Guards Asa and Peter Parker saw their comrade's predicament and launched the lifeboat, reaching Williamson's side Just as he was sinking for the last time. He was revived with some difficulty.

PLANS FOR VISITORS' PLEASURE Director Klee Well Pleased With the Work of the Local Societies at Rehearsal. Arrangements fir the Saengerfest have been completed and everything Is in readiness for the entertainment of the delegates to-day. Ail day yesterday crowds of people passed and repassed the great edifice at Eleventh and York streets, watching the workmen as they put the finishing touches on the decorations.

1 The outside of the building is almost as elaborately decorated as the Interior. From the roof are displayed the flags of all nations waving amicably together in the same breeze. Conspicuous among them Is the new standard of Cuba. Two cordons of cedar trees surround the walls, and at the entrance, on York street, there is a profuse display of flowers and greenery. On the wall of the corridor in full view of all who enter.

Is a life-size picture representing the "Heavenly Muse," hung about with garlands. A Striking Interior. The Interior view is striking, both In its Immensity and In its superb decorations. Huge streamers of yellow and white bunting focusing in three large rosettes in the centre of the celling, completely hide tbe rafters and create a soft, pleasant overhead effect. Around the tops of the pillars, which are covered with white cloth, are whidestrips of yellow and red, white and blue bunting, forming a background for the flags of the various countries.

Cedar cordons about the walls and extensive window decorations of palms relieve the monotony of the bunting and add materially to the general effect. Ciilt wreaths and musical insignia in gilt and fresco are scattered here and there about tbe walls. In the rear of the hall Is a small aleo, draped In white. In which stands, on huge pedestal, the clay model of the Mozart bust, to be given as the first prize for federated chorus singing. Singers Rehearse Successfully.

The rehearsal of the orchestra and mixed chorus for this evening's programme was held yesterday morning in the hall. The chorus numbered male and (ion female voices and the orchestra contained nearly 100 pieces, directed by Eugene Klce. It was conclusively proven that the acoustic properties of the hall had not been overestimated and that a chorus of 1,800 or 2.OU0, however unwieldy it may seem, can, under skilful direction, be trained to sing with a power almost Incredible and at the same time In perfect unison and with expression. The entire programme faultlessly rendered, but Director Klee expressed himself as especially well pleased with the rendition of Jadassohn's "Forgiveness," which is the most difficult number on the programme.
