Their Majesties when they came to Glasgow to declare it open were very much impressed by it. They are accustomed to seeing the finest and the best their. great Empire can produce but even they were not quite prepared for an Exhibition equal to this one, Scotland has surpassed herself and all who see it are equally impressed, Exhibitions in Glasgow have always been a success. The Scottish mind can plan for these things in a way thay others are not able and Glasgow specially excels when it stages an Empire Exhibition.
It is no exaggeration to assert that never in the history of Exhibitions in all parts of the world has there ever been anything like this one. It was not to be wondered at that when the King and Queen came to the Empire's second city, there would be an enormous number of people who would attend the Exhibition to see their Majesties declare it open and then to catch a glimpse of them both as they toured Bellahouston Park, but while great crowds were present, they have been present almost every day since.
The weather has nep been any too kind, indeed there have been days when the elements have been most unkind. Despite this fact, the crowds go out to Bellahouston and the Exhibition has the large numbers of sightseers it has had each day since it was first opened to the public.
