parties bound for the Jamestown ex-

Hampton Roads tomorrow will be the
occasion for a salute from the aggre-
cation of warships anchored in the
spectacular review, and the reporting
of the principal navies of the world.
The president is to play the leading
role in formally opening the exposition,
and the exercises are to begin as soon
as he arrives on the ground. The
features of the day are to be speech
by the president, and a parade of de-
tachments of the army and navy, con-
cluding in the evening with grand re-

military organizations which will par
ticipate in the parade. Notwithstand

from completion tomorrow. Temporary
railroad tracks, debris of all sorts and
unfinished sidewalks are the rule thru
out the grounds. While almost every
building is marred by the enclosure OF
scaffolding. Many buildings will not

ant in Hampton Roads. President
