space, except that occupied by
O row of velvet-upholstered chairs around the
outer line, was devoted to the exclusive use
of those who trippingly extended compli-
ments to the honored of the occasion. The
decorations of the chambers were not as pro-
fuse as upon some former occasions, but were
appropriate, tasteful and effective. Those in
the Assembly room consisted of two rows of
banners around the hall, bearing the notices
and seals of the several States. The upper
row of these depended from the top and over
the front of the gallery, and the other sus-
pended beneath the gallery ceiling along the
outer walls. National shields were also dis
played upon each of the p;lasters, and the
ornamental chandeliers of gilt and crystal
were given pleasing effect with evergreen
wreaths, placed as background. The decora.

was made upon the part of the management
at great displays the finely flushed walls
and architecture of the rooms are not i'm.
proved by 0rapery-the spread of national COL
ors and evergreen, under the strong light of
the ornamental gilt and crystal chandeliers,
produced highly pleasing effect The dsco.
rations were the handiwork of George Boyne,
while the entire management and supervision
of affairs at the Capitol, connected with the
preparations, were under the charge of D. 2.
Dodge.
