word set them cheering.

by tacltly admitting that 1t was true
that he wanted the people Of Califor-
MIA to have the exposition.
When the President finished speak
ing the Golden spade with which he
was to turn the earth was handed
him. He walked down from the plat
form to the hillside and with his smile
at its broadest set his substantial foot
upon the spade. The hillside tiptoed

into the ground. He lifted the shovel
full of earth before the crowd and
they took up their cheering with re-

in a silver and gcld-mounted case.
A soldier handed the President the
halyards of the exposition flag. The
hand struck up the StarSpangled
Banner. Madame Nordlca stepped for
ward on the platform and led the
crowd in the singing. The President
halted. hat over hand and the banner
Of San Franciscos hope for 1915 was
run to the masthead.
