our sincere thanks, is to assure our Italian friends of our best 
wishes, our warmest sympathy, and the hope which we en¬

day, of giving them a good, warm Yankee hand-shake. 
The ceremonies of the festival will be continued during 
four days, beginning on Saturday, September 5th, and the 
programme, which has been prepared by the Committee of 
Arrangements, promises a succession of events in which social 
enjoyment and the serious business of the occasion will 
agreeably and profitably alternate and mingle. 
If it were a lawful thing to do, we should envy the
