TO add realisflc effect a rurret and
lighting top will tower from the rear of
the deck, made spacious enough for the
chairs OF a large party.
In the evening a display of fireworks
will be given on the Monument grounds,
which are back of the White lot, the
tall white shaft forming a kind of nu-
cleus aroYnd which the operations will
center. The grounds will hold 80, 900
people, and the pyrotechnics will be
visible IN the states Of Virginia and
Maryland.
The most attractive features will be
the huge set pieces. which will be built
on a stage over 500 feet long. A huge
flag of colored fire nearly 400 feet long
will be shot 1000 feet in the air by
means of a balloon by way of opening
the entertainment, and this will be fol-
lowed by a presentation of the famous
fight up the San Juan hill last July,
when the rough riders met such a Sc

The explosion of large amounts OF
dynamite and the roaring of guns will
add to the effect of the battle, while IL
Illumination of the grounds by constant
ly changing colored lights will make
the scene one of unusual and unique
beauty. Amid the bursting chains OF
FIRE and cataracts of gold will be por-
traits Of the famous heroes Of the war.

At 10 in the morning of the second

feature of the occasion-the floral pa
rade.
The second jubilee day will end with
a change in music for the band con-
certs, the bands exchanging places, and
a second display of fireworks.
The crowning event of the third and
last day, if not of the entire festival,
will be a gorgeous historical pageant,

plans for his queer'la land cruiser and will
soon put his ideas into working shape.
If he finds that he can make his auto
mobile gun carriage a success he will
build two of them, man them with a
picked crew of guardsman and set sail
for an overland trip from Chicago to
New York.
Major Davidson intends to arm his
new land cruisers with rapid fire Cat
lings or Maxim guns. He has decided
that a gasoline motor is the best for
his purposes. The gun carriage will be
constructed of light armor plate Of suf-
fcient thickness to shelter the gunners
from rife bullets. The general shape
will be much like that Of a warship
above the water line. From the bow a
hood shield will extend up and over the
breech Of the gun, which will project
through a narrow slit. Inside the car
rage will be room for four men.
There is but little doubt that such a
gun carriage could be made to run yer
smooth city streets. What Major Dav-
idson wants is one that can be operated
on country roads.

FIREWORKS ON MONUMENT GROUNDS.
Ter. There will lie extensive pyrotechnic
displays. Gnnpowder will be burned in
the most startling way. Then there will
be a masked carnival.
1t has been the aim of the committee
in charge to introduce in this three day
jubilee scrns of the most popular fea-
lures of other celebrations. Ideas have
been borrowed from the peace jubilees
of Chicago and Philadelphia, from the
New Orleans Mardi Qras and from the
flower carnivals Of California.
The citizens of Washington are going
to spend about 500, 000. Congress not
being in session, they viii have to do
without an appropriation from the fed
eral government, but this will be made
up by the generous action of various ma
tional departments in lending the pres
ence Of soldiers, sailors and warships.
1t is expected that the peace jubilee
will be the most important and biggest
affair of the kind which has been held
In Washington since the grand review
of the army at the close of the civil
war. 1t is being literally advertised in
every section Of the Union, and many
thousands of visitors will be present,
besides those organizations taking part
in the exercises. Those who go will not
only see spectacles well worth viewing,
but they will look upon Washington in
her spring garba. and that alone is fas-
cinating sight.
At sunrise on May 30 the ball will be
opened by a national salute of IS guns
fred from the gunboats of the govern
ment anchored in the river. and this
will be followed by the ringing of pa
triotic airs on the chimes of the Metro

drops on the top Of the war depart

by the Washington meridian, there will
be a salute to the nation from the gun

army and navy will combine to well
come and do honor to your Uncle Sam.
At . in the afternoon will begin the
big military and naval parade. This
will be composed of organizations from
all over the country. Among those tx
