Mr.. Belts stated that the people who

that he thought that the Committee on

ships That Shened Cervera

Philadelphia. Oct. 17.-Among the
new and interesting exhibits at the Ma
tional Export exposition are models of
four of the great battleships which de-
stroyed Cervera's fleet at Santiago.
These models are perfect to the
minutest details. and strike the eve
beyond the line OF bisected 10 inch
shells, such as put an end to the flight
of the Cristobal Colon, and which can
be projected from the decks of the
Oregon and ships of that character for
a distance of 13 miles. These models
are in the south pavilion of the Main
building. and attract as much attention
rs any exhibit in the building. They
are from the Cramps shipyard, where
the vessels were built, and their chief
value and interest is in the accuracy
and detail of their construction. A
very interesting display of relics of the
Spanish war, many of them from the
harbor of Manila. and some of them
from the heights of San Juan, is made
In another part Of the Main building.

Horse Collars Padded with Air.

Philadelphia, Oct 17.-Horse collars
filled with air constitute an exhibit at
the National Export exposition of deep
interest to persons to whom the noble
horse appeals for kindly and humane
treatment. The strength of the col
lar lies in the bending of an iron tube,
upon which the entire collar is built.
The iron tube is first covered with
heavy telling to prevent any contact
with the rubber air cushion. Outside
of this cushion another thickness of
heavy Telling is placed between the air
bag and the outside covering, which IS
made of tough collar leather. The pads
are air cushions, the air being con-
densed to degree to sustain any load
snd adapt itself to any shape of Shout
der, with the greatest ease and least
damage to the horse. It's action is a
rolling rather than a rubbing one.
However great the pressure caused By
the draft, when relieved of the same
the collar assumes it's normal shape.
and presents only a small surface to
the horses shoulder, enabling it to
cool Immediately, thus preventing the
calling of the shoulder. The trace at
tachments are secured to the collar and
form part Of 1t. and thus do away with
names.

Philadelphia, Oct 17.-The following
Endorsement is the latest OF many SIM
liar testimonials that have been given
to Mr.. Rogers, the owner OF the beau
tiful jim Key, by various humane So
cieties throughout the United States:
We heartily indorse the marvellous
exhibition of beautiful Jim Key, the
educ Gated horse. as an object lesson,
showing what patience and kindness
will accomplish in the teaching of an
imals. and how much more effective
they prove than severity and cruelty,
and we recommend to every one to take
advantage Of the opportunity to wit
ness SO remarkable performance.
(Signed) Caroline Earle White, pres
ident of Women's Pennsylvania So
ciety for the Prevention Of Cruelty to
Animals"
Jim Key is still on exhibition on the
exposition Esplanade. and some OF the
children of Philadelphia are going to
he few dollars richer by his presence.
The Women's Pennsylvania Society for
the Prevention OF Cruelty to Animals
has offered To the children of the pub
lie and parochial schools of Philadel-
phia series of prizes, in value TO the
amount of 500, to the children who
write the best composition on the topic
Patience and Kindness" as exempli-
fed in the exhibition Of beautiful Jim
Key. This wonderful horse is consid
cred the grandest object lesson that
the humane societies have had to pre-
sent to the people to teach them that
kindness and patience will accomplish
much more than force and cruelty. DIR.
Key, who taught beautiful Jim Key to
read, write and spell. spent seven long
years in patient, kindly treatment.
When he was asked how he taught
the horse to do all these wonderful
things he said it was patience, kind
ness, apples and sugar.

Chiqu,ta. the Cuban Fairy.

Philadelphia, Oct. 17-An especial
favorite at the National Export expo
sition is the little Cuban lady, ChiQui-
ia, whose daily receptions, in her own
building, have been attended by a far
larger number of people, It is said, than
any other attraction, with the possible
exception OF the famous Hagenback
trained wild animal show, within the
grounds since the exposition was open
ed. Chiquita takes great delight In
frequent visits to Hagenback' IS, and en-
joys flirting with Jolly" the big,
good natured elephant.
Chiquita is no freak. but a dainty.
well dressed and accomplished lady OF
charming, refined manners She is %
years Of age. and only 26 inches in
heiett. Her weight is 17i5 pounds.
Visitors to the exposition are oe-
lighted with her. and her prettily ar
ranged reception parlors are crowded
daily with the ladies and children of
the best families from all parts OF the
Union. At no other exposition was so
small and dainty yet so beautiful, per-
feet, finely developed. the smallest,
most charming little creature in the
world, that every one feels they must
see her upon visiting the Philadelphia
exposition.

Locomotive at the Export Exposition.

~ e@AS POAt pOSltiOu.
Philadelphia, Oct 3.-The miniature
railway at the Export exposition, which
is operated on Vintage avenue, is the
greatest children's plaything at the
exhibition. The miniature railway is
built for the use of the smallest steam
railway train in the world 1t uses
coal for fuel consists of ten passenger
coaches, with capacity of two people
FOR each coach. The engine which

BIG DAY AT EXPOSITION.
Almost Fifty Thousand Persons Attend the
the Great Show

Philadelphia. Oct. Saturday was
the banner day at the National Export
exposition. Nearly $4,000 persons
Ito be exact, 44.S97) visited the trade
show along the SchuSlkill. From early
morning until late at night the peo-
pie thronged through the entrance
gates, and the rush was far greater
than the most sanguine expectations
To some extent the assembling of the
commercial congress has stimulated
peolic interest in the exposition. and
resulted in increased attendance. The
TACT that the big show is now entirely
completed is also a big drawing card.
In the main building there was a
veritable crush during the afternoon
and evening. Every section and every
aisle were overrrn with visitors, and
the exhibitors have not experienced
such a busy day since the great show
opened. There was a continuous lam
of people in the food section. where
free samples were distributed without
stint, and the machinery section was
also magnet for crowds of interested
sightseers. The same throngs took
possession of the implement building.
On the Midway the amusement en-
terprises were simply overwhelmed bv
the rush. and. incidentally, they coined
money all day long. Standing room
only was to be had in n number of
shows, and il was necessary for some
or the side shows which have limited
seating capacity to close their doors
time and again upon the crowds surg
ing to gain admittance In the same
manner the restaurants and lunch
cafes on the grounds were nearly
SWamped, and their accommodations
were sorely taxed in catering TO the
wants ofa hungry multitude.
IL was noticeable that among the
crowds were many visitors from other
cities, especially from the south. TAX
ing &C number of railroad coupon
tickets accepted at the turnstiles as n
bass of estimation. there were over
BOO from Baltimore and Washington
alone. and in one party from Atlanta.
Ga, there were so exposition visitors.
The implement building, a section
or the exposition SO POPULAR among
the farming classes, because of its
unparalleled display of agricultural
machinery, wagons, harness, etc. is
also favorite resort for music lovers.
Concerts are given daily, afternoon
and evening, in the implement build
ing by the Municipal band.
This week and next Damrosch's Or
chestra will give concerts in the An
ditorium every afternoon and even
ing. In response to public demand.
Sousa and his band will return to the
exposition on Oct. 80 for a weeks en-
gagement.

weighed yesterday on the same scales
