| Summary: | arch n Widespread custom in Nfld to build ceremonial arches to mark public occasions. In St. John's and other larger centres arches were usually made of barrels, fish-drums, puncheons, etc. piled on top of one another and elaborately decorated with boughs and buting (see con- temporary prints of arrival in St. John's of members of the Royal Family). In the outports, arches were usually less elaborate: rounded frames with spruce boughs woven into the structure.
