FOR POET SHAKESPEARE
Virginia Only Part OF New Worio
Mentioned by Famous Literary
G:enius--Idbrary suggested.

Reports of the results of the work
done so far in the interest OF thS
proposed Shakespearean pageant, ana
ideas and suggestions for the further
nrorress of the historical celebration
occupied the attention of the members
of the committee in charge at a meet
ing held Thursday. John Stewart
Bryan presided, and Bishop ID. }.
o'Connell 4. c. Stearncs and Dr.. j.
G. Metcalf were among those speak
ing on behalf OF the project.
In her report on the results &C.
compIished. and what was proposed.
Miss Hatcher said that il was hoped
that all of the various bodies OF tho
city would participate in he pageant.
and that the Richmond College
grounds We're adopted as the scene for
the event On the question of rails
ing money 20 carry ont the plans, 1t
is expected that the city will appro-
pirate s10.0o0 for the success of the
pageant.
ON tho suggestion of DR.. Metcalf
permanent committee OF three gem
tlemen was appointed to cooperate
with the standing committee of ladies.
Bishop OConnell in his remarks
showed the special relations existing
between Virginia and the poet, say
ing that Virginia Is the only part Of
the new world whose history has been
sung by Shakespeare. with whom It's
history is mingled He suggested that
after the pageant something perma-
nent in bronze be established TO per-
petuate Eifginia's recognition of the
poet. which. would be so fittingly
shown, and which she was in special
way privileged to maintain.
This view was echoed by other
speakers. one OF whom suggested the
creation OF a library as Il crystalliza-
ton of the recognition made by the
pageant.
Mr.. Il. C. Stcarnes speaking on be-
naf of the school children, declared
that they would most loyfuliy ierd
