cial.-The magnificent 5000 seventy-piece
silver service, the gift of the people of
the Blue Grass State to the battleship

pie, but impressive ceremony. The ser
vice is the handsomest ever given a United

cially beautiful, and the massive punch
bowl is of solid silver, lined with gold, and
wonderfully engraved. 1t is one Of the
largest in existence.
The presentation was made by Hon.
Harry Weissinger, of Louisville, who said:
For this great ship we have a dual
feeling of pride and affection-pride be-
cause she is a part of the navy which has
shed much glory on America; affection be-
cause she is a nanlesake of Kentucky.
Her career will be watched by Ken
tuckans with an interest akin TO that of
a fond parent. AS a slight manifestation
of gratitude by the people Of Kentucky for
the honor conferred on their STATE, it is
my, high privilege to present, in the name of
kentucky, this beautiful silver service to
the Ship
"Kentucly may well feel proud CT the
honor the government has done ner in
naming this battlesEip which is the peer
of anything afoat. Among ships OF war
her character is as high as the characters
of Kentucky men and women.
The band then struck up My Old Ken
lucky Home and the crowd gave way
to frenzy of enthusiasm. The ship was
then Inspected from stem to stern by the
visitors. Tonight a banquet was ten
