Endeavorers to arrive in the city was the
Cleveland delegation. They came in at
the Union station about midnight. The
white-capped knights of the reception
committee and the knights of the crimson
hue, upon whose caps was inscribed "Ac-
commodation, were right on hand and
ready to fulfill their duty. The delega-

In Holiday Attire.
Boston is arrayed in her most beautiful
garments. As the visitors enter the city,
they cannot fail to be delighted at the
| beautiful decorations of the railway sta
tions. In one or two cases these approach
the superb, the national colors being in
termingled finely with the crimson and
white-the Christian Endeavor colors.
Upon many of the great buildings of the
city, the homes of business thrift and en-
terprjse, are seen outward decorations
which have never been surpassed in elab-
crate arrangement, even upon important
| political occasions or national holidays
| From roof to sidewalk many of these
buildings are hung with the red and the
white, while notices and inscriptions bid
the visitors welcome.
In the windows of the shops throughout
the city the presence of the visitors is
recognized both in decorations as such
and in the arrangement of goods dis
| played for sale. In many cases the decor
ative effect in these windows is exquisite
in the extreme.
But the display is not confined to the
shops where fabrics are sold. Scarcely a
tradesman, whatever may be his wares,
has failed to catch the popular spirit.
And above and over all are seen the little
| flags of crimson and white, bearing the
monogram of the Christian Endeavor
society," In the shops of Christian, Jew
and pagan II is alike displayed, proving
that for the time at least, difference OF
creed and religion are lost in a common
| hrothprhood
