A Fine Sham Battle.

Not only the land, but likewise the
water, is historic The battle between
the Merrimac and the Monitor was
fought just off the exposition grounds.
Uncle Sam has made special appro-
priation Of $4,000 to reproduce that
famous naval engagement. Dummy
ships corresponding in aspect to the
Yankee cheese box, with it's revolving
turret, and to the ironclad Merrimac,
or Virginia, as she was called by the
Confederates, are to be constructed.
The sham battle promises to supply
spectacle which will put all other pyro-
technic displays into a dense shade.
Right across the way is Fortress Mon
roe, where Jefferson Davis was i'm
prisoned after the war. Rising from
the waters Of the Roads is the famous
Rip Raps fort, originally named after
John q. Calhoun. Not far away is the
Norfolk navy yard, still another ''pick
up as an attraction for the exposition
visitor.
In fact, both land and water all in
and around the grounds of the exposi-
ton simply seethe with history, and
the sort Of history which we read
about in books. There have been expo
sitions bigger in themselves than this,
but none so attractive in it's outlying
features. Even the dull spirit that
knows nothing Of history and cares
less must EARN by absorption when
visiting this fair, and this is by no
means the least valuable thing about It.

Southeast Virginia is internationally
historical. Hardly fifteen miles from
the Jamestown site, even then de-
serted ruin, Lord CORVALLIS surrender
ed to George Washington, and York
town ended the war for American in
dependence. During the civil war the
contending armies fought over every
mile of that territory. The land along
the York and James rivers from the
exposition site up to Richmond is
strung with battlefields where were
fought some of the fercest conflicts Of
the war. The exposition people know
a good thing when they see it lying
around loose, and they have picked up
this "htstoric association" plum and
polished it for it's full enticement to
the visitor.
