The Houston daily post. [volume] (Houston, Tex.) 1886-1903, 1901-12-09

The cold. wet norther that struck Hous-
ton broadcast yesterday morning put some
what of damper 1pon the carnival spirit
but tho clearing OF the weather in the after
noon gave more encouraging assurances.
Yesterdays rain drenched the decorations
and they chung to the sides Of the build
ings like wet rags. but when the rain
ceased and the sun came out in the after
noon they nuttered out to the breeze aud
today, With clear and bright weather, which
is probable, they will look US pretty as
ever.
The stiff north wind ,duSing yesterday
forenoon blew dowp~a large section Of thc
midway wall along Main street In front Of
the Mason building and the entrance arch
at the intersection Of Capitol avenue. bur
this damage will all be repaired today. The
greatest loss occas.o ned hy the blowing
down OF the arch was the breaking OF q
lot Of ncandcscent bulbs that had already
been placed. The framework Of the arch
remained Intact and all the labor neces
sary TO replace Il will be simply 10 raise
It back to us former position.
