the most elaborate displays on Bank street. Flags and rosettes were used with good effect and the word "Welcome" stood out in bold relief. He also had 6 bust of Lincoln, which attracted atten. tion. Neisner's building, occupied by the Buffalo Clothing Co.,, was covered with bunting and Justice Jackson, the sage of Bank street, and Bicycle Dealer Cassedy did their part in decorating. Smiths building on the same street was also elaborately trimmed.
 AT THE CORNER OF BANK AND MAIN
 STREETS WAS A PINE ARCH,
 dark blue and dark. red being the coIors used. It attracted much attention. Land. lord Pixley as usual "did himse If proud,' the New England house being handsome ly and appropriately decorated with flags, streamers and bunting. Across the street the decorations of Staub & Mallett show. ed of finely, and this building attracted much attention. Roger Sherman hal was covored with flags, for which doubt less Selectmau Soule deserves praise. Others on Main street who deserve praise for the enterprise shown in decorating their houses or buildings were Charles Camp, Mrs Minor, Col Starr, Turney Soule, the occupants of the Postt flee building, Carlson & Meloy, c. H. Booth, Carl Schoverling, Frank Humeston, Mrs Wright, pr Wright, H. O.. Warner, Mrs D. c. Sanford, H. s. Mygatt and others.
 As you might suspect,
 THOSE wHITTLEsEY AVENUE FOLKS DID
 THEMSELVES PROUD.
 At the end of the street toward East street was an arch with the words, "An honor to the firemen." Perhaps J. Le- Roy Buck had the most elaborate decora- tions on this street, but others who show cd patriotic spirit were Dr Griswold, pr Barker, Rev MT Plumb, E. J. Emmons, J. Edwin Hungerford, Miss Roberts, A. l.. Conkey and J. B. Cox.
 Your scribe didn't have time to go all oyer the route, but on East street we noted that Dr Todd and Charles N. Hall both outdid themselves in decorating, with the doctor carrying eff the prize. We saw the doctor later trsmping along with the fire laddies, dressed in one of those handsome suits and getting over the ground at lively rate. Others on this street who had the decorating fever were Collector Kinney, Henry Hine, R. c. Em- mons and MT Evitts. On Church street they tried to outdo their neighbors on the aristocratic avenue to the north. Here was Henry Kinney, Charles Leach. F. M. Cassedy, Robert Dunlap and Hubert Thomas, who decorated their houses in becoming style, to say nothing of the Wa ter Witch Hose house, which was ablaze with bunting and flags. At the south of the park, Samuel R. Hill, Frank Soule, pr Bostwick and the proprietor of the Baldwin house all decked their buildings in an appropriate manner.
