Last night the Electric Light Company
lighted up the 25 electric lights placed on the
Promenade on 25-foot poles at $50 feet dis
tance between them, and the scene was
striking. The white tents, of which 500 had
been placed in position, stood out with
startling distinctness, while beyond stretched
the ocean, its blue waters shining in the
white light, which had the effect of moon
light, making here and there silvery chan
nels through which the white-winged yachts
and sail-boats and the putting steamers made
their way, their owners out to see the effect
of the illumination from the swater. The
promenade itself was alive with people, and
the unbroken lines Of carriages looked, in
the distance, like broad black bands of NOV
ing insects.
The tents now come up well to Congress
street on the right of the line, and about 150
have been erected on the left
