the ages down to Columbia. appeared
before Minerva and presented their
various claims to the honor of being
with the wreath of fame.

to appear was Miss Grace Gallet, in
the character of Columbia, the Gem of
the Ocean, Goddess of Liberty, upon
whose brow Minerva placed the laurel
wreath amid the plaudits of the au-
dience.
