Especial Correspondence)

belnS the dedication ot the Press
 Club. Owing to lack of space it is
 impossible to describe all that took
 place during this very eventful after
 noon, but some of the most important
 features are herewith described.
 Peter B. Kyne, noted writer and
 president of the San Francisco Press
 Club, NJ. H. deYoung, vice-president
 of the exposition, George Hough
 Perry, director of exploitation, Wal
 demar H. r. N. deBille, chairman of
 the day, Clyde Westover, secretary of
 the Press Club, General Castillo, commissioner general of the Republic
 of Cuba, Ernesto Nathan, commits
 sioner general from Italy, H. H.
 Dempsey of the Army and Navy
 News, Captain C. H. Woodward,
 naval aide to President Moore, the
 president and general manager of the Pan Pacific Press Association, and several others, received telephone
 messages which were recorded on
 the telegraphone from Secretary of State William Jennings Bryan, acting
 Secretary of the Treasury Byron
 Newton. Frank B. Lord, president of the Washington Press Club, and de-
 spite the fact that three thousand miles separated the speakers in Wash ington from those in the Press Club in San Francisco, the voices were as clear as though the speakers were but a block away, the telegraphone re- cording perfectly every word uttered.
 The ceremony started by Secretary Bryan pushing a button which caused the unfurling of an American flag in front of the Press Building. The telegraph instrument used to receive this spark from Washington is the same which President Wilson used to blow up the Gamboa Dike in the Panama canal and is also the one which Mir. Wilson used to open the Pananla-Pacifc International exposi- ton. Excellent addresses were made by NJ. H. deYoung, Waldemar H. F. N. deBille, Clyde Westover, Peter B. Kyne, Captain J. N. Neisigh, former ly president of the Australian Jour nalists Association, and Geo. Hough Perry, director of exploitation.
 Mir. Perry in a stirring address paid a glowing tribute to the press and said that without the active and earn est cooperation of the newspaper fraternity that no exposition could be a success. He complimented the edi- tors throughout the country upon the work they had done for mankind. He thanked them for the work they had done in placing before the people the wonders of the exposition, which he said was responsible for the most of people who were coming l to the exposition. He also stated | that through the patriotic enterprise of the press, those who were unable to come to San Francisco were en- Sbled to see the exposition through | the columns of the press. The vast army of editors assembled deeply ap- oreciated Mir. Perry's speech.
 The old sea dog Oregon fired a salute in honor of the dedication. She sent company of jackies and her ,and The marine corps furnished ,atallion of well drilled and groomed nen with their band, and the Presidio ent as a special guard four troops of avalry and their mounted band, an Ionor not conferred at any other ded- catory ceremonies. Maori girls, erce warriors from Somaliland, Ha vaiian girls, Indian girls, Turkish' , -irls, Somali girls, and beautiful div ng girls danced on the green sward n front of the building while directly I front of the building was an open rave around which gathered mem CTS of the Press Club dressed as l oys, with a Gloom who pleaded that )ull Care be allowed to live. The entence of the court, however, was nat Dull Care should be killed and C urled into the grave and the Joys a 'ith great glee hurled themselves up- q n the figure representing Dull Care, C ashed vigorously with their hatchets r le effigy and dashed 1t into the open C rave, covering it with earth. A sal Q te was fired over the grave and taps 4 ,unded. The monument erected b yer the grave is inscribed as follows: Here Lies Dull Care, the Unloved [" hild of Woe and Misery, Buried by S; e Press Club of San Francisco, W pril 3, 1915" u More distinguished visitors were e esent at these ceremonies than al we witnessed any other dedication pl nee the opening of the exposition.
