ahead, though, and spoke glow
fngly of the fine arts and Of
Canada's contributions to same.
In concluding he departed
from his prepared text, as the
news stories say, to announce
that this speech had been penned
before he saw this exhibit. He
animated, however, that he
would stand behind every word.
Mr.. Woodward was followed
by several other speakers and
finally by P. T. Nelson Of the
brewery whose ale was being
feted. He said he liked it here
and he hoped every one would
visit Canada. He added that he
undertook this export of ale to
Olmsted's with misgivings and
only as a small contribution to
establishment of q fair trade
balance. He assured American
brewers that his imports would
be inconsequential, demonstrat-
ing that he doesn't know about
Mr.. Brahms or the Clmsted wait
ers when something is to be sold.
The speech-making finally
concluded, somebody shipped a
ribbon and the vernissage was
official. Mr.. Brahms announced
that all present would soon have
