that there be n competition Of poets ut tho Chi
cago Fair for the purpose OF producing an
American national hymn. and then a COMPETE
ton OF musicians to set it to music. National
hymns worth anything are not likely to be pro-
duced to order. and the amount Of trash that
would be written to no particular OF some
very common metre. IL tho verse makers
were let loose upon u national hymn. would
make the insane asylums put up notices Of

which might be called American national
hymns are OF foreign origin or full OF foreign
