!n ether words, make the entire ex.
MMtlen a representation en tlie Intel
K development of the race in the
lut century nnd n half.
L.t It take en the character of a vast
tJr linnKitien of the weld's choicest

'Ths could be achieved by falling upon

It might well repay Philadelphia,
!. !, nM nt rltv. Stn'e and Xntiennl
flflvernments. te erect the show places
for the presentation et these foreign
MicnrM.
If, however, any nation elected te
pttKnt an exhibition within an exhibi
tion, of its own progress in manufuc
ttra, industries, mining and contem
poraneous art, Jet ince be allotted te
It for the erection et Its own structure
for such purposes.
The question of cost of such an ex
position should be settled within thirty
days. Ilascd upon thin might be pred
icated an approximation of the income
from Ruch an exhibition.
Btlll another suggestion has been
made ; that instead of calling it an ex
position why net designate It na the
world's Peace Jubilee, and then see te
It thnt the name was Justified in its
character.
One of the most attractive ideas
along this latter line comes from a
distinguished clticen of Philadelphia
who has suggested that as a part of
the Centennial there" lie Incorporated
a musical festival excelling in every
respect anything that has ever been
known In the world.
The last World's Peace Jubilee was
held for tbree weeks In Bosten in 1872.
It was a magnificent artistic success.
In a vast coliseum built expressly
for the occasion bands and orchestra
containing mere than 1000 Instruments
accompanied a grand chorus of 17,000
voices.
One hundred nnd ninety-nine artists
from all parts of the world participated.
The coliseum was 1550 feet long and
fl.TO feet wide. Of this area the stage
occupied net quite one-half. lis depth
was 240 feet.
National Music Days
Every nation was assigned a day en
wlucii .music peculiar te itselt was rcn
dcred by bands and choruses of their
own nationality.
Cannen reared, anvils clanged nnd
every instrument of Found that could
be harmoniously blended with thU
mighty chorus of buman voices was
brought into play.
Such a feature, it has been sue
Rested, might be made the conspicuous
feature or. tne Bcsqui-i;entcnnini.
A vast temporary coliseum could be
erected In which te held these concerts.
An admission fee would be charged
which In the aggregate would contribute
vastly te the expense of the Centen
nial. In the Bosten Peace Jubilee the total
receipts exceeded $1,000,000. The re
ceipts from season tickets alone were
$260,000. The sale of single scats for
the first week brought $250,000, and for
the second, week $000,000.
The world's greatest bandmasters,
conductors, composers and artists could
be summoned from ever the world te
aid the project.
As this Idea of striking features
grows, ether great attractions might be
added in ether directions. Seme could
be carried out as private enterprises
under concessions.
An exposition and peace jubilee such
as described, it is confidently asserted,
could be brought te full perfection and
success nt a cost of $15,000,000 te
$25,000,000.
This docs net take Inte account per
manent buildings or city Improvements,
the character of which might be safely
left te the Chamber of Commerce and
ether civic bodies acting In conjunc
tion with City Council.
In the above, and closing this series
of articles, has been outlined as con
cisely as possible what Is possible in the
way of n sesqui-ccntennlal.
Whatever Its name or title, or pecu
liar designation might be, It should
embrace at least millennium Ideas.
Above Its gates in letters of fire
should blaze this motto of Philadel
phia's great effert:
"Peace en Earth, Goodwill te Men."
The symbol of the hope and desire
of a war-weary werjd.
