lantic fleet, and Lieut.. Commander Long,
commanding the Mayfower.
When the Mayfower hove to the President
received on board Gov. Terrell of Georgia
and with him President Mitchell of the
Georgia state commission, Secretary of the
Navy Metcalf and his party, consisting
of Mrs. Metcalf, Postmaster General and
Mrs Meyer, Miss Chabot and George w.
Vanderbilt and Mrs. Vanderbilt, who came
down to Norfolk yesterday on the Dolphin.
Made Two Speeches.
During the day he made two speeches,
one as a part of the Georgia day exercises,
and the other at the convention Of the Ma
tional Editorial Association in the audi
torium. In the first he discussed chiefly the
employers liability law, and in the latter
he devoted his greatest thought to the
reclamation service and the proposed in
herltance tax law. He reviewed the parade
of the military and naval forces, visited
the negro exhibits, participated in the pres
entation of a silver service by the state of
Georgia to the battleship named for her,
attended a reception given at the Georgia
building by Georgians alone, in honor of
himself and Mrs. Rooveselt, and visited
informally the New York state building. He
will depart for Washington at about )
o'clock
The weather provided another Roosevelt
day.
No "Warpath.'
Every part of the exposition grounds. ex-
cept the "Warpath," was covered by the
President in his strenuous day. The New
York building and the Georgia building and
negro exhibit are situated at the extreme
opposite ends of the grounds, and the re-
viewing stand and the auditorium, where
the speeches were made, are in about the
center of the grounds. The reservation
was thronged with the greatest attendance
since the opening of the exposition, and the
President was given reception fully as
enthusiastic as that accorded him on the
occasion of his first visit.
1t q distinguished party that re-
viewed the assembled war vessels from the
Mayfiower. Immediately upon the arrival
of that vessel the party of Secretary of the
Navy Metcalf was transferred from the
Dolphin. The others to join the President
were Gov ]. NJ. Terrell of Georgia and
w. NJ Mitchell of the Georgia state COM
mission.
Passing over the same course as when he
visited the exposition on the opening day,
the President reviewed the fleets of seven
nations six in addition to the United States.
The sea fighters We're in gala attire, the
flags of the different countries represented
making striking picture. AS the May
flower steamed down the long column of
vessels each in turn greeted the President,
who occupied the bridge of his trim yacht,
with salute of twenty lone guns. The for
eign vessels had the positions of honor in
| a line nearest and parallel to the eXposi-
| ton grounds, and were reached hrst by
| the Mayfiower, SO that their guns were the
| first to be heard in sounding their saluta-
ton. Either black or dark drab, the YES
| sells of Austria-Hungary, Brazil, France,
Italy, the Netherlands and Portugal APP
| peared in sharp contrast to the Atlantic
fleet of thrty-three vessels under the COM
| mand of Rear Admiral Evans, these ships
| being dressed in the usual peace paint of
| white for the bulls and buff for the super
| structure. The five American torpedo boat
| destroyers We're in dark green, and this
| caused many persons to believe they be-
longed to the foreign representation
The French Vessels.
| First in line We're the French vessels, con-
| sisting of the armOred cruisers kleber and
| Victor Hugo and the unprotected cruiser
Chasseloup-Loubat, under command of
| Rear Admiral Thierry Next in order were
the Netherlands cruiser Gelderland, under
command of>G&1pt. Won Asbeck; the Brazil
ian battleship Riachuelo and cruisers Bar

arte Huet de Bacellar as ranking officer;
