Dublin correspondent, describing the
decorations is the city, says:
There Is continuous line of bunt-
ing from the landing place at Kings
town to the gates OF Phoenix Park.
Every house on the road to Dublin
makes brave show OF bunting. Stands
for spectators have been erected at
t,.ta Do, nu
profusely decorated and the Clyde road
and other highways are decked with
red and green masts and festooned
with streamers and rosettes. The
scenic artist of the Gaiety Theater has
Leeson street. where the Lord Mayor
will meet the Queen. 1t Is a massive
gateway, or triumpnal arch, surmount-
ed by two castellated turrets. From
this entrance gate the Queen will drive
to Merrion Square through continuous
lines of Venetian masts and gaily dec
Grated houses. At the southern corner
of the square she will pass the house
where Daniel O'Connell lived and
there will be flags there as a token OF
welcome. Thence she will go through
a series Of broad avenues, where the
electric railway posts are boxed in
red and masts opposite in blue. and
where the house lines are lighted up
with a splendid blaze of color. Shabby
Clare street will be transfigured into
loveliness by lines of streamer5, fes-
toons of artificial flowers and crimson
and gold shields.
One of the Queens finest glimpses
will be up Grattan street as she turns
toward College Green, for the roadway
Is hung overhead with banners, and
the sides are festooned with a double
line of streamers and flowers. Red
and green masts tipped with golden
harps lead on to the impressive en-
trance of the college, where these
words are emblazoned, God Bless Our
Queen This is the center of Dublin,
with Grattan's famous Parliament
chamber blocking the way toward
Sackville street, with it's splendid mon
uments. The Queen will pass its ionic
colonnades with their fine architectural
lines and drive by the statue Of Grat-
tan, which stands on the site once Sc
lected for memorial to the Prince
Consort
Dame street is a magnificent blaze
of color as far as the entrance to Dub
lin Castle and the City Hall, whence
the route of the procession leads west |
ward across the Liffey to the north |
luays. The decorations are quieter
during the remainder OF the route
along the river to the gate of Phoenix
Park, but there are fine effects of color
1t Four Courts. The Queen will notl
trive through Sackville street, which
S the pride of Dublin, nor will she
PASS either of the two Protestant ca
hedrals, She will not have even a dis
ant view of Kilmainham, where Par
.ell once negotiated peace with the
Gladstone Government, and she will
'e conducted to the vice regal lodge
without passing the spot where Lord
frederick Cavendish and Mr.. Burke
we're assassinated.
The decorations of the city are as
general as they are brilliant and taste
III. Red is the dominant color rather
han green. but there is no lack of gem
line Irish appreciation of the Queens
haracter and virtues. The inscrIp-
IONS on the house fronts are hearty
md affectionate, and the sincerity of
he welcome which the Queen will re-
eiFe cannot be questioned.
