middle OF that month. In whose custody II has
been ever SINCE At FIRST there was consider
able discussion as to how and when IL should
DO presented. but the formation OF plans for q
national reception In this city next fall made
II clear and 1t was seen that this occasion was
undoubtedly the one at which to make the
gift Of the sword.
Although the sword vas exhibited by Tiffany
4 Co In New York city Just after 1t had been
finished. and was seen by a number OF persons
In this city Immediately after its arrival at the
Navy Department. IL was subsequently placed In
one OF the vaults at that building, and has not
been open to inspection by tho public since.
The reason for this In the opinion OF Secretary
Long. was that Admiral Dewey should have
the pleasure OF showing 1t personally to his
friends before II was otherwise exhibited. and
II will not be seen again until IL Is given to
the Admiral at the east front Of the Capitol
on the afternoon OF Oct 3.
The sword is undoubtedly one OF the most
beautiful gifts that has ever been given to one
OF it's heroes by grateful nation. With the
exception OF the steel blade,And tho body Of the
scabbard. the weapon Is made entiraly OF
22-carat gold On the pomms is carved the
word Olympia" the flagship OF Admiral
Dewey. and Just beneath is the sign OF tho
Zodiac for December the month in which he
was born. Around these is wreath OF oak
leaves. Just below. the pomme Is embraced
by gold collar On the front OF this Is the coat
OF arms OF the United States while still lower
IL the coat OF arms OF his native State. Vermont.
1t bears the State motto. Freedom and Unity"
The grip OF the sword is covered with shark
skin and wound with fine geld wire. while tho
surface is dotted with glistennR gold stars.
The guard is carved in the shape OF an eagle
with outspread wings. On the front OF tho
scabbard are, the initials "a. D." and under
them u. S. N" The blade OF the sword bears
the inscription
Tho gift Of the Nation to Rear Admiral
George Dewey. U. 3. N. in memory OF the vic
tory at Manila Bay. May /. 1893"
A committee Of about fifty persons will
shortly be organized. whose duty 1t will be to
go over to New York city Oct. and act as an es-
cort to Admiral Dewey on his journey for this
city the next day A special train has been put
at the service OF this committee by the Pom
sylvania Railroad. 1t will start from New York |
on Monday morning. make few stops on tho |
way. and reach here Just about dusk. |
