1,2O3 Lexing ton-aye., New-YOrk on the Panama
Canal. was considered so good by the judge that
a special prize has been awarded for it The
letter is follows.
If the Panama Canal is a success. as feel
1t will be now that the United States has
taken q hand in it. what a great event in
civilization it Will be. Just think Of the great
difference which Will be made in distance for
those ships which must either brave the fierce
storm of Cape Horn or take that long and sell
dom used route around Cape Agulhas. to reach
the Far Eastern lands as Japan. our own
islands, the Philippines
1t Will be great advantage to the trade and
commerce of the United States with South
America and many other lands. I think that il
will help to raise Uncle Sans prestige In the
opinions of other nations If he takes part In the
enterprise, for there is no country which carries
greater amount of commerce than the
United States. and if the Panama Canal is sue
ceSSful then our commerce will become greater
than ever Then. too, case we should ever
have another war the canal would save a great
deal of time for the war vessels / feel sure

He'll clap his hands and shout and sing
