When Mr.. Ellyson had concluded,
Governor Lee was introduced, and COM
ins 10 the front OF the platform spoke in
substance as follows
Ladies and Gelilemen Two hundred
and eirhiy-one years ago our beautiful
river for The first time proudly bore upon
its bright bosom vessels many times larger
than ever seen upon it before. The Dis
coyery, the Good Speed and the Susan
Constant-one of twenty, one OF forty
and one Of one hundred tons-had ar
rived safely from London, and their
anchors were let 60 near the shores OF
the island, which, in honor Of their King,
was called Jamestown
The one hundred and five passengers
whose feet touched the new land, and
who had so sorrowfully crossed the
storm tossed pillows, marked the event
by calling the peaceful river, rolling so
msjesticaily by, james river; and then
and there wrote the first line Of the first
chapter OF the first volume OF Virginia's
history.

ed the need of "A e court house, but
