owner, have a bamboo pole attached to the for-
owner
part of the vessel. This pole should be fifteen or twenty feet in height above the deck and be furnished with one or more yardarms, These could then be effectually illuminated according to the fancy of the and could be connected with the stern pole by strings of lanterns or decorated in a variety of ways that it is unnecessary to particularise. The width of the yardarms should not be greater than the width of the vessel,
The rows of boats forming the line of route will be decorated with either red or white lanterns, according to a design which has been exhibited to the launch owners. The bonts in the harbour will also be decorated with the same colours,
Seeing that, if the processional launches were also decorated in the same manuer, a risk would be incurred of a too uniform style of decora- tion, any launch owner who unaware of this arrangement had been proposing to use these colours may if he cares to do so obtain from Mr. Wodehouse lanterns of a different style of colour in exchange for an equivalent number of red or white lanterns. Mr. Wodehouse will be happy to receive applica- tions of this kind up to the 18th June. He will also be glad to supply rockets and lights at their cost price. As, however, their number is limited early applications are recom- mended.
It will be remembered that each launch is desired to be furnished with a few such lights at least, for participation in the closing ceremony of the entertainment.
It is necessary to state that Mr. Wodehouse is not concerned with the illuminations on shore. The Jubilee Committee have invited the com- munity generally to illuminate, and it is presumed that their invitation will receive the same cordial reception that has been accorded to similar invitations on past occasions, but Mr. Wode- house has no personal knowledge of what is being done except that the Government have ordered the illumination of certain public buildings. It is certain that the line of Praya will be brilliantly illuminated and it is hoped that the colony will make an effective display.

The Messageries Maritimes mail steamer, the German mail steamer from Japan, and the Canadian Pacific mail steamer will all be in harbour on the 22nd June.
On behalf of the German mail steamship Messrs. Melchers & Co. have announced the intention of the Captain to take part in the illuminations of the harbour.
We are requested to state that a day re hearsal of the procession will take place under the command of Captain Ramsey, R.N., on Saturday, 12th June, at 5
p.m. All launches are requested to attend and to rendezvous in the neighbourhood of Jardine's Wharf.
