By that lime it will be un exposition In fact as well as In nama, ind then visitors to It will be amp' repaid for their travel and efforts. The ceremonies moved oft wlth ut a hitch with the exception of the perilous crush that threatened to levelop into a serious panic when i President began to speak. The weather was all that could have ecn desired, fair skies and a fresh freeze lending all that weather can the enjoyment of a crowd. And there was a crowd. Probably 20,000 persons managed to get out to the Ixposltlon grounds first nnd last, tome by trolley, some by steam cars, iiost of them by bout, and a few ary and experienced ones by the Jow but reliable horse and wagon joute not to overlook the lucky pos lessors of automobiles. The official programme begun with in omission which Is one of tho ihlngs that are not scheduled to ba .nade up by and by. There was to Save been a salute of 300 guns at wnrlse, fired by the Norfolk Blues, he local artillery organization of -.he Virginia National Guard. That as one for each year since Capt. John Smith came ashore and laid ihe foundation for the Virginia col ny. The guns were not tired be ;auae, as with the Governor of Gu itn, there was no powder. There Is aever going to be any powrer. The Zxposltton Company tho ,ght the .Hues should buy their nv. u saluting immusnltlori, and the Blues were sure that If they wore willing to get jp before sunrise in order to shoot it up the Expedition certainly should willing to pay for It. The diff erence of opinion being lrreconclll ible, the powder remaining unbought ind there was no salute. Imposing Naval Spectacle. But there was plenty of boom ng from other guns than those f the Blues, and it kept up pretty ouch all day. The President had . some down the Potomac In the con certed yacht Mayflower, and was repared very early In the morning or his part In the day's exercises. :t began for him at 8.30, when the Mayflower steamed along the line he Exposition side of Hampton .loads. Teh seadogs of five foreign .nations were there, separated by a vide stretch of gleaming water from '. double line of white-sided aen-of-war that were flying the Stars nd 8tripes. All the twelve foreign ers and thirty-eight Americans were tressed in the best of their festival junting, and together they made an aspiring spectacle for the throngs of people that crowded the water ront along the Exposition grounds. Aa the President's yasht swung by he nrst of the foreigners the guns egan to roar, and then for an hour .here was no cessation of the Are. 3ach foreign ship In Its turn sent tp the Stars and Stripes to the fore ruck, and blazed away twenty-one Imes in its honor. Then the May ?ower swung up the line of Ameri can vessels, and each boomed out itg alute to the President. Landing at the exposition grounds oon after 11 o'clock, In launches, President Roosevelt, Mrs. Roosevelt, the Presidential party and the naval oGlcars of .the various squadrons were met by Harry St. George Tuc ier, Prealdent of the exposition. "Old Virginia salutes you,'" said Mr. Tnrker. The President re turned the salutation, and with Mrs. Roosevelt was driven to the grand tand on the Parade between two lines of soldiers from the Twenty third United States Infantry, who, In open file, covered tho entire course Ji-om the shore front to the Inaug ural stand. After the overture by the augmen ted band, the air being "Jamestown pixie," prayer was offered by the Right Rev. Alfred Maglll Randolph, puhop of Southern Virginia. The fficial opening chorm;, gathered from all the tidewater cities. President Tucker made a lengthy address, reviewing in detail the his tory of the Jamestown colony. "America," he said, "can have no higher mission among the nations tit the world than In the Blmple working out In their perfection of the great principals which received their first baptism In the waters of the James, and their last In the blood of patriots from every State in the Union." ..Trn to hU strenuous ttopsr- ment, the President dominated th Inaugural throughout the day. This wns especially manifested preceding and during his address. He personally directed an emer gency movement of the troops which was ordered by Major-Gen. Grant to prevent the vast throug on Lee's parade from overwhelming lu Its eagerness to press forward the wo men and children who were cnught In the human malestorm Just In front of the reviewing stand. Calls to Crowd to Keep Illicit. Jumping upon a rickety table the president vociferously appealed to the crowd to keep back. His words were for a considerable time effect ive, and to his vigor and promptness the Exposition officials attributed avoidance of what might have been a serious and possibly a fatal crush. JOHN L.
