outhuslatlcallv applauded by all present.
Sir Phillip Cunliffo Owen said that ho was
convinced that the Chicago exhibition would
excel any other previous exhibition , and
therefore the Society of Arts bad icsolvcd to
do its utmost to sco that Great Brillnn was

As the company was dispersing. Sir Phillip
Cunliffo O.von said : "Tho associated people
of America cannot overestimate the im-

the missionaries or his denomination
