Boston Transcript. The choice Of the
Canberra district of New South
Wales, as the site of the city, was
made by the commonwealth govern
ment in 1910, and the invitation to
architects embodying the conditions of
completion was issued April 80, 1911.
To give an idea of the magnitude Of
the task, 1t may be stated that the
requirements for the consideration Of
the designers included the ALLEGATION
of appropriate areas embracing sites
not only for the house OF parliament,
residence of the governor general and
the usual ministerial and administers
tive ffices, but places of public wor-
ship, mint, national art gallery and

OF various lengths were tied to the
animals tails and names. The fuses
were ignited and the frenzied animals
were then driven into the town at a
gallop. At first the federals thought
a charge OF cavalry was coming and
they were greatly mystiiled at seeing

Soon, however, the dynamite began
TO explode. but not until the horses
had reached the center Of the town
and were in touch with troops. Tho
