The Famous Battle.
The Constitution hoisted an ensign and
jack at each masthead Gaining steadily in
her chase. she reached position, after
some preliminary firing lasting for several
hours. off the eneniy's port quarter. Capt.
Huh gave order to fire the 42-pound
shot. The effect was terrific. Splinters
blew over the Guerrero in a cloud. some
OF them reaching as high as the mizzentop,,
while the cheers of her men were abruptly
changed to groans and cries of the wound
ed. Another 24-pqound shot passed above
the deck and struck the English ships
mizzenmast few feet above the deck. The
pressure of the sails acted on the ship like
rudder. bringing her up to the wind in
spite of her helm, and the Constitution put
her helm hard to port to rake. but the
loss of braces, with the injuries to the
spanker and mizzentopsails prevented her
from falling off as quickly as was desired.
There was a lull In the uproar now. as
each ships company paused to see II the
other would board. So close were the two
vessels that sailor falling to discharge his
pistol threw 1t and struck an English sailor
on the chest. shot from the Guerriere

June 20 at pm. The officer in COM

and read to them the declaration of war be-
tween the United States and the United
Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, that
had passed the Senate and authorizing the
President, James Madison, to employ the
armies and navy of the United States
against the above written powers.
There was much cheering among the
crew. August 2, 1912, Old Ironsides left
Boston without orders, the papers having
arrived after her sailing, and had the Con-
stitution been captured during her famous
fight with the Guerrero Capt. Hull would
in all probability have been hung or shot
for sailing without orders.
The Guerriere had left the British squad

Key West From small capture Capt.
Hull learned of her whereabouts. Several
hours later the Guerrero was sighted. The

recent European invention that now
is being brought TO the attention of munich
pal authorities is automobile street
sweeping and watering machine. This de-
vice, which has been tried In Paris with
some success, consists of a large automobile
truck fitted with tank having capacity
of 47o gallons OF water There is a twelve
horsepower motor. which can use as fuel
either gasoline, kerosene or alcohol, and to
which by bevel gearing is connected ro-
tary brush fixed diagonally across the
frame of the vehicle In front of this
brush it is possible to discharge variable
amount of water to lay the dust which is
then swept to one side, while there are two
discharge pipes at the rear pierced with
fine holes from which water may be sprayed
over a width Of street of twenty feet. The
new machine can accomplish as much as
six street cleaners and several horse water
carts, and it's use involves considerable
saving in labor.

Later Service.
From 1921 to 1879 the Constitution served
as flagship and apprentice ship; in 1881 she
closed her long career at sea and lay at

accompanied by the magnificent North At

spick-and-span successors she was taken
back to the place of her BIRTH as it were,
where one hundred years before she had
been christened and launched, to find a
berth at wharf opposite the one from
which she was set afoat.
Between 1880 and 1893 Old Ironsides
was rebuilt, and really but little of the
original is left, except perhaps, the metal
fittings. After her completion a great diff

The builder of the Constitution, wishing no
repetition of this accident, accordingly gave
the ways of his ship less inclination, and got
1t so small that she did not even move when
the props were taken out.
The President, the governor and other
notables had been invited to be present, and
the interest in Boston was Sc great as to at
tract crowds of people. The spectacle must
have been notifying one to Col. Clag-
horn. He had sent communications to the
newspapers expressing solfcitude for the
spectators. Only limited number OF peo-
pie were permitted to enter the shipyafd;
others were advised not to approach in
crowds too near the margin Of the con-
tiguous Wharves. as the sudden entrance of
so large a body as the frigate will occasion

constructor would otherwise enjoy of build

full Agent of National Justice, which hope
dictates may become the just pride and or

When the ship stuck Col. Claghorn had
screws and other mechanical power ap-
piled. but in vain. No effort could bulge
her. Two sister frigates. the Constellation
and the United States, had been success
fully launched at Baltimore and Philadel-
phia. respectively, and the sticking of the
Constitution was the cause of much merri-
ment and comment among the newspapers.
An operetta called The Launch, or Hug
"a for the Constitution had been written
for the evening. However, the SLOW but
sure" sister to Constellation and United
States was finally launched October 81,
1877. and her rather sluggish beginning was
soon followed by events which left her sis
ter ships somewhat In the shade.
Old Ironsides' First Commander.
Capt. Nicholson was her first commander,
but In 1789 he gave up his command to
Commodore silas Talbot. who, with Isaac
Hull as first lieutenant. took the Constitu-
ton as his flagship She carried 400 officers
and men. Each enlisted man had twenty

his hammock. and that on an unventilated
dack near the water line. Air could only

breeze. The officers had hunks on the
lower part of the ship where there was
more room. but even they must have suf-
fered from overcrowding. The quarters in
the lower part of the Constitution are I'M
ventilated, and 1t would seem impossible
to live In them over night. Yet men oc-
cupied them and enjoyed life.
The CONSTITUTIONS first important service
was in the blockade of Tripoli, but her
greatest glory was her engagement with
La Guerrero, in the latter part of the year
1872, while returning from a trip to Europe
with specie for payment of interest due on
a debt to Holland. The Constitution pro-
ceeded to Portsmouth in order to com-
