On account of the death of Patrick Murray, the veteran hackman, the car- riage arrangements have been turned over to Mr. Kirk. The system of tak- ing carriages to and from the concert, germans and Prom. will remain the same as under Mr. Murray’s manage- ment. As usual, the Prom. will he held in the Armory on Meadow street. Last year a new floor was laid which, when polished, proved a better dancing sur- face than that afforded in previous years by covering the floor with crash or canvas. This year the floor will be Price, thoroughly cleaned and waxed, and ~ shouldbe in even better condition than last year. THE DECORATIONS AT THE PROM. Koster of New York has had charge this year of the interior decoration of the Armory. The prevailing colors he has chosen to use are Turkey red and white. The ceiling will be festooned with light blue. Combinations of the ‘red and white will cover the walls and will be brought into contrast by black and gold Japanese hangings so ar- ranged as to form alternating panels. Smilax will be used to cover the girdérs which support the roof and for the floral trimmings in general. _Banks of palms and both cut and potted flow- ers will be used for decorations at the entrance, stairways and background. All the floral decorations will be fur- nished by Champion of New Haven. The supper arrangements are to be in the hands of Maresi of New York. As usual, there will be eighteen regu- lar dances, eighteen intermissions and five extras. The music for the Prom. will be furnished by Landers of New York. His orchestra will play the waltz music and his band will play for the two steps and in the intermissions. The dance orders for the ladies are white leather, having a blue and gold seal, with gold streamers on the front and the word “Yale” woven about a wooden spoon. The orders for the men are slightly smaller, of dark russet leather, with the same seal. Both con- tain the regular dances with composers and spaces for dances, intermissions and extras. NO FLOWERS. In the line of eliminating unnecessary expenses, the Ninety-Nine Committee has followed the lead of previous Prom. Committees in voting that flowers should not be sent to the young ladies. It is to be hoped that the men who attend the Prom. will abide by their decision, so that the custom may be well established. fil ae v——_-NEW YORK——BUFFALO—— STORES: W ASHINGTON———PITTSBU RG—— CLEVELAND D.
