 From early in the morning the rooms of Admiral Foote post in Music hall
 were the scene of busy activity. Mem- l bers of the post were there to receive the flowers which were brought in and as early as 7:30 children with armfuls of l flowers for decorative purposes began to appear Hundreds of children brought 1 flowers which were deposited in the basement of the building, where they were arranged by ladies of the Woman's Relief corps. The names of the children who brought flowers were written down by a committee from Admiral Foote post and the flowers were separated, portion being set aside for each ceme- tery.
 The post has this year inaugurated a new plan of decoration of graves. No- llCt " as gwen OuL llldl pOlltu pldHIS would be thankfully received and many of the children brought them. In pre- vious years cut flowers only have been placed upon the graves These soon withered and it is the plan now to dec crate as much as possible with potted plants which will keep green all during the season.
 The Boys brigade had volunteered to assist the GAR. veterans in decorating | graves and when the veterans started | out in details to the various cemeteries | to decorate, each detail was accompa- nied by an escort of members of the brigade.
 The committees of Admiral Foote post which attended to the decoration in the l different cemeteries, were as follows:
 Evergreen-John S. Jackson, William J. Miller, Fred s. Snow, Lyman E. Bradley, A. D. Sanborn, Daniel Ack- ley William Nichols Weston Ferris.
 Grove street-H. H. Raymond, M. L. Smith, H. F. Shepard, J. H. Barlow.
