Seldom, IL ever In the city OF Wheel
ing, were such elaborate decorative
schemes planned COR the business
houses. The retail and jobbing district
will be one vast sea Of flags and bunt-
ing during the entire week. Even the
advertising signs are excellent speei-
mems OF decorative art.
The scheme OF street decorations
conceived by Mr.. Benson and the COM
mittee is the most ornate and artistic
ever seen in Wheeling. A small army
of men was out yesterday, when the
work started in earnest. The ofncial
decorator had previously taken con-
tracts for all the principal business
houses, and his forces of men were at
work yesterday, hanging and drapins
fronts with washable me- erial.
