Naval Display.
CROWDS OF SPECTATORS.

MILWAUKEE, Wis, Aug. 29.-This
has been the great day of the encampment
as regards the crowd. The day trains
brought in about 10000 visitors, mostly
from Wisconsin and Illinois, the great at
traction being the night naval battle.
Fully 250,C00 people occupied the beach,
and the vast amphitheater on the hillside
of Lake Shore Park was packed with
Grand Army men aud their wives, the
seats being reserved for them.
The battle was splendid spectacle, be
ing participated in by about sixty vessels,
besides q stationery mortar fleet and by
about 5000 infantrymen and artillerymen.
There were fired 70,0O0 rounds of mus
kerry, 5000 shells, 1850 rockets and 10000
pounds of fireworks were exploded.
The plan Of the battle vas an attack by
the hostile fleet and the landing Of q ma
rine force TO be repulsed by shore batter
les, supported by infantry. The line OF the
battle feet was led by the United States
man-of-war Michigan, and the revenue
cutters johnson and Fcssenden.
The signal was given at o'clock, and
as if by magic the whole bay was iliumin-
ated, and the spectators could see the ami
mated movements of the infantrymen, ar
tillerymen and seamen as they got Ready
for the conflict. The darkness succeeded
as the line Of the battle feet gracefully
unanswered, engaging the shore batteries
as they passed, and the latter returning
the fire.
1t is splendid spectacle which the spec
tators now see as the vessels pour in their
port fire and the land batteries respond.
Guns, mortars and rocket guns discharge
their missiles and as the feet make cir.
cult the vessels continue pouring in their
raking broadsides and the land batteries
aim their guns at the passing feet till
burning wreckagc is seen floating about
here and there. Burning kerosene bar
rels were utilized TO bring about this de-
fusion.
After brisk action lasting about half
m hour the brilliant spectacle Of kissing
shot and shel, flaming rockets shooting in
every direction, the water witches skipping
hither and thithcr in myriad confusion
ended and only the occasional boom of o
gun was hnrd.
Mistakenly supposing that they had 81
lcnced tine shore batteries, the attacking
forces now prepare to leave in small boats
aud complete the victory, but the be-
leagured city is not ready to capitulate- The
infantry force that has until now remained
IN reserve presses forward on the beach in
front onthc batteries ready to meet the
landing force. AS they pour their steady
fire, rourd after round, into tho midst Of
the approaching boats, the roar of musk
ctry supersedes the boom of cannonading.
The invading party is repuised, retreats in
confusion, and two vessels are SO badly
disabled that they are blown up with pow.
der.
a magnificent pyrotechnic display fol-
lowed the battle.

Sherman's Last Speech.

MILWAUKEE, Wis. Aug. 2S.-About
200 regimental reunions were held this af,
ternoon. Abou: 1900 people gathered at
the National Soldiers Home for disabled
veterans, where the men passed in review
before General Sherman and party. Gen.
cral Sherman was received with immense
enthusiasm and made brief speech, which
he said is the last he will ever make. The
General said:
Boys, my speaking days are over l am
cot gong to making more speeches. l am
always glad to see so many soldiers look
ing hearty and healthy. / think we can
stand on our legs yet. l like to see that
our old Uncle Sam takes good care of these
old soldiers. Uncle Sam cannot make old
men young, but he can make young men
Just as good as you or l ever werc l see
Milwaukee is full of them, and they are
coming out of the bushes everywhere
I'VE have passed through one crisis Of
our country's history. l do not see any
chance of another, but nobody knows the
future.
bring up your children to love and ven
crate the old soldiers who fought from
1871 to 1865 and make them uncover their
heads when they see that banner that you
followed in the days which tried us to the
utmost Let us venerate that flag and love
our country, and love each other and
stand by each other as long as we have
heads on our shoulders and legs on our
bodies.
Those old soldiers who marched against
the enemy in those trying days, a grateful
country tries its best TO assist and will,
think-in fact l am sure--be good to you
when you get too old. All that is neces-
sary, but keep moving as long Us you can
and do not so into a soldiers home if you
can help it."
