duce the speaker of the evening. With

units of the vast British Empire, each
with its native attendants in typical
national surroundings. It was veri-
tably a British Empire gathered with-
in a couple o'f 'hundred of acres.
There d'as no more comparison be-,
tween the •sesqui-eentednial at Phila-
delphia, of :which we have heard so
muoh, and :Wembley exhibition, than
between a nickel and a twenty -dollar
gold piece, said the speaker.

on this. bearers that the exhibition
broughthome the fact that the rest
of the world was an island entirely
surrounded by the British Empire.
