Part of the time there were one hundred and fifty persons at work. The ladies of Springfield bore their full share in these arduous labors. I have been furnished with the following figures by a prominent citizen of this city who prepared some of the designs for decoration. I shall not attempt a de- scription of tlie ornamental work, but wnll give a few facts by Vv-hich some idea of their gorgeous beauty may be conveyed. About fifteen hundred yards of black and white goods were used in the decor...ation, exclusive of the catafalque. In its construction and decoration black cloth, black velvet, black, blue and white silk and crape, with silver stars and silver lace and fringe, were used in the greatest profusion. The canopy of the catafalque was made of velvet, festooned with satin and silver fringe. It was lined on the under side with blue silk, studded with silver stars. Three hundred yards of velvet and mourn- ing goods and three hundred yards of silver lace and fringe, besides a vast quantity of other materials, were used in its construction.
