In the name OF the State OF New Jersey Gov
ernor Edward c. Stokes yesterday afternoon
presented a silver service to the battleship New
Jersey as she lay off 96th street. in the North
River. The service was accepted by Captain
w. W. Kimbarl in a speech. I'm which he spoke
OF the gallantry of his officers and men. despite
the fact that most of them have committed the
objectionable error of not having been born in
New Jersey"
The service consists of fifty-eight separate
pieces. and bought by the state from Tif-
fany at a cost of $4,000 1t was laid out on

guns of the after turret. on each side Of which
the sailors and marines maSsed.
In presenting the service to the officers of the
ship Governor Stokes spoke at length upon
the part New Jersey has played in the wars OF
this nation. In speaking of the naval heroes
of whom New Jersey boasts he mentioned Com
modore Lawrence Kearny. who distinc-
tion in the suppression of pirates in the Grecian
Archipelago; Captain Charles Stewart. "Old

mont reached there by the overland route. thus
giving to the navy the honor of conquering and
holding the Golden State"
In his speech accepting the service, Captain
Kimball, after enumerating. the various number
of uses TO which the silverware could be put,
said that it would also make "a handsome
trophy for some brave enemy But this com
pany of men is obstinate lot Even IL 1t
should seem convenient thing for me TO accept
a request to hand over this ship TO some gallant
enemy, I would encounter difficulties in the
shape and build of these officers and men you
see standing around here"
CAPTAIN Kimball then said that his men had
the falling of getting IN trouble shore. To
illustrate this. he read complaint" which had
Just reached him. The letter was one pralslng
the bravery of several sailors from the New
Jersey when the steamboat Tennessee ran down
a sailing vessel some days ago.
"These men will be looked up you may be
sure" said the captain. "and they will get their
proper 'punishment'-or something else which
is proper"
