Rho climate condition few Days hindered the merely their decorative plans and caused considerable uncertainty indeed it seemed that Winnipeg would make a poor showing in this direction but yesterday morning the changed weather conditions dispelled those fears and Post haste was visible on All sides in the Endeavor to Mak attractive displays. I under Ordinary circumstances Winnipeg would deserve congratulation on foe result of the patriotic display made by her merchants but when it is considered under what difficulties they Laboured no Praise is too High. The second change in rho Royal programme which again rendered possible an electric display was made in the eleventh hour. But there Wens nevertheless very effective electrical displays in the evening from Many of the most important building and had the electricians not cancelled their contracts for lamps making them unobtainable Many others would have followed suit. The Arche. The triumphal Arches which form the. Most imposing features of the. Heme of decoration Are five in number. Two of them Span main Street one a Little South of the o. P. It. Station and the other at the Bend of the Road Between the City Hall and the Post Poth of these were erected by i he City. They Are in one notable particular a departure from the generality of such structures. The Council desired to emphasize the fact that agriculture is the Staple Industry Manitoba and that its wheat is the finest grown Iii the world. No More forcible or Mote Happy demonstration of these truths could be desired than a glance at either of the civic Arches. While one of them is picturesque and the other stately in its de sign it is not its proportions or its s. Y in. That attracts Cho beholder when first glancing at it. It is the material of which each is composed. Both Are of the past ��?1888. On the Rorres Reding town s in the right is another sheaf Many to the Rosin House of pc Hon.
