What will probably be one of the most
magnificent swords of honor ever pre-
sented by the United States TO an officer

dent, and is pronounced by naval officers

chase of a sword. scabbard, belt and
case to be presented to that officer. The
contract price of the four articles is 81
600, and they are to be furnished to the
department early in November.
The blade will be thirty and one-half
inches in length. All the metal, except
in the steel blade and scabbard is To be
twenty-five carat gold. At the top of the
sword hilt Is to be a piece of gold on
which will be the name of the battleship
Olympia, trident erect and the Zodia-
cal sign for December. the month of
Rear Admiral Deweys birth There will
be many other decorations. At the point
of the ferrule on the scabbard the gold
casing terminates in Spanish crown and
coat-or-arms, upside down. The point Of
the sword passes through the crown, sug-
gesting destruction of annihilation. The
sword blade is damascened with the in
scription: The gift of the nation to Rear
Admiral George Dewey, L. S. N. in
memory of the victory at Manila Bay,
May l. 1895" A Phoenician galley. rep

for this side of the blade. This has been
