The Centennial Medal; presented to
the Pacific Coast Pioneers last Thurs
day night, by Governor Bradley, is of
silver, and just about the size and
weight of a silver dollar. One side
bears the inscriptions: I'm Commem-
Grafton of the Hundredth Anniversary
of American Independence" Sur
rounding this is the following: By
Authority OF the Congress of the
United States" The other side bears
the figure of Justice kneeling, sword
in hand, beneath the refulgent beams
of a galaxy of thirteen stars. Beneath
her are the figures 1916, and surround
ing the whole is the Inscription: The
United States are and of Right ought
to be Free and Independent States"

round? This is a conundrum for the
