SOME DETAILED DECORATIONS
The courthouse wears such bright
appearance as to belle the somber busi-
ness carried on inside. The archways
are filled in with the tri-color, and from
the upper story windows long drapes of
bunting show out brilliantly against the
severe outline Of the stone frontages.
At the city hall the arched entrance
has been filled in with Fiesta colors. and
panel devices in the upper windows are
gathered at the center by shield of the
national colors. Along the facade stani
a row Of pillars made of the tri-color, and
in large letters is the legend. "Welcome
to Our Guests" From all the windows
long streamers project. and the general
scheme of decoration is striking ana
beautiful.
At the Vile de Paris a three-squara
colonnade has been erected in massed
colors. The center one in yellow the other
two being green and red, and the arch
pillars being surmounted with heavy
globes of color. In front Of each arch is
a large trophy Of flags.
L
niture company's store has been made to
appear like an Indian pagoda. The
frame is of olive green, the gracefully
curved dome of red. with yellow foun-
dation. Trophies of flags and foliage
complete a very artistic and attractive
design.
A REALISTIC EXHIBIT
"A most attractive exhibit Is made by
Jacoby Bros, where crowds lined the
sidewalk yesterday peering into the
windows. In one window Is a represen-
tation of San Pedro harbor as 1t will
be when the breakwater is built. Over
the water tiny little tugboats draw the
vessels alongside the wharves and the
surrounding landscape is most admira-
bly, depicted. In the other window is
a most realistic picture of Randsburg
in 1897, and the same camp in 1900. In
the first scene all the conditions of a new
camp are set forth, while about a dozen
brownie miners ply the pick. The other
scene shows large stamp mill in oper-
alton, an irrigating pump, and all the
machinery in use In prosperous min
ing center. The decorative design out
side is simple but effective, and con-
sists of a covered archway Of Fiesta
colors.
Desmond's is generally noted for a
unique design and there is no exception
this year. The Elffel tower is represent
ed in Fiesta colors, and from the top
CLEANS out an electric light. 1t is quite
tall affair, and in the lower part Des-
monds 5000 horse, to be raffied for, will
be placed on exhibition.
A light arched colonnade has been
built around the Wilcox building, each
span being marked by fve-pointed
star. In the upper stories each window
is aslo marked by a star of similar de-
sign.
The erection in front of Lowman's
store, on Spring, between First and Sec
ond, has been made to represent an old
turreted castle, with castellated towers,
and it makes most picturesque effect.
The display at the Royal bakery is
strikingly effective and on Simon Mai
er's establishment is a monster Fiesta
balloon that rfvets attention.
The Peoples store, and also the Lon
don clothing store, have the sidewalk
in front covered in by fanciful arch
ways and with plentiful supply of
bunting and foliage, make handsome
showing.
