Making Ready for the Plunge.
For an hour before the plunge a
large force OF worimen tore away the
chocll blocks which supported the YES
sci, and they finished their task al
most to the minute of the prescribed
time for the launching, leaving only
one chock to restrain the monster,
and this was the support that little
Miss Lucille Gage, daughter of the gov
ernor-elect of the state, had been as
signed to remove by means of gull
lotine and the inevitable electric but
ton. At given signal the little Miss
pressed the button and the crash of
breaking timbers announced to the
thousands cf anxious spectators that
the vessel vas about to leave the ways.
The Christening.
Slowly the iron monster moved to-
wards the bay, and all eyes were
turned to watch Miss Elizabeth Steph-
enson break two bottles of champagne
upon the bow of the vessel. just as
the mass of iron and steel touched the
water the fair christener raised the
ribbon bedecked bottles and brought
them down on the nose of the vessel.
The roar of applause which greeted
this final act was almost deafening
The controversy over the kind of wine
to be used was settled by the use of
one of French make, provided by the
Wisconsin christening committee, and
another of California champagne, pro-
vided by the Union iron works.
The vessel gathered momentum as
she proceeded to the water, and after
leaving the ways foated along until
brought to stop in the basin, where
the work of completing her will go
on. The warships in the harbor fred
salutes as she struck the water.
An Amusing Feature.
An amusing feature of the launch
ing was the wetting of a number of
people who were standing on the ad-
joining beach. The rush of water fol-
lowing the baptism was so great that
the people on the beach could not es-
cape it, and many of them were thor
oughly wetted. A number of White
Hall boats narrowly escaped capsiz-
ing.
Prior to the launching gigantic
flag of the Union, measuring 81 feet
long and IA feet wide, was presented
in honor of Wisconsin. The flag was
the result of the combined efforts of
300 children of the Irving NJ. Scott
public school, who, at the suggestion
of their teachers, commenced work
upon the flag on October 26 of this
year
Following the presentation of the
flag, poem "To the Wisconsin" was
