r3rd., 'tTha City of Wilmington" was re-
sponded to BY Mayor, WhiteleJ, as follows /:
''Mr. President, had not expected to de-,
liver speech and am hardly prepared to
make one but l am prepared to say this !:
there is not within our borders, any trade
with 20 much capital invested as that of the
Morocco trade, and 1t amounts annually to
not less than $2OO, 1000. In thinking of
to say on this occasion, hap
pened to be reminded, gentlemen, Of the
antiquity of your business. Why, do you
know, that the Bible is full Of the history
of goats and goat skins; that the first mo-
rocco dresser was female and now to
show this, we will. just recall the story of
Jacob and Esau. You remember how, when
their father, Isaac was become old and blind,
he said one day to Esau that as he was tired
of go much goat meat, wouldn't he (youknow
Esau was almighty hunter take his bow
and 20 and get his father some venison, and
g hen J" be added, + thou wilt receive my
Esau did as his father bade
him. But behold, Rehecca, the mother,
went and called, Jacob and ssaids;4e" Thy
father has sent thy brother to procure veni-
son for him., that he might give him the
blessing. Do thou go and kill kids, and
T will make savory meat for thy father, and
thou mayest carry it to him and receive the
bles sing instead of Esau," and when JACOB
said ~ ',Peradventure, my brother fs hairy
man, and am q smooth one y how will l
answer my father should he discover me 2"
Then Rebecca replied, 4" Bring the kids,
and will fix that all right. We can easily
fool the old man." Now Jacob did as his
mother commanded and when he had
dressed the kids, the old woman, took the
skins, placed them upon his hands, on the
back Of his neck, and disguised him as a
hairy man like Esau and this is perhaps the
first dressing of morocco recorded in histo-
ry.v Mayor Whitley continued in q
happy vein for few moments, and
concluded by saying: ~ am glad to see
such a gathering. believe the morocco
interests are established on secure basis"
