While the attention Of the world has
limped along behind the stupendous
events occurring in Europe during
the last few months. a great American
accomplishment has been successfully
concluded without causing more than
a casual furry Of interest among the
people of the country; the Cape Cod

and proposed innumerable times as
public undertaking, has been open

TO its construction, prepared for the
