NAVAL DISPLAY.
A Celebration of How the Navy Did
without Help From the Soldiers.


without Help From the Soldiers.
The Jack tars are making great
preparations for a brilliant show at
Toledo. and they feel that they have
unusual reasons for this, since they
recall how the Navy "a years ago, un-
der Commodore Perry, destroyed the
British fleet and gave success to the
Army by Commodore Perry's brilliant
victory on Lake Erie. With his little
fleet Perry destroyed every hope of
British supremacy, and did 1t without
the aid of the 10000 American soldiers
at Forts Sandusky and Meigs. General
Orders, No. 8, from John b. Writ, Com
modore commanding, says:
THE preliminary plans provide for
representative floats (automobiles), the
first one representing ship manned by
bluejackets. The next auto float will
carry 46 young ladies to represent the
46 States of the Union, each dressed in
navy blue blouses and caps. The Terri
tories will be represented by young Ia
dies also dressed in naval uniform. The
Kearsarge will be represented by an
auto float manned by our old shipmates,
some of the crew that manned this his
toric old ship on that beautiful SURE day
morning, at two bells, o'clock, June
10, 1864, when she engaged in the
grand naval sea duel with the Confed-
crate steamer Alabama, off Cherbourg,
and sent her to the bottom of the sea.
The next auto float will represent the
old East Indiaman La Diras rechris-
tened Bon Homme Richard, with a ship
mate to represent John Paul Jones.
THE following auto float will repre-
sent the New Navy that famous fleet
of 16 battleships under Rear-Admiral
Bob Evans, that is steaming around the
world by the way of the Straits of
wonder of the naval powers of the
world and the admiration of the Amer
lean people.
"As my plans for the Naval Veteran
parade mature it is probable that other
auto floats may be added to the pageant.
Invitations will be extended to the ma
val attaches of the Foreign Legations
at Washington and the commanders of
any foreign vessels of war that may be
in our harbors in September. 1t is also
my purpose to extend invitations to
the commanding officers of the naval
militia of the several States, as well as
the officers and men of our Revenue1
Cutter Service, who have always dis
played a glorious devotion to the flag
In time of war and standing shoulder
to shoulder with their shipmates in the
Navy. Their records are a bright spot
on the page of history, not only of the
civil war, but the last one, and we wei
come them to our ranks at all times
with fraternal greetings and admira-
ton for their services in the past and
the certainty of their loyalty in times
to come"

J. F. Linton, 39th ILL.,, Columbus.
Ohio, wrote for the Ottawa Ull) Repub-
lican-Times some interesting remi-
niscences of Lincoln for the celebra-
ton of the 50th anniversary of the be-
ginning of the debate between Lincoln
and Douglas. Comrade Linton met
Lincoln several times, and he claims
some consideration for being member
of the only Illinois infantry regiment
in the Army of the Potomac While
the regiment was lying at Falmouth,
Lincoln paid it a neighborly visit, and
treated all the boys as If they were
his cousins. Comrade Linton denies
that Lincoln was uncouth and awkward.
He thought him an exceptionally good
looking man, symmetrically developed
physically, mentally and morally, and
was very Self-poSSeSsed and easy in his
manners. In reality, he was a physi-
cally strong man. in as much as the
pioneer life had its compensations, and
gave a man a better education in some
respects than present day conditions
He had mingled from his youth up with
the best class of men, had served three
terms in the Legislature, and had shown
himself so much of man as to be
chosen by his party to represent it on
the stump in opposition to Douglas,
who then had a national reputation.
When only 81 years old. his district,
which was normally Democratic, sent
him to Congress as Wing, and he
was the only Wing elected from ILL
nois President Fillmore offered him
the GOvernorship of Oregon, and he
was his party's choice for the Senate
twice and for Vice President once No
President ever gave us ADLER State pa
pers and none has enriched our language
with such gem as the Gettysburg
Address. Had Lincoln been a college
bred man, he might not nave been the
orator that he was. Comrade Linton
was the editor of the first daily paper
in La Sale County. ILL.,, and he proposes
to return to the County to attend the
celebration which will take place Aug.
81.

Capt. Hand entertained his comrades

Willis was a slight favorite on the

lots of hackers. The matches betw cen
