thrown out and the sttua ton was un-
changed, except that Judge Brown. OF

seat all the vast crowd that Is now on
the ground. The Alhambra rink present
ed . picturesque appearance. From the
centre of the roof long streamers Of red,
white and blue stretched to every corner
of the big hall and every streamer bore
a dozen American flags. On each side OF
the hall the long lines of bunting are
draped extending to each half dozen raft
ers at the side, back over the big gallery.

In the centre hung a monster lantern Of

lery in the rear and red, white and blue
is hung over the footlights on the stage
Over the stage an American eagle flaps
his wings.
After the 800 delegates and alternates
are seated, there Is room on the floor Of
the hall for about 400 visitors. On the
