in the name of the Tokyo public.
Prof Smith, accepting the gift said
that he knew the Japanese We're fond
| of flowers, and that the offering of
| flowers to show appreciation was
another proof of their love of them.
| He then emphasized the fact that the
love of the beautiful and the sincere
is not confined to one nation or
! people but it is to be found in all
parts of the world This common
love of the sweet and pure in Nature"
said the speaker, should bring ma
lions and people together" And he
concluded by saying. 1T is my wish
that no shadow shall ever fall across
| the United States big enough to ar
rest the growth of friendship that
has been a characteristic and pride
of the two big powers fronting the
| Pacific"
During the same afternoon about
! 200 of the delegates were entertained
at a concert of Japanese music and
dances at the Tokyo academy of
music at Ueno park. These old
classical dances, which were accom-
! panied by musicians of the Imperial
| court, Were given as a special favor
| for the benefit of a comparatively
few favored delegates. The drama
was called "Tu Benkei' (Benkei in
the Ship.
Part 1.-The famous General
| Yoshitsene falling into disgrace with
his lord and brother, Yoritono. sets
! out with the priest warrior. Benkei,
! and other followers of the western
| Provinces Before embarking on the
| ship at Daimotsunoura. he dismisses
! his lover, Shidzu<a, who expresses
| her deep sorrow by a song and dance
I on the sea the ghosts of the warriors
| of the Taira, drowned in the sea fight
/ at Damoura. emerge from

among them Yoshitsene draws his
sword to fight. but Benkei taking his
rosary. disperses the ghosts with his

Part 1.-THE cast was dancing
acrobate who We're supposed to make a
tour of the country, singing folk
songs, dancing and practicing feats of
agility. This is one of my indescriba-
BILE experiences. The slow. solemn
precision of the weird rhythmic mo-

| Oriental costumes and music make a
| vivid impression on the mind of the
! observer which cannot be repro
! duced by means of words.
