FLAGS AND BUNTING.
Arrangements for City Decorations. Christchurch will present a gay appearance for the visit of the Duke of Gloucester. According to present plans, nearly 3000 yards of red, white and blue bunting, and 200 to 300 flags, in addition to greenery, shields and ornamental arches, and festoons of coloured lights, will be used in the decoration of public buildings in the city. Some of the details of the general decorative scheme have still to be settled, but amongst the public buildings which will make a display when the Duke arrives are the City Council Chambers, the Post Office and the Government Buildings. Also, many business firms in different parts of the city have announced their intention of providing decorations of their own, to accord as far as possible with the general scheme. It is stated that most of the city picture theatres will have their fronts decorated in some manner.
A start on the erection of the public decorations will be made three or four days before the Duke’s arrival from Ashburton on January 19.
