the traffic Of last Saturday. Sunday and
Labor Day exceeded all previous records.
Mr.. Whalcy was not ready 70 give the
exact statistics yesterday. but enough
figures had reached him TO show that
new record had been established.
One thing that puzzled the terminal
manager was the eight hundred pieces or
baggase that came In from Bar Harbor
Monday night. This meant, he said that
the owners Of the baggage had cut their
usual stay at the Maine resort about two
days short. The only explanation he
could venture was that the dreary. rainy
weather had caused a sudden change In
the plans OF the Bar Harbor folk.
The rush over the Central lines started
Friday afternoon. and was stu In fun
swing late last night. Practically all the
outbound through trains on Friday and
Saturday were run in two or even three
sections. each section having ten cars.
Tho heavy inbound travel began Sunday
and continued through Monday and yes

sections and specials To arrive at tho
terminal between $50 a. m. and noon yes

CITY WILL SHINE
WITH DECORATIONS
Commercial Club TO Make
Occasion Of Irrigation Con-
gress Memorable.
SPECIALISTS ENGAGED
Streets, Halls and Business
Houses Will Be Beautified
When Delegates Arrive,
SPECIALISTS ENGAGED

An elaborate scheme of decoration
September 80 TO October i. 1912, Is TO
be arranged by the Commercial club
decoration committee.
Yesterday afternoon this committee
held a meeting at the club and DIVIDED
the work into four sections, in order
that a splendid scheme may re evolved
which will put the city in elaborate
gala attire for the big event
Dressing of private and business
houses has been given over TO the
charge of o. j. Salisbury, who will de
vise the finest programme that his
genius can invent in this line
Decoration of the convention hall Is
to be planned bv DR.. G.. +, Carter, and
il is expected that his capable mind
will produce a scheme that will be at
once beautiful and highly appropriate
to the occasion.
Special historical and allie gorical en-
bellishmepts will be looked after by
VI. l.. A. Culmer, whose artistic taste
and broad knowledge of western his
tory will suggest wide scope in his
Decorative arches and the general
scheme of street array of q wholly pub
lie character will be under the direc
tion of Frederick Steigmeyer, who is
given free rein to originate plan OF
the highest credit to the city.
These department heads are to re-
port to the decoration committee of the
club, Oscar L. Cox, chair
man. which will render to the congress
board of control an estimate of the
cost of the entire scheme.
It is intended to dxess the city in
eavest color for the congress, and to
execute a plan of electric lighting that
shall render the main thoroughfares of
the town as dazzling streams of light
At the time of the Pioneer jubilee IN
the week of July "a, 1897, the city was
probably better decorated than at any
other time in its history, but for tho
irrigation congress even that occasion
is to be surpassed in its decorative bril-
liancy and gala attractiveness.
