It could be seen all over the field. A brief lull in the concert. Then came “Dixie” and a mighty roar from the Southern delegates in the field. The golden voiced Lily Pons, former Metropolitan Opera star, lovely in white, mounted an open platform, midway of 'the press stand, waved toward the President’s stand, and sang Bishop's “Lo, Mear the Gentle Lark.” Weather Is Threatening.
