At Milwaukee, more than 150 600
people sat in the biggest amphi-
theater in the world Thursday night
and saw fine display of fireworks. The
occasion was the great naval battle which
had been so extensively advertised. AS a
representation of a naval engagement IL
was rather weak, but as a fireworks ex-
hibtion it was frst-class. In arranging
for the battle the managers forgot one
very important factor and that was the
traditional ''smoke Of battle.'' 1t was a
still, sultry night, and after the first big
guns Of the shore batteries had been going
five minutes the immense crowd was envel-
oped in smoke, while dense cloud hung
over the bay. After that it was like look
ing at a fourth of July fireworks exhibit
ton through smoked glass. But the big
guns doomed, the musketry ratified, and
the fireworks fixed until all the ammuni-
ton was exhausted.
The beginning of the battle was a bril-
liant spectacle. Red lights burned for
two miles down the shores of the bay and
illuminated everything for long distance
out INTO the lake. The water was calm
and on its placid bosom were several hum
dred crafts of all sizes and designs. All
were illuminated by red fire, and all at a
signal discharged rockets. Then the
shore batteries opened fire and the
flashing of the cannon, their dull roar,
and the blazing rockets were impressive
and inspiring. But it only lasted a
