The entire force of laborers, mechanics,
and in fact all the attaches Of the expo
sition, we're busily engaged yesterday In
preparing for the grand double cPlebra-
tion which will to-day mark the official
close of the fair and the anniversary OF
the signing of the declaration Of American
independence.
There was the greatest confusion about
the grounds during the afternoon. The
driveway around the grand central court
was almost impassabl even for pedestrl-
ans, the entire space being literally sirewn
with lumber used in constructing the
arches and the decorations which were be-
ing placed conspicuously about in every
available place
One arch has been placed directly in
front OF the Administration building, one
just east of the main entrance to the Me-
chanical Arts building, and the other di-
rectly opposite on the court in front Of the
Horticultural and Agricultural building
The two arches Old the sides of the court
will be beautifully decorated with bunt-
ing The one which is to be placed in
front of the Administration building will
be in the form of a tower with four
foundations, occupying the entire space
between the pavement around the allegori-
cal fountain and the lawn that fanks the
entrance to the building.
This arch will have forty feet clear, so
that all the floats in the procession can
pass under it without difficulty. 1t is to
be covered with netting and studded with
thousands OF flowers, and will certainly
add to the general picturesqueneSs OF the
grand court on this occasion.
a force Of electricians were engaged In
: mounting numerous spectacular incan-
descent frames about the inner circle Of
the central court. They are placed but a
. few feet apart, and are all of different de-
signs, and will undoubtedly prove an at
tTactive feature after dark.
- 1t is expected that the parade will reach
the exposition grounds at noon. To the
grand pageant which will have been
. formed down in the city there will be
added at the panhandle the five floats pro-
Yided by the exposition management. One
Of these will represent Uncle Sam in a
gorgeous chariot; another will represent
the crowning of the heroes by Abraham
. . Lincoln; another William Penn beneath
the treaty tree; another Farragurs flag
ship, and the fifth the United States Signal
Corps at work upon the mountains.
~ The procession will enter the exposition
by the hortn gate and pass up 10 front of
the Fine Arts and horticultural buildings,
In front of the Administration building
and so out onto She Midway.
The head of the lire will turn off the
Midway opposite the Scenic Railway, by
the side of the Mirror Maze, and enter the
recreation grounds, turning sharply to the
left and passing in review at the grand
. stand, 1t Will then be necessary that the
procession shall proceed like a snake
around the recreation grounds, winding in
and out, so that there may be room for the
6a 40 cTot 'bo
exercises will then begin with the grand
massing of all the military bands on the
:, arrival of the procession, and their united
playing of national airs, under the diree-
lion of Professor L. III. Won der Mebden.
