ENGLISH LANDED
300 YEARS AGO
continued from Pace 1,


The infantrymen. in open file, covered
the entire course OF the presidents
drive from the shore front to the place
of the inaugural ceremonies. The CEN
ter box on the grand stand was as
signed to the president and his family.
Gold lace giittered everywhere, and
from the sombre blue of the American
naval officers to the dazzling red of
some of the German attaches the colors
flashed in kaleidoscope riot. Large
delegations from the foreign and Amer
lean ships were banked in a solid
square just back of the president, while
to right and left were the governors of
many states, surrounded by their stats
United States senator's and representa-
tives also were there.
Opening Ceremonies Brief.
The ceremonies were brief, the fea-
ture being the addresses of President
Tucker of the exposition and President
Roosevelt. The latter, at the conclu-
sion of his address, pressed the gold
button which formally marked the
opening of the commemorative enter
prise. Then followed an informal
luncheon to the president and for the
other guests in the administration
building. The president later reviewed
a parade of United States soldiers and
sailors. Seamen from the visiting
fleets were expected to take part in
the parade. but the difficulty of land
ing on the uncompleted grounds pre-
vented. The parade was quickly over
and reception by the president in the
Auditorium brought the days events
at the fair grounds to close. Admis-
sion to the reception was by card. but
after the president had shaken hands
with the invited guests, the doors were
thrown open for time to the general
public. The president stood in line for
more than an hour.
Entertained at Dinner.
Tonight President and Mrs. Roose-
welt were guests of honor at dinner
given by President Tucker.
The other dinner guests included
Rear Admiral Robley D. Evans, Gen
dents cabinet who attended the me-
mortal ceremonies. Governor Swanson
of Virginia and several of the EXPOSE
ton officials.
AT 10 o'clock tonight the president re-
turned TO the Sylph and the yacht
slipped down the bay ready to proceed
early tomorrow to the old Jamestown
settlement up the James river. The
presidents trip tomorrow will be pri-
vate.
During the presidents address today,
after he had asked all present to put
on their hats in view of the intense
heat of the sun. the French ambassa-
dor, Mr.. Jusserand. was apparently
loath to comply with the request. The
president turned to him and, shaking
a warning finger. said:
mfr. Jusserand, put on your hat right
away. I won't have you suffer sun
stroke
The ambassador complied.
The presidents address apparently
pleased his hearers. Speaking of the
recent peace conference in New York,
he proclaimed again that he regarded
and peace as virtues that
must ever 90 hand in hand. This caused
prolonged cheering. The president de-
clared II the time should ever come
when the world must choose between
and peace, shame would
be upon those who chose the latter at
the cost of the former. Hearty laugh
ter greeted the presidents remark that
the Bible contained good sound read
ms" that would not be out of place Fin
a peace conference"
And ! want to say right here" went
on the president, enthusiastically. that
hattleships are mighty good peace
makers"
