 tions ever carried out in this vicinity, 

 was handled the past week by the 

 MacRorie-McLaren Co. It embraced 

 the decoration of Union Square in 

 honor of the convention of the Nation- 

 al Electric Light Association. .\ bank 

 of about 800 pink hydrangeas was 

 arranged around the base of the 

 Dewey monument, and the shaft of the 

 monument for fifteen feet above was 

 covered with eucalyptus studded with 

 jewels, such as are on the Tower of 

 Jewels at the exposition. With the 

 monument as a central figure, a classic 

 colonnade completed the scheme, each 

 column being surmounted by an urn of 

 hydrangeas and adorned with garlands 

 of oak.
