THE STREET DECORATIONS
The rain yesterday played havoc with the
decorations in many places, and washed the
coloring out of the flags and bunting. In some
instances the houses look as though a painter
had gone over them with brick wash. In other
places the water did not affect the decorations
In the least, and the flags and bunting look as
wen as II did before the rain. member of a
firm OF New York decorators said to a STAR
reporter last night that the people here were
| too slow in having their buildings decorated
The work OF putting up the decorations, he
said, should have commenced last Monday, at
the latest, as it will take five hundred men to

the eye."
