This service brought the formal pro-
gram arranged by the committee 10 a
close. but II did not by any means bring
10 an end the celebration. That was con-
tinued till quite a late hour In the eve-
ming and IL consisted OF family parties
throughout the Woodlawn section,
through the streets OF which wandered
thousands OF citizens OF Pawtucket and
the surrounding towns admiring the
beautiful decorations and Nominations
These latter were something unusually
elaborate I'm effect
THE DECORATIONS.
The decorations. both for the day and
also the evening were on a scale such as
mas seldom before been attempted i'm this
city. There was scarcely a house In the
Woodlawn section which did not show
some bit OF bright color and many OF the
residences were very beautiful. The de-
signs were I'm some cases very elaborate
and proved source OF admiration for
all who saw them
Along the route OF march there were
four beautifully designed arches The
hrst OF these was on Harrison street op-
FvSi'' lI' Sls Jean ndll. IN the
upper part OF this was an opening and
here was a tableaux representing the
landing OF jacques Cartier at Quebec.
The arch was made OF evergreen, beauti-
fully trimmed with flags and bunting In
festoons, the whole producing a very
pleasing effect
The second arch was al the corner OF
Slater and Capital streets. In the CEN
ter was dome OF evergreen. within

ringing as the procession passed through.
The next arch was on Quincy avenue and
beside IL standing on the fence which
surrounds the parochial school were a
large number of little girls dressed In
white with blue sashes and carrying flags.
The last arch was located In front OF
the parochial residence This was un-
trimmed except for one or two white
streamers bearing inscriptions in French.
The decorations at the church are wor-
thy OF special mention. for they consti-
tuted a feature OF the celebration. The
exterior bore long streamers stretched
from nearly the top OF the two high
spires TO the ground and there were also
several shields and festoons OF flags
Within these were long streamers OF red.
white and blue bunting over the main
body OF the church while over the altar
were streamers Of blue, the color being

There were many other buildings where
the decorations were handsome and elab-
crate. but to attempt any detailed de-
scription of these would be almost i'm
possible and II would also be a compari-
son which under the circumstances where
everyone did so well would hardly be JUS
titled One feature OF the evenings IL
might be mentioned and that
was the big electric cross on the front
OF the parochal residence. which was
lighted till quite a late hour I'm the
evening and attracted very general at
tention.

which were under the supervision OF
Capt. Vananda. were carefully carried

SERVICE IN A TENT.
The regular Sunday afternoon service OF
the Young Mems Christian association
was held yesterday afternoon In a tent on
an open lot adjoining Olive street Rev.
Eric Lindhl, pastor OF the Smithfield Con-
church was the speaker and
the service was quite largely attended al
though the exercises In connection with
the celebration OF st. Johns day at Wood
lawn effected this somewhat.
The Sunday afternoon services will be
held at this place for the next few Sun
days and interesting speakers have been
engaged for all OF them
WILL HOLD REUNION.
There are in this city number OF men
who I'm 1898 enlisted with Battery Il,
Light Artillery and spent the entire sum
mer or tnat year at the state camp
ground at Quonset Point expecting every
day to receive orders TO go to the front.
The close OF the war prevented this bat
terry from seeing service, but the members
will never forget the experiences which
were theirs during the long hot days OF
that summer Some time ago meeting
was called OF the men who composed the
and at that time a permanent or
ganization was formed with Capt. Harry
Wolcott at the head. Arrangements have
been made for the annual reunion OF the

wharf at the foot OF Planet street In
at 10 o'clock and there take n
boat for sail down the bay. The commit

stop at one OF the shore resorts on the bay

believed that all OF the members who can
do so will be on hand to renew
old friendships and TO talk over the
when they wore the uniform OF
