Z Old Point Comfort, Va, sFeb.s 49,
Half way across the Atlantic ocean on
the last long reach of their Spectacular
cruise arond. the u world, the sixteen
battleship, Of the United State Allan
tic. Fleet, steaming today in leisure
" fashion towards the anchorage
grounds Of Hampton Roads from
whence they sailed Just fourteen months
ago. During these months of record
steaming the heavily armored fighting
vessels have travelled approximately
rs, 900 miles and are returning in condi-
ton still fit for, "a frolic or a fight. ="
The cruise has been veritable expe-
dition Of the seven seas and tasks here
tofore deemed impossible for the mod
erns ironclad have been accomplished
with an ease bordering on the tbs, co pm;
monplace. " E.'~ e..
&. The stories Of the cruise have been
succeeding chapters Of receptions, ban
quets, balls and merrymaking, but back
of all this relaxation and entertaining in
the slospitable ports Of the two hen1i-
spheres Has been test of men and ma
terial which has placed the American
navy in an enviable position before all
the world. The engine room efficiency

facility of following the motions Of the
flagship in the feet, squadron and d.
visional maneuvers which came with
constant experience at sea, and above
all the marvellous records made at the
Target in Magdalena and Manila bays

accomplishments that have marked this

among the ravies of the world.
The previously arranged schedule Of
the journeys from port to port had
been adhered to, in remarkable man.

these lapses from punctuality the feet
has made some of its longest runs two
whole days ahead of time, None of the
undertakings imposed upon the ships or
the men has been too difficult. The
cruise, however, was not inaugurated
without serious misgivings at home and
abroad Victor H Metcalf Of Califor-
mia was secretary of the navy when the
cruise began After the ships had set
sail from Manila with homeward bound
.:pennants flying, Mr.. Metcalf said:
when the purpose Of giving this as
sssemblage Of battleships ID the privileges
and advantages Of 4 practical cruise was
announced, criticisms from high tech
meal quarters were heard. twas sug-
53gested that the undertaking was too
monumental that a battleship is too
vast and complicated piece Of mechan-
ism to send around the globe on any
ordinary occasions: that dangers more
than multiplied with numbers in such a

merged ledge. and was borne on every
unknown tidal current; that the skele-

Judge Harman.

Dir. Thos. L. Harman, of our town,
has been appointed magistrate of the
Lexington district, to succeed Mr.. G.
A. Derrick, whose time has expired,
and who refused to have the place un-
der any consideration. Mr.. Derrick
has made one of the best magistrates
the county has ever known. During
his term of Office he has not been re-
versed by the circuit court but once.
It will be re called that Mr. I. =.
Campbell was the only candidate who
offered for the place in the primary
last summer. he did not receive more
than about one-third of the votes cast
and it is supposed that this was the
cause of his appointment being held
up. Mr.. Harman is a capable gentle
man and will no doubt hold the reins
