The Superior times. [volume] (Superior, Wis.) 1870-1912, 1907-03-09

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 Industrial
and commercial feature, its eminence
will rest upon other grounds Inc
highest triumphs of human Invention
and art will all have presentation, but
even these must take second place De
side the attractions which Will dis
tinguish the exposition.
1t is estimated that at no time dur
ing the progress of this celebration
will there be less than 10000 soldiers
camped about the grounds of the
jamestown exposition, making or II
a field of modern chivalry and proffer-
ing a picture Of triumphant peace 10
all the people of the world.
Underlying this display of material
paraphernalia and the pomp OF pow
err. there is browning appeal to the
heart of American patriotism in its
historical and sentimental slgnih-
canoe. The jamestown of old has
vanished. The history Of Americas
founders Is written on the hearts OF
the nation. 1t was a pathetically weak
household divided against itself aAd
the miracle of its survival is revealed
in the dauntless spirit of Capt. John
Smith, a 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 trlal
and triumph, now stands revealed be-
meath the mellowing touch of time
Smith, Percy, Rolfe, Newport, Cos
mold, Layton, 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
er, and the pride that was their por-
ton; and of which the first alone re-
mains.
1t 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 it alone.
The greatest naval rendezvous in
American history.
Spectacular international military
parades and drills b. the picked
troops of different countries.
Magnificent marine effects and
dazzling harbor illumination.
Greatest gathering of palatial steam
yachts.
Drills and contests by sailors of all
nations.
Actual naval battles between Mer
rimac and Monitor.
Yacht racing and every form of wa
ter sport.
Sea bathing and sports at al
grounds.
Greatest assemblages of naval, mill
tary and other bands, making it the
musical exposition par excellence.
The greatest and most artistic piel
IN America.
A new and intensely interesting wa
ter tournament, devised for the occa
sion.
Dirigible air vessels in demonstra
tions and contests.
"A portion of the victorious Japan
eee feet with some OF leading com

British battleship Dreadnaught
worlds largest and most formidable
sea fighter.
Two hundred Indians and cowboy
with herd of buffalo, making the great
est wild west show ever exhibited.
Spectacular drama OF "Pochahon
tas," by Norfolk author and said tc
be Of great merit and elegance.
From this it will be observed that
the eminence Of the exposition viii
rest upon its unparalleled situation or
the sea- and the imposing spectacular
effects OF its great military, marine
and naval pageantry. 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:
80 or more of the finest ships Of al
nations each orc is own little world
Of fascinating life and animation.
Every foreign country has signifleC
It's intention Of sending ships. Sew
yral Of he leading nations Will be rep
resented by whole fleets. Il is tht
resented by whole fleets.
