The weather could not have been
more delightful. The decorators did
their work thoroughly and when the
sun rose it shone upon a village re-
spleRdent with color. Most all the
public buildings and many of the pri-

and bunting. The most effective dec
grafton was along the road leading

Here at a distance of every hundred
feet were hung large United States
flags, which formed a canopy of stars
and stripes under which the people
rode on their way TO Sycamore hill.

secret service men and policemen from
New York in plain clothes were on
the porch and about the grounds. No

umbrellas, and in many cases over
coats and women's wraps. were taken
from their owners and piled up under
a tree near the porch.
