anent citizens have been busily engaged
In preparing for the present week, and,
as result Of their efforts, the comfort
and convenience of the tens of thou
sands of visitors have been SO well pro-
yided for that it seems to-day as if moth
inc more remains to be done. In the
matter of accommodations especially
Detroit has outdone itself and there
need be no fears that any visitors will
be compelled to content themselves
with the greensward of the parks and
fields. or the dOorways of the big build
ings to find rest for their weary bones
after the shades Of night have fallen.
The hotel accommodations alone will
provide for goodly number Of visitors,
while in addition the homes of 5000 or
A 900 residents have been thrown open,
and no less than $4,000 free quarters
have been secured and are regis
aered with the committee on infor
nation, which has S. r. Coleman at its
head. Every assignment made to
Visitor for lodging is accompanied by
full instructions and maps giving its To-
cality, while in addition, eleven special
Stations have been established through
but the city where complete glossary
of assignments are registered, and all
Questions answered. The Sons of Vet
Grams have also volunteered their serv-
ices as guides through the city, and on
fhe whole the facilities are such that
not even the most cautious visitor need
leave the city with a feeling of dissatis-
Faction.
Detroit presents a beautiful appear
ance under the summer sun to-day.
Never before in her history has she
been decked in such gorgeous attire.
From the wharves on the river front,
away miles back into the agricultural
Suburbs, there is hardly residence, or
business house, store, or official build
inc, upon which the national colors
are not played. Many ofthemare liter
ally enveloped in bunting of artistic de-
sign, while strips of canvas bearing SEN
Fences of greeting are to be encoun-
4 tered dozen times IN single block.
across the principal streets are magniti-
cent trlumphal arches. The most i'm
posing one, over Fort Street, at Girls
wold, is intended to represent Peace
in sympathy with the prevailing SEN
timent of the week. 1t is built
to represent marble. Heavy pill
lars enclosing on three sides OF the
street balustrade, support the super
structure or arch proper, which is built
light and open, and contains magniti-
cent display of tropical plants and flow
zers, the contribution of the Florida del
legation. Across Woodward Avenue is
IAN arch representing war, decorated
with guns, cannons, battle-tiags, and all
the habliments of War. There is a
third arch on Jefferson Avenue near
the bridge, consisting OF two towers
@one on each side of the car track; anoth-
Ter at Woodward Avenue at the junction
with jefferson, and still another at
Woodward Avenue and Grand Circus
Park. The latter is an imitation stone
arch reaching from curb to curb.

Beginning to pour in this morning, but
the great rush will not commence until
