cific waters, reaches Puget Sound
next June, the battleship or first-class
cruiser making the highest score at
target practice in Magdalena Bay will
be awarded a solid silver trophy,
valued at $500, presented by the
people of Spokane. The cup is to be
competed for annually by battleships
and cruisers of the first-class of the
entire American navy.
Albert E. Mead, governor of Wash
ington announces that he will parti-
cipate in the official reception to the
fleet upon it's arrival in Puget Sound
Invitations have also been forwarded
to the governors of adjoining states
to take part in the ceremonies and
acceptance of these are already as
sured from the executive of the Pa
cific states. The Spokane contingent
will travel to the Sound in a special
train, and it is expected there will
be hundreds of others in attendance
from various parts of the Spokane
country and elsewhere in the North
west.
AS a spectacle, the presence of the
fleet in Elliott Bay Will be the grsa =
est in the history of the Pacific north

ready tentatively approved the dis
position OF the fleet in the harbor,
and the huge horseshoe of cleaning

worth seeing in the daytime, bur at
night there will be brilliant illumina-

their powerful searchIights playing
upon the waters Of the bay and over
the fleet will make a novel aud inter-

be added displays OF fireworks to be
arranged by the people of the cities
on the Sound. and there will be re-
ceptions, balls and other entertain
ments for the officers and men Of the
fleet.
Just how long the fleet will remain
in Puget Sound has not yet been de-
termined, but it is safe TO say that
everyminute the ships remain the
men will not lack for entertainment.
Fifteen former residents of the Spo-
kane country are stationed on fhe
ships, and they and their comrades
are assured of the best the northwest
has to offer.
