hiding, the orchestra. At the extreme 

 end of the hall a beautiful electrical and 

 tropical effect was arranged, showing 

 the moon and stars in a palm garden. At 

 the entrance to this hall and under the 

 gallery occupied by the grand master 

 was a gorgeous electrical sunburst. 



The approach to the ballroom, sepa- 

 rated from it by the building containing 

 the exhibits of the Commercial museum, 

 was striking. A space perhaps 300x500 

 feet reserved for parking motor cars 

 \yas made like day by five great flood 

 lights. Above this space, on the main 

 entrance to the exhibit building, through 

 which the guests must pass to the ball- 

 room, was the figjire of a mounted 

 knight. This figure was of -heroic size, 

 fully twelve feet high. It was power- 

 fully brought out by the lights. On 

 either side, over the entrances to the 

 right and left, were the Maltese cross 

 and the crown in electricity. 



One of the most unique features of 

 the decoration was the rendezvous. A 

 grass plot outside, 100x240 feet, was 

 bordered by forty-eight posts, each ten 

 feet high, formed of upright 3x4 's, cov- 

 ered. These forty-eight posts repre- 

 sented the forty-eight states. Each post 

 Was decorated with the black and white 

 colors of the Templars and the red, white 

 and blue colors of the nation. The mid- 

 dle color on each contained the name of 

 tlie state that it represented. All the 

 forty-eight posts were connected with a 

 <^i'iitral post, forty-five feet high, by 

 electric lights strung on wires. An 

 immense number of lights were used. 

 Around each post were garden benches 

 •I'ld seats, the idea being that those 

 who were tired of dancing could go 

 outside in the cool evening air and chat 

 \vith their friends at their own state 

 ''padquarters. 



J- J. Habrrmehl 's Sons were highly 

 complimented on this decoration.

The Market. 



Conditions are not nearly so satis- 

 factory as they were a week ago. The 

 principal cause has been the strike of 

 1,400 of Boston's policemen and a night 

 of hoodlumism September 9. While 

 troops were called in to protect the city 

 the following day, a fear of recurring 

 violence has kept buyers away from the 

 retail stores and seriously harmed busi- 

 ness. Roses have declined in price and 

 ihe bulk sell at from $2 to $12 per hun- 

 <lred. With the last week constantly 

 wet, stock came in soft, and where 

 growers, from a false idea of economy, 

 failed to turn on some steam to counter- 

 act the dampness, mildew has made its 

 appearance. Carnations are coming in 

 quite freely, but as yet are of inferior
