His audience was very unfriendly.
They howled at the gigantic Clapp,
laughed at him, threw things at him

Finally Clapp stopped and looked at
the chairman.

An interesting feature Of the Jamestown
Exposition Will be the collection Of his
toric ships. among them the Constella-
ton. which has made a name for Itself
or which every American citizen Is Justly
proud. AT Newport the Constellation is
doing duty as a training ship. The Con-
stellation is 176 feet In length and forty
two feet In width. and has a normal
load draught OF 1870 tons. The CotFtel-
lation Is chiefly noted for the complete
ness with which, under Truxtun, she
whipped the French frigate IiInsurgente,
and later the Berceau.
Tho Richmond and Franklin, two old
wooden ships. the former built Or COM
pleted In 1858 at the Portsmouth navy
yard and the latter in Kttrey. Maine,
in 1865, are now both doing duty as
receiving ships at the Portsmouth, Va,
ravyyards, and Will no doubt be Wis.,

them will be exact reproductions OF the

ships that took place in 1862 will be
fought in mimic on the very spot where
they met in deadly combat in Hamp-
ton Roads. right In front OF the EXPOSE
