Pawtucket tribune. (Pawtucket, R.I.) 1890-189?, 1893-05-09

All the great buildings were brilliant
with light, making n scene remarkable In
itse.f, but the crowning feature OF the
illumination was the plaza and basin. The
west end Of the administration building
was outlined with several thousand incan
descent lamps, and at the other end tho
architectural lines Of the Peristyle, Casino
and Music hall were similarly shown.
Manufacturers hall and the Agricultural
building. forming the sides of the court,
shone with electric effulgence, and about
the MacMonnies fountain electricity rev
eled in wonders Three immense search
lights, placed at various points around the
court, assisted in making up the wonder
ful display. The biggest of these was 1885, :
100000 candle power.
Outside Of the display on Midway plais-
ance, the 5000, 0O0-candle power required
for each Of the fountains and the illumin-
alton Of the wooded is land there were 1000
lights on the administration building, 1000
on the agricultural, 5000 on the electrical
building, 700 ON the peristyle, $50 arc hghts
on the manufacturers, 800 on the Casino
and Music hall and 900 on machinery hall.
About Theodore Thomas.
The national commission began its In
vestigation Of the charges against Theo-
pired that demand was made on tho
musical chief to appear before the oom-
mission The feeling In such that q de-
mand for Thomas resignation Ia predicted.
Thomas is, however, upheld by the local
directory, and while the latter will prob
ably see to it that he il retained in his
position, the national board will make its
revenge as sweet as possible.
Phoebe Couzins' Claim.
With her eyes flashing in . determined
way and her hands filled with documents
Phoebe Couzins appeared in the room Of
the national commission and demanded to
be recognized as member of tho body.
She had number of tilts with the CON-
missioners as To her alleged rights, and
finally President Palmer ruled that tho
matter must be submitted In the form OF
apeuition and then referred to the Judiciary
committee.
New Ensland's Agr riculturs
Is represented at thOfair by the states Of
Massachusetts,. Vermont, Connecticut
Maine and New Hampshire Each of these
states has accepted large assignments Of
space in the agricultural building, and has
erected more or less handsome pavilions In
which to show its products.
While New England is evidently not
seeking to attract immigration ny display
ing the fertility Of her fields, still that SEQ
ton has enough OF interest to make even
the granger states of the west realize that
farmers thrive down east as well. Yester-
day the New England group Of pavilions
was a busy scene. None Of the states
mentioned has its exhibits in thorough
order as yet, but they are pushing matters
In great shape.
Naval Men Entertained.
Recital hall. in the Tabernacle Of Music,
was transferred into fairy bower when
the $50 guests, invited by President Hig-
ginbotham to do honor to the distinguished
naval officers, sat down to the IL o'clock
breakfast. The room on the second floor
was mass OF colers Exotics, cut flowers
and rare china made a pleasing accompani-
ment TO the brilliant uniforms, gay trap
pings and gilt lace Of the visitora The
naval visitors spent most Of the day at
the park, and after last nights illumina-
tion they left for the east.
