JAMESTOWN EXPOSITION
NOTES

The closing week of the Exposition
was one of enthusiasm. The last three
days Of the week the attendance was
greatly augmented, ThanksgivingDay be-
ing by far the greatest of them all, on
which day there were present in the
Negro Building three thousand.
The three days conference III the Ne
gro Building was perhaps the most in
in the building, not alone because of the
enthusiasm displayed by the speakers,
and the general interest taken by all,
but it was inspiring to Sc the old fathers
and mothers who were present in the
audience rise to give actual experiences
Of hard-pressed conditions during the
days Of servitude, and then to contrast
those conditions with what they gather
ed from the exhibits in the NegroBuild-
ing.
Though the days of the conference
were cold, yet number came out to
witness the exercises, the question Of
discussion being The Past Present and
Future Conditions of the Negro" The
priCnipal speakers were Major r. R.
Motion, of Hampton Institute; Bishop
4. Walters, Prof r. Kelser, Rev c.
H. Williamson, Lawyer T. c. Walker,
Prof c. H. Johnson, Wilberforce, Ohio !;
DR. J. 7. Jenifer, Baltimore, Md; c.
c. Spaulding, Durham, n. c.; Thomas
J. Galloway, Giles D. Jackson, and Will
lam Isaac Johnson. Old plantation songs
were rendered, as they were sung in
days of slavery, by members of the au-
dience The occasion was indeed one
which all enjoyed
Many have congratulated the manage
ment of the Negro Exhibit upon the
neat and clean appearance the Exhibit
presents after having been open to 50
many visitors. Most of the exhibits ap-
pear as free from dust as they did the
first day they were received.
At twelve o'clock Saturday night
/ President Tucker pressed the button,
putting out the electric lights and clos
ing the Exposition, reciting the advan-
tages that have come from the Expo
sition. and the chances for it reopening
next year.
The Executive Committee of the Ne
gro Exhibit met November 80 to form
ally close up all matters pertaining to
the exhibits. Chairman Galloway says,
No matter what the financial conditions
Of the Exposition as a whole are, the
Negro Exhibit will not fall into the
hands of receivers, and has sufficient
funds to reship the exhibits and meet all
demands"

In speaking of the papers submitted
to them for grading, DR. Walter c.
Price, the local member of the board,
who made out the examination, spoke
in the very highest terms to an Advocate
reporter of Mr.. Brownley's work. His
papers, he said, were neat we'll written
and showed a mastery of the theory and
practice of his profession possessed by
but few of those who have had many
more years of experience. One day was
devoted to the examination, beginning
at nine in the morning and ending about
FIVE in the afternoon, with short in
termission for lunch. Before each re-
cess DIR. Brownley was the first TO hand
in his papers, and this haste was per
haps responsible for his not having
made an even higher average.

merit the commendation of the people
The eulogy was delivered by Mr.. B. /.
