DECORATIONS By NIGHT.
Crater and Iore Resplendent Than
Ever.

London, June 22.-11 y. m.-With the
filtered out the procession streets after
the show, wedged back again to view
London alight The Examinations
achieved effects more artistically than
the decorations by day.
Tonight. those of the metropolis are,
like everything that had previously
transpired during the morning hours,
greater and more resplendent than
anything in her history.
The symbols of loyalty and affection.
of imperial grandeur and the growth
of the empire, that had met the eye in
painted and gilded notices, devices Of
paper and bunting and spangled cloth
were now reflected for miles in lines
of flaring gas, glow worm oil lamps,
opal globes, paper lanterns and trans
parencies, incandescent lamps. cellr-
loid flowers and hundreds of devices in
thousands of colOred crystals Every
where was brilliancy, sparkle. color.
As was the case with the decorations
during the day, the illumination was
confined principally to the route taken
by her majesty this morning. and may
be said to have begun at Hyde park
corner. Every house showed light in
some way. and where it was sufficiently
brilliant the effect was decidedly en-
HANGED by the gay draperies though
the empty stands added rather a weird
effect.
Leaving the park. the first. notable
determination was that of the Bachelors
club, where a large medallion sur
rounded by a crown. the centre bearing
the " r. L." all in colored crystal.
and the emblazoned words God Save
the Queen" marked the front of the
club. every window of which poured
out a stream of light. Other clubs
followed suit with manv-colOred de-
vices. while the private residences fac
ing Green park were not for a moment
out classed.
INTO CLUBLAND.
Turning into Clubland proper. from
the TOP of St. James street to the ED
of Pail Mall, the domain of the aris-
tocracy was as they wished it, respien-
IDENTIFY fiamboyant. One Of the private
buildings had its facade picked out in
lights of purple and fine gold. radiat-
ing from a medallion portrait of her
majesty shown in cut crystals.
Marlborough House instantly caught
the eye. Across the four pillars at the
entrance to the grounds was noticeable
a large branch in the form of a laurel
in various shades of green, with
natural berries around a crown sur
mounted medallion inscribed ~. r. l."
The Prince of Wales feathers ard
badge figured in the design, the whole
being of the most beautiful crystal.
Passing out of Pail Mall. the ce,iuloid
balloons quite justified French taste.
The incandescent glow lamps hidden in
flower petals, suggested nothing so
much as a child's dream of Tita2ia'i
court. Fleet street from the law courts
to Ludgate circus was a dazzling vista
of prismatic and radiant devices. end
ing up on Ludgate hill in the massive
dome of st. Pauls. brilliantly lit by
search-lights. standing with its huge
golden cross. beacon to greater Lon
don and beyond.
RATIFIED IN LIGHT.
Nothing in all London or elsewhere
exceeded in artistic beauty and
brilliancy of display the scene from
the Wellington statue, with the Bank
of England one side and the Mansion
House on the other. The official home
of the lord mayor was bathed. in so
much light that all the beauties of the
day seemed TO fit in and charminglv
mingle with that of the night.
ON top of the pediment a splendid
