the week frerjuently for even longer Ijoriods. Already it is predieted that the crowd which will gather in thi.s city for tomorrow celebration will outnumber even the immense gathering that Boston wek'omed on Dowey day a few' ye.ars ago. With the coming advent of Christian Scientists as well as the school convention, It is expected to bo a very difflcuit proposition after today to secure suitable aecommodation.s in this city. Every lodging house in Boston Is sure to reaf) Its harvest and rates are bound to mount skyward. Meantime the quarters of the Hooker Day committee at the State House are be.sieged from morning until night by eager applicant.s for tickets.

Early yt'slerday a large sign was placed w'lthout the door stating that every seat for the State House stand has been long since taken. This has had but little effect upon the seekers, most of whO'm, though, are disabled veterans or their relatives. For these a few tlcket.s for the PostofTice square stand are still held in rese'Tve, and while there has been already considerable grumbling over the apparent scarcity of the State House admissions, the veterans have generally accepted the seats for the s(iuare stand. It looks as though the disabled (L A. R.

vets now realize that all further on their part to be allowed to ride in the are useless. Captain Gragg 1.S firm in his purpose to keep the length of this parade to the. lea.st unwieldy limits. The disgruntled veterans are now beginning to appreciate the fact that the secretary means just what ho says and that hereafter all is One of the most pleasing features of Thursday's will be the exhibition of General old colors, wlilcb are to be carried by a special color guard from the artillery corps. These old colors, tattered and torn, but no doubt far more preciflus in the eyes of each grizzled veteran than the new'cst or most costly of standards, were originally bnrne by the I''lrst United State.s Artillery, of which regiment was adjutant at the outbreak of the Mexican war.

When the Hooker day celebration was first conceived, its projectors immediately took formal steps to secure the old colors for parade, but for a time the Secretary of War was not at all certain that he could allow them to be taken here. Yesterday, however, Lieutenant-Governor Guild received notice from Colonel John H. Tiernan, A. U. S.

commanding the artillery district of Boston, that the glorious old colors will make their appearance in the parade. The Seventy-seventh Gompany, Coast Artillery, First Lieutenant Richard II. Williams commanding, will carry them in the parade. These flags are among the oldest in the pos.session of the government of the standards carried by the artillery. They have always been kept in the museum at Fortress Monroe.

Of those who fought with and still survive General Hooker, Captain Gragg yesterday stated that he has the names and addresses of over 1200 men. Just 300 of these survivors will march past their old statue tomorrow. All over the city the decorations are blossoming. 'Most beautiful, of course, are those at the State House, where the old Bulfinch front Is almost entirely concealed by the genorouis draperies of flags and bunting. Every cornice, every pillar, every balu.strade is brignt with festoons of red, white and blue, and seen from a short distance, especially above the graceful trees of the Common, the effect is indescribably beautiful.

Yesterday the carpenters and decorators were hard at work on old City Hc.ll. By Jiightfall the stand had been partly erected, but the draperies have only lie- gun to hint at the showing this old gray pile will make on Thursday. By a happy thought, however, the word in red and white was finished first. Hanging above the entrance to the hall, it seems typical of the general spirit of the Hub. Many of the hotels and business houses have already donned their gala decorations and flags are flying everywhere.

I'earl street and lAYstoflice particularly are fairly glowing with the national colors. Late today, after the review by General Sickles at Framingham, those of the offlcer.s and troops who are to take part in events will begin to make their movement toward this city. At the same time, very likely, the mounted troops which are now on their way here from Fort Ethan Allen in Vermont will begin their bivouac in Brighton. The site for their encampment has already been prepared on a large vacant lot of land very close to the Allston station of the Boston Albany railroad. This place i.s known and through the courtesy of Fire Commissioner Russell, who has tendered the loan of 300 feet of hose, the soldiers will be amply provided Avith pure water at least.

The four infantry companies that are coming from Madison New York, win be quartered in the South armory, where there Is every facility for their comfort. The State will provide them Avlth mattresses. All the regular troops, excepting those from the fort.s In the harbor, will arrive In Boston at about 4 today. They will be met by members of the staff and escorted to their quarter.s. Yesterday Surgeon-General Blood i.s- sued the following circular announcing the arrangement.a for the sanitary care of the troops on Hooker day: During the parade the following first aid statlon-s will be established along the line of march at points close to the halting places: Station 1.

near West Newton and Tremont streets; 2, near High and Pearl streets; 3, near Beacon and Somerset These will be indicated by Red Cro.s.s flags. Sanitary teiit.s will be pitched at various places.

Among the tlioiisands of visitors in Boston today who have come expressly to attend the Hooker celebration tomorrow there are many perhaps who may be at a loss to know Just Avhat to see in the Hub and how best to go about seeing it. T'or the help of such the Avould suggest the following: The first place and the one naturally the Mecca for Boston Ausitora is old I'hineull Hall, the of situated In Dock square, but a short di.s- tarice from Adams square.

Beneath the shadoAv of the church and at the summit of Hull street hill is Hill burying ground, the oldest in Boston. A British battery was planted here during the battle of Bunker Hill.
