{Applause}

'Mr Sullivan, Mr Mayor, ladies and gentlemen. It is indeed a very great privilege for me to have been invited to come here today with the purpose of opening this Centennial Exhibition.

Naturally, at a time like this, our thoughts go back to the commencement of the era covered by the Exhibition.'
