REAL OPENING DAY
WAS THE OCCASION OF PREsi-
DENTS SECOND VISIT.
ROusEyELl's TIME WAS ALL TAKEN
Spoke in Georgia Ceremonies and Ad-
dressed the National Editorial
Association.

Exposition aGrounds, Norfolk, Va
The Jamestown exposition manage
ment has determined to look upon the
occasion OF President R~oosevelts sec
ond visit as the real opening. The
president lost no opportunity to voice
his approval of the showing made
since the backward opening of the K
position on April &c.
This was Georgia day and the open
ing of the Bulloch hall, a replica OF the
early home Of President Roosevelt's
mother. at Roswell, Ga, erected, and
the Georgia state building was the
feature that drew the president to the
exposition for a second visit.
From the time the President and
Mrs. Roosevelt and their distinguished
guests were landed at the government
pier at 1880 O'Clock until their de-
parture every minute was occupied.
The president spoke in the Georgia
ceremonies from the reviewing stand
and in the afternoon addressed the
convention of the National Editorial
association in the exposition audi
forum. On both occasions he was
given an enthusiastic welcome. He
visited the Georgia building, the New
York building and the negro exhibit
and in his drive over the grounds
thousands of people lined the streets
and gave him a continuous ovation.
The schedule arranged in advance was
followed to the letter and when the
Maytlower weighed anchor at S o'clock
and the party started on its return
trip to Washington an unusually
strenuous day was closed without in
cident of note having occurred. The
police arrangements for the handling
of the great crowd were excellent.
The naval review of the men-of-war
in Hampton roads and the reception
of the commanders Of American and
foreign vessels which preceded the
presidents arrival at the grounds and
the military review Of the Lee parade
followed the presidents forenoon adj
dress, which was similar to those,
events on the opening day, except for
some slight difference in the person
mel of the participants.
