(Cmtinued from First Page.

Ten buildings constructed of bamboo and Chinese mating and facing on the circle will provide dining accom- modations for 5000 men. Two large buildings, each capable of accommo- dating 1000 people, will serve as theatres. A large structure has been erected for an exhibition hall and bazaar, where Chinese made wares and curios may be exhibited and sold. Bordering on the circle nearly oppo- site the officers hall is a picturesque knoll, which will serve for the fire works display. This knoll has the ad- vantage of being visible from the sea, thus when the fireworks are being ex- hibited, the men on board the vessels in the harbor may see them from
 their ships. In the plan of decora- l tions, so far as possible, the American and Chinese colors only have been used

 will act as interpreters for the visiting 1 officers and men.
 Acting upon the suggestion of the American consul, Julean H. Arnold. the entertainment for the men will consist for the most part in a carnival of sports. Two handsome silver cups 1 to be made in Canton and costing ST. 250 each will be awarded as prizes to the ships winning the baseball and 1 football games. A telegram was sent ] to Admiral Sperry at Auckland re- questing that the preliminary games be played before arrival at Annoy, leaving the semi-finals and final for Annoy. To this request Admiral Sper- ry assented. Both races and other sports will also form part of the pro gram; for these prizes aggregating about $1,O00 will be awarded. Instead of presenting each visitor | with a medal or button as is custom ary on such occasions, Commissioner Mark has arranged to present each officer with a Chinese clOiscnnH vase and to each man 6 Chinese cloisonne cup.
 The program of entertainment. as at present planned, is as follows: Gt l being planned to entertain 5000 men ashore at one time.l
