most enhancing and one TO be re-
membered forever by those who are
fortunate enough to witness it. Even
last night seemed to be NOT only A
forerunner of the Jubilee, but almost
a part of il. The people of the city
seemed TO have caught the infection
for there were several thousand peo-
pie on Main street and the Whole
street had holiday appearance For
three blocks the. buildings are being
covered with a Drofusion of the Ju-
bilee colors-red, yellow and sage
green. From 8 until 10 o'clock last
night some parts of Main street. par
ticularly between First and Second
South, were nearly impossible. There
were also great crowds around the Hall
of Relics and there were more visit
ors there than at any time before. Ad-
ditional relics are being put in place
daily and the exhibition will be COM
plete by the opening on the day of the
celebration. The tribunes have been
erected on both sides of Main street
between Third and Fourth South, and
they have seating capacity of 10000.
These seats have been erected for the
special accommodation of the masses,
as practically every window along
Main street has been secured and the
tribunes will be the only place from
which a view can be obtained of a
double row of the five great parades,
as the professions will all counter
march at that point. The seats extend
the entire length of the block They
were constructed under the supervision
of the city engineer and are perfectly
substantial, capable of holding three
or four times the weight that can be
placed upon them.
