The naval features of the exhibition
will be the greatest and most impressive
ever witnessed. Crack battleships and
cruisers representing foreign nations from
Brazil and Chile to Japan will be present
during the entire period of the exposition
and the United States will have from
IS to 20 battleships, beside numerous
cruisers and torpedo boats. At no time
during the exposition will there be fewer
than 100 warships, either riding grace
fully at anchor or engaged ia elaborate
maneuvers. One feature of the naval
display that will arouse deep interest
will be a realistic reproduction of the

which the government has appropriated
$4,000.
