NO. 28 On Saturday, May 1st, the Tennessee Centennial Exposition was formally opened. The object of this Exposition is to celebrate the anniversary of the admission of the State of Tennessee into the Union, one hundred years ago. Tennessee is the first State thus to celebrate its centennial. The ceremonies at the opening of the Exposition were very simple; they had, however, one interesting feature. After the Governor of the State and other important persons had spoken, Mr. Thomas, the President of the Exposition company, came forward and dictated the following telegram: "To the President of the United States of America, Washington, D.C. "The people of the State of Tennessee send greetings, and request that you now put in motion the machinery of the Tennessee Centennial Exposition." There was a pause after the message was flashed over the wire. The people waited breathlessly, and then, amidst tremendous applause, the machinery began to move. President McKinley had received the message and answered it.
