versary a success worthy of a great nation like ours. The Pro¬ 
fessor said that one of the principal causes of partial failure in these 
celebrations had been the want of time to properly complete the 
preparations; that we ought to learn from the experience of other 
nations and commence this work now, and push it vigorously to 
completeness. He hoped our young state would do her full share 
in the work, and be fully represented in her agricultural, mining, 
manufacturing and other industries, works of art, educational ad¬ 
vantages, and all other interests which tend to advance the state’s' 
prosperity and the happiness of each individual citizen. 
Brief remarks were also made by Mr. Woodard and Mr, 
Tubbs, favoring the resolutions and urging the necessit}^ of early 
action by the state and by our people. That what was done, 
should be well done, and the state be given that prominence in 
this national work which her vast and varied resources justly en¬ 
titled her. 
The resolutions were unanimously adopted, and the chair ap¬ 
pointed as a committee contemplated in their provisions, Eli Stil- 
son, President, and W. W. Field, Secretary of the Wisconsin 
State Agricultural Society, and Hon. Harrison Ludington, of 
Milwaukee.
