DR.. Bingham's Address.
DR. Bingham said. in part: ut would

to do the work we have done in Peru /
ii had not been for the splendid assist

mcnt We discovered there in the jungle
white city. supposed by students to b'
one of the frontier posts of the 1ncas.
is city built of white granite, on precl
pices 1000 to 1900 feet high, north OF tn
old Inca capital Only the muleteerS hat
heard of it, and ii was not known of IL
Lima. We went back and spent four ant
half months there, and when we cleared
the tropical jungle we found a city o.
white houses there. containing palaces
temples baths and particularly stair
ways.
There were. perhaps, hundred oil
these stairways, built of white granite
some of them having 1000 steps, one De-
ing nearly half mile in length. IL was
also a city of windows, and one could
count sixty-five windows in one structure
We stumbled, we believe, on the nrs'
Inca capital and this was done through
the generosity of the National Geo
graphic Society.
Members of the society and their
guests seemed to realize. as Ambas-
sador Bryce pointed out. that the hand
ing of the gold medal to the discover
er of the south pole by the dlscoVerer
of the north pole was an occasion !
which had never happened before and
could never happen again. NotWltn-
standing all the merriment usually at
tendant upon banquet, there Wele
occasionally moments of solemh1ty as
the sneakers alluded to the deeds Oh
bygone explorers.
Chinese Jujubes Served.
one of the jolliest moments of the
whole evening was when the ices were
brought in. They consisted of groups Oh
frozen cream, on platters, each platter
being surrounded by a big white initial
one set spelling Peary's name and the
other spelling Amundsens name In
addition a big white pole was paraded
through the banquet room. stirring the
diners to enthusiasm.
One novelty of the menu was the SerV-
ing of a new fruit, the Chinese JuJuDe
which has been cultivated in California
The jujubes served last night were grown
at the plant introduction garden OF the
federal government at CHICO. Cal, ahC
were candied in strip and dried. Iney
were the first American grown 9u1upes
to be served at a public function In TINS
country and We're the result of the WORK
of the Department of Agriculture.
