Differing from all other celebrations In that the industrial and commercial features, though full and adequate, are subordinate to the historical the. poetical and the spectacular; the Jamestown exposition offers, refresh ing contrast to its predecessors. While adequate in every industrlai and commercial feature, it's eminence will rest upon other grounds. Tne highest triumphs of human invention and art will all have presentation, put even these must take second place pc side the attractions which VIII dls' unguish the exposition.
 It is estimated that at no time dur ing the progress of this celebration will there be less than 10000 soldiers camped about the grounds or tne Jamestown exposition, making Of 1t . field of modern chivalry and proHer- ing a picture of triumphant peace to all the people of the world. Underlying this display of material paraphernalia and the pomp of pow CT, there is a crowning appeal to the heart of American patriotism in Its historical and sentimental signifi- canoe. The Jamestown of old has vanished. The history of Americas founders is written on the hearts of the nation. It was pathetically weak household divided against itself and the miracle of its survival is revealed in the dauntless spirit of Capt. John Smith, man who builded better than he knew and blazed the pathway for a nations feet.
 The picture of the pilgrim band, with all its history of tumultuous trial and triumph, now stands revealed be- meath the mellowing touch of time. Smith, Percy, Rolfe. Newport, Cos mold, Laydon. Anna Bussas; all have passed away. Powhatan and Poca- hontas; and all the great red host that looked on them-they too. have faded. Like beacon lights far set down times relentless tide, they sig nal back to the pathos, and the pow CT, and the pride that was their DOT tion; and of which the first alone re- mains.
 It will be observed that the James town exposition not only includes every feature of Its predecessors. but will in addition have many original ones possible to 1t alone.

The most. popu lar exhibit of the worlds fair at Chi cago was an imitation warship bull upon piles in the lake. The James , town exposition will offer its visitor, 50 or more of the finest ships of al nations; each one its ovn little work of fascinating life and animation
