THE DECORATIONS.
The decorations of the executive mansion to-
night we're of an elaboia'e character, and in the
language of one of the oldest employees, "it never
presented handsoner appearance. The various
public gardens In the city ana many private con
seryatOries here and In other cities contributed
their choicest plants and flowers to lend their
beauty and fragrance to the scene Of course, the
blue room, were the ceremony was performed, oc
cupied the principal attention of the decorators
Their work was certainly well done. Ii was
transformed into vertable bower of beauty. A
stately group Of tall exotic plants extended along
almost the entire south end of the room, conceal
ing the windows and south doorway, and rising in
few feet of the ceiling. The larger plants in
cluded eugehias seclas, and among the smaller
ones were cretons marinthas. The foliage plants
were int r5persed with large variety of towering
plants such AZ the magnlcit IbegOniar hydrangeas,
roses and late towering Ozateas. To the right and

were two groups of towering peargoniums,
fuchias, orchids and palms, The centre plant in
each group was the royal phTnicopharum seeha-
larum.
On the right and left sides of the room we're also
two large groups Of plants in full bloom, consist.
ing mostly of roses, begOnias and hydrangeas. Two

their long leaves, formed an arch which stretched
almost across the room. In the hearth under the

large mirrors above the mantels were draped and
festooned with garlands and mixed roses.
The doors leading to the room were also fes-
toontd with heavy garlands of roses in different
distinc. colOrs, thin at both ends, and thicker
towards the centres. Over the main entrance
from the corridor was a beautiful floral scroll in
which the motto "E Pluribus UnumN WAS inter
woven in immorteles.
