Brilliant Lighting.

Another foretaste of the spIendors
 and novelty of the exposition was af-
 forded when the new lights which will
 illumine the exposition were turned
 on. There were ef1ly six of these, of
 the new nitrogen filled type, but when
 the switch sent the electric current
 shooting into their filaments, they
 made the eight big arc lights at the
 armory look pale by comparison and
 cast an illumination over the place
 that spread the light of day over every
 nook and eranay of the drill shed,
 and brought out the delicate pink
 which is the prevalent color of the
 draperies over walls and ceiling.
 Just a glance at the arnsory is
 enough now to prove that the Norwich
 Commercial Travellers are to make
 good on their promise to provide an
 exposition that in beauty of arrange
 ments and decorations would be diff ferent and far above anything that has been seen in this city.
 The ceiling and sidewalks at the ar
 fnory have been completely covered
 with the pink cloth, which will make a
 lovely soft and warm color scheme,
 paneled in light blue.
 The material used is all f1reproof It was put to the test by some of the curious on Thursday night and abso- lutely refused to burn, though of light f1imSy material like cheesecloth When
 a match was held under it for several
 minutes the most that it would do was to become black, but 1t could not
 be induced to blaze.
 Special Sign Painter. The special sign painter who comes with the Industrial Publicity company was at work at the armory on Thurs day, making the signs which will des-
 ignate the booths. They will be of a uniform design, white letters on a green background, conforming to the daintiness and attractfveness of the whole exposition plan.
