ing address:
Children of fair Italy-With a glad

pleasure of America to extead the hand
Of friendship to those whom fortune has
led to select this as their adopted coun-
try. 1t is a BEAUTIFUL custom Of the sons
and daughters Of Italy to come together
ir the bright spring tine and rekindle
sweet memories of their own Italian
skies. Ungrsteful would that son be
who to oblivion would consign the dear
recollectious of the land Of his birth.
Italy, inssmuch as il was the mother
country Of Columbus, has a peculiar
claim upon the affections Of all Ameri.
cans and Of the entire civilized world;
tor, by the great discovery he made,
suffering was relieved, science advanced,
commerce improved and extended, while
liberty and civilization found a congo.

it is my pleasing duty TO give expression
this bright day to these cherished senti.
ments: That each returning year may
bring to US anew these glorious memo
ries aud precious privileges are the
warm breathings from the heart of the
Goddess of Liberty.
Miss Kate Monteverde, who represent
ed the Goddess of Liberty, is only
twelve years of age. She was graceful
and her speech, though short, was the
embodiment of excellent thought and
appropriate sentiment. No one of her

of a literary disposition and devotes
