 At meeting of the general commits tee of arrangements for the convention of the International Association of Fire Engineers, held last evening, final ar rangements for the reception and en- tertainment of the visiting chiefs were made. A committee consisting of Max Adler, w. H. Macdonald, Alderman Rourke and Captain Luzerne Luding- ton was elected to meet a large delega- tion of visitors, which will arrive in New Haven on the steamer Richard Peck Monday night It is expected that about 150 visitors will arrive on this boat at that time. The above mention- ed committee will probably go to New York Monday afternoon and accompany the party to this city on the steamer. All the trains arriving Monday and Tuesday forenoon will be met by com- mittees who will escort to hotels any visitors to the convention arriving on those days. Word has been received that the Chicago delegation, headed by Chief Swenie will arrive on the o'clock train from New York Monday evening. It has been arranged to have seventy five carriages to take the visitors on drive to East Rock park Wednesday, afternoon next week.
 A vote of thanks was passed last evening to the Fair Haven and Vest vile, the Winchester avenue and the New Haven Street Railway companies for the offer of special cars free of cost to transport the visiting chiefs. These lines will furnish cars for the ladies' outing to be held at the East Shore Tuesday afternon and for the trip to the West Shore and banquet there Thursday afternoon.
 A beginning was made yesterday af- ternoon by the decorators on the front of the city hall in honor of the conven- ton. The front of the building will bs elaborately decorated with colored bunting and just above the windows of the mayors office will be large pic- ture of fire chief. The interior of the councilmanic chamber is being exten- sively decorated for the meetings of the convention.
 The arrangement of the incandescent lights for the illumination to be held on the lower part of the green during the convention is now nearly completed. The large welcome Fire Chiefs arch i, ,,Jo iy, front of Center church and early last evening the current was turned on to see if the connections had been proper ly made Everything seemed to work satisfactorily.
 Work on decorating the interior of the old Mcintyre store on Chapel street, where the exhibition of the convention will be held was begun yesterday. In this building various kinds of fire ap- paratus will be on exhibition while in the front windows of the store will be a collection of more than 150 relics of interest to firemen. There will also be an exhibition of fire rolling stock on the broad pavements in the front and rear of the city hall. First Concert Old Guard Band, Tuesday,
