Chicago seems to have chance to get
for the exposition a naval attraction

of her name,ake of the white squadron.
1t is the brig Niagara, built on the shore
of Lake Ecle in great haste during the

knows about 1t was to the Niagara that
Perry transferred his flag and himself

blank side of an envelope for paper, that
he wrote the historic dispatch, 1--WE have

Famous ships fare as hardly on the lakes
as on the sea coast, and the hull of the

for years, although sound enough to raise
and move to Chicago. 1t is said, too that
some of the guns of her battery can be
obtained and mounted Restored and rig
ged, she will be much smaller than many
