Foreign governments were soundsJo7n
by Harry ST. George Tucker before he
became president OF the exposition In ~
succession TO the late General Fitz-y
Hugh Lee, and favorable responses r.,
were received from many OF themrr
Having made such start in arousnE o.,
international interest and having fol-
lowed this up In the more material
success OF getting nearly n million and
half dollars from congress, the pro-
moters OF the jamestown tcrcentenary
have entered upon the last year OF
preparation very ausplClously.
The exposition Is to open on May 81,
1907. Although little more than ten
months remain for the realization OF
the project, as usual no apprehension
Is felt on the score of possible delay.
As soon as Secretary Edwards and
Architect Taylor return from their tour
OF inspection the latter will put his
craftsman to work, and the plans will
be evolved
