the first British settlement in Amer

salute of 800 guns by the United

review of the international fleet OF
war vessels anchored in Hampton
Roads, through the ceremonies OF ded'

and down to a late hour at night when
the chief executive went aboard the
naval yacht Sylph to spend the night,
the day was crowded with notable In.

Notable among the days events
was the action of the president in as
suming command of the situation in
front of the crowded grand stand
from which he spoke when panic
seized the surging throng OF specta'
tors. Pressed against the guard
ropes by thousands of eager persons,
the safety of those who had the more
favorable positions was endangered.
President Roosevelt had just been In
troduced by Harry st. George Tucker,
head of the exposition company, when
the disorder and unrest in the crowd
reached it's height and the civil guards
in front of the grand stand seemed
about to be swept from their posts.
The president jumped upon the table

was threatening the lives of the wo-

warning.
Apparently obvious to the unusual
position he occupied on the top of a
somewhat shaky table, President
Roosevelt made his speech. The i'm

most deadly enemies. The ultimate
purpose of this peculiar campaign Is
to tame" those little insects until
they can be transported about the
country to do deadly battle against
the Hessian fly.
Whenever these two enemies getto
gether, there Is no trouble to get
them to fighting. Under> natural CON

the Hessian fly is frequently at great
distances from the nearest brigade Of
the opposing army, and is consequent
