Angelo, all men may bow to art.
The art works upon which we gaze
today speak universal language and
impart lasting pleasure to all. They
appeal to ouI highest senses and awake
our nobleSt emotions. They are an
eternal benediction. They induce the
power of reflection and inspire us with
the majesty of the creative faculty.
They cause US to realize more fully than
ever before Lytton'S definition OF art:
Tie effort OF man to express the ideas
suggested TO him by nature, of power
above nature. whether that power lie
within the receSSeS of his own being or
in that great first power of which nature

minutes before he had an opportunity

the most Interesting as well as impor-
tant incidents of this mammoth and
marvellous exhibition has been the cele-
brationS, national, state and civic.
While the governments of Europe are
imposing additional burdens upon al
ready overburdened peoples to increase
their military and navy forces; while
all the world outside of the United
States is either an armed camp
or engaged in active hOstilities,
these emulous and friendly meetings of
conflicting races within these walls
demonstrate the possibilities and illus
trate the hopes OF the world for civiliZa-
ton and peace. Great Britain and Rus
STA, Germany and France, Italy and
Austria, may, through their governors
and their armies and navies, be pre-

the Atlantic, but on this side, and with

habitable globe. must result in nobler
aspirations and greater efforts for the
friendship of nations and the harmony
of the world.
Our interests as a republic have been
especially concentrated in the celebra-

Carolina, or any of the newer sisters of
the West, have done their best. the eX-

and joy through the Empire state of
New York. 1t has been pride and joy
shared by all states when each one mas
demonstrated its. claims for distinction,
and exhibited its growth. The lesson
has been enforced over and over again,
until it has become the morning and
