fleets OF seven nations Joining In q
national salute from each OF the forty
vessels as President Roosevelt. stand
ing upon the bridge Of his official yacht,
Mayhower, steamed in view between
their columns on Hampton Roads Mon
day morning as the opening feature, the
day progressed with increasing pagean-
try until the climax came at night with
spectacular illuminate o. every
warsbip and hundreds Of pleasure craft
and the entire grounds and all build
ings Of the Exposition while scores OF
searchlights flashed their dazzling
beams across the blackness of the
heavens.
The editors we're put on board
special steamer which followed the
Presidents yacht through Hampton
Roads and when all the warships "let
loose" it surpassed any Fourth OF July
capnOnading we have ever heapd.
President Roosevelt delivered two
speeches, one In the forenoon to the
public in general from an immense
grandstand and the other in the after
noon in the auditorium to members OF
the National Editorial Association, the
Pennsylvania State Editorial Associ-

for reserved seats for both speeches and
the editor OF THE STAR was fortunate
enough to get seats close to the speak
er's stand both times and could distinct
ly hear every word.
In the midst OF the Georgia Day
speech the President stopped for min
ute, smiled, bowed and waved his hand.
He then apologized by saying that some
man in the vast crowd bad held up
twin babies for him to notice and he
had TO stop bis speech long enough to
take notice Of them
