Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Appendix to the Reports of the United States Centennial Commission and Centennial Board of Finance, 1879 At the final meeting of the Commission, held at Philadelphia, January 15, 1879, the President, General Joseph R. Hawley, made the following Report. Gentlemen of the United States Centennial Commission: After consultation with the Director-General, the Chairman of the Executive Committee, and the active managers of the Board of Finance, I issued notices, on the 22d of November, 1878, of this meeting of the Commission to be held at the Continental Hotel, Philadelphia, at 12 M., January 15, 1879, with a view to substantially closing our labors. There will be to-day submitted to you, in eleven volumes, the final reports of the Secretary of the Commission, the Presidents account of the chief ceremonies, the reports of the Executive Committee, of the Director-General and his subordinate Chiefs of Bureaus, of the Chief of the Bureau of Awards, the full reports of the Judges, a condensed statement of the accounts of the Board of Finance; in short, the full records of the International Exhibition of 1876. I heartily congratulate you, gentlemen, upon the brilliant success of the great enterprise in which we have had the honor of participating. The precise measure of that success, in comparison with preceding or subsequent International Exhibitions, we must leave to others to estimate, but none know so well as we that the difficulties and embarrassments of the work were peculiar and unprecedented. In reporting to the President of the United States, in accordance with the Act of June 1, 1872, "a full exhibit of the results" of the Celebration and Exhibition, a brief review of the circumstances, favorable and unfavorable, is essential to a fair judgment of such results as either surpassed or fell short of reasonable expectations.
