the lavish accompaniments arranged
for the opening doubly brilliant. The
men who crowded the rooms of the cluo

brothers in a good cause and ready to
fight for the improvement of civic af-

refreshments appear tame and com
monplace.

much speaking. No formal program
was prepared and no set speeches were
INDUCED in with the idea of outlining
the destiny of nations. But each one
