at the exposition was formally turned
over to the authorities and public Sat-

place in the presence of the embassy and
consular officials, number of high French
functionaries, foreign diplomats and COM
missioners, and such concourse of Am
erican citizens that many who were pro-
vided with tickets were unable to gain
admittance to the building. French mu-
nicipal guards and policemen formed a
Gordon around the building, keeping the
space in front of the main entrance, on
the embankment of the Sein, free for the
passage of the official party. The bal
comics were occupied exclusively by in
vited guests, while on the floor of the
building double line of American guards
with white summer helmets formed an
aisle through which the official party
passed from the main entrance to the spot
where the presentation took place. The
ceremony of transferring the pavilion was
quite simple, consisting of an address
by Ferd w. Peck, commissioner of the
United States, handing over the pavilion
to M. Alfred Picard, assistant commits
sioner general of the exposition, and the
latter's response. No time was lost in
proceeding with the ceremony, Mr.. Peck
delivering his address and M. Picard ne.
plying in a brief but eloquent address
which evoked enthusiastic hurrahs from
the audience.
