THE UNIVERSITY

The 165th anniversary OF the birthday
of Thomas J, ferson, and the eighty
ninth Anniversary Of the foundation oil
the University of Virginia, was cele-
brated at that institution yesterday, the
chief address being delivered by the
British Ambassador, Hon. James Bryce.
The attendance was, prehsps, the
largest since the Inauguration of Presi-
dent Alderman. April J3, 1905. Mr..
Bryce WAS introduced By President Al
derman, who incidentally referred t. the
tact that Tarleton's solder chased the
general assembly of Virgins from
Charlottesville and caused Mr. Jefferson
himself TO leave Monticello hastily.
Mr.. Bryce In part said:
mo one can stand here without
thinking much and Sishing 20 say much
about Thomas Jefferson, the founder of
this famous univeniy, and, next to
George Washington, one of the two or
three most remarkable men that Vir-
GINA has given TO the United S ates and
TO the world. Yet must refrain from
attempting to describe bis striking per-
sOnality.
"This at least may be said as a mat
ter of universal agreement. Jefferson
was msn Ct a wonderfully vigorous
and maDysided mind-a man of iUfiuile
curiosity and ih6uite activity. Scarce
ly subject of inquiry lsy outside Of
the range Of his versatile intellect.
"Whe'ber you like him or net, you
cannot help being attracted by him.
Whether you think his influence on
America wholesome or pernicious, you
must admit that Influence to have been
pervadiDg aud permanent How far it
is still really effective Influence, amid
circumstances so unlike those which sur
rounded him, l will not attempt 10 de-
termine.
"His writings are no longer widely
read: his name is more on the lips than
are his ideas in the collection OF those
who claim to be his disciples. But that
men should still call themselves bis dis
ciples and should nearly a century after
his death claim TO be maintaining his
traditions is q remarkable tribute to his
gifts-s remarkable evidence of the power
he exerted OIL his contemporaries"

admirable class of swine. | judged
the Jerseys, the swine and the horses
on Monday. The Jerseys we're very
creditable and so were the swine, but
the horses were few.
II l lived here more than a few
weeks each year l would propose the
establishment of a district fair at
Ocala. There is pedigreed stock
enough in the county for a good fOun-
datiOn, and | am sure the agricultural
products and citrus fruits could be as
sembled in an impressive exhibit. If
the adjacent counties would join in a
district fair, / am sure it would be an
astonishing success.
But you know the feeling of north

presumptuous enough to fall into that
mistake, only a fellow can't help
thinking his thoughts, can Re?

WHO KILLED COCK ROBIN?
