BIRTH OF THE NATION.
AlI'Roids Lead to Jamestown
Where Great Historical Event
Is to be Celebrated br Mani!
; Icent Exposition. .
Correspondence' of The Gasette, '
'v Norfolk, Va., May 15. The
meinorialization of the birth: of
the nation, at the . nation's birth-
p.ace, in a' manner commen
surate with the solemn dignity
and impressiveness of tbat great
event, is the purpose of the Ex
position now iu progress upon
tne shares ann waU-rs of Hamp
ton R a.'s. . .
Over the scenes of old, a city
bt-autilul has been . reared to
those who in the long ago laid
the foundation or this majestic
nation. Virginia is not the rich
est State in the Union and Nor
folk is not the largest city; but
they have! both given ungrudg
ingly to this lofty enterprise.
from its inception tnree years
ago it has grown' by leaps and
bounds to truly tremendous pro
portions. Representing a con
structive cost of from eight to
ten millions of dollars, it has
special features which, regarded
as an asset, as they properly
should be, would bring the mon
ey valuation of this great enter
prise to quite three hundred mil
lions ot dollars, eclipsing any
similar event in history. ' It mat
ters little that this sum was not
actually expended by the man
agement. Whatever is mediate,
contributory or accessory to the
scheme, whatever the exposition
otters for the pleasure and in
struction of its "visitors, is legit
imately a part and parcel of the
whole, aud the ' participation of
the nations of the world with
their naval and military rep
resentation is sufficient to justify
the'claira tbat this is the world's
greatest exposition.
A traveler from the most dis
tant point would be amply re
paid by a visit to Norfolk this
year and the vast host from the
interior who have never visited
the seaside may make this trip
serve a double putpose of in
struction and delight, eittier of
which is worth many times the
t'ouble and expense.
Ail : roads lead to Jamestown
this summer and the indications
are that they will be well trav
eled. The- confusion of the
opening weeks has given place
to order and system, The ac
commodations are entirely ad
equate, and extortion and dis.
comfort need not be feared.
The great opportunity ot a
life-time is to be found in the
Jamestown Exposition of 1907,
and it is available to people of
the most moderate means.
The Last Week.
Next week is the last week of
the graded school year. Final
examinations begin Wednesday.
Sunday morning, the 26th, the
annual sermon will be preached
in Mam btreet Methodist church
by Rev. E. L. Bain. Monday
evening in tne opera house the
graduating exercises will take
place and the annual address
will be delivered by Prof. M. C.
Noble, of the University.
