The White Pine news. [volume] (Ely, Nev.) 1906-1910, 1909-09-25

WHITE PINE NEWS, SA
bFulton and his men on the CIermont,
will walk their Aeckst n the same
dress that they wore, the one three
hundred years and the other one
hundred years ago., Over their mast
heads during the week will fly air
ships and under the keels will bur-
row daily the tunnel trains of the
McAdoo system.
This is the way in which the Hud-
son-Fulton celebration proposes to
teach history and commemorate the
share that America has had in the
making of it. 1t will show by
pageant and parade and visual
demonstrations what were and
What WI have made ourselves. The
nations of the world have been in
vited to witness. Delegates are in
attendance from the governments of
Abyssinia and the Argentine Re-
public, from Austria Hungary,
Bolivia. Brazil, Chile, China,
Colombia, Costa RIGA, Cuba, Den
mark, England, Haiti, France and
so or down the alphabetical list of
all the nations of the world with
especial emphasis allotted the
Netherlands because of the promin-
ent part they played in forming the
early history of the territory in which
the celebration is being held. With
the exception of our own, England
and Germany have sent the most
notable contributions to the feet of
war vessels that will assemble in the
lower harbor. In this connection
General Stewart l.. Woodford, pres
ident of the Hudson-Fu1ton commits
sion has said:
I'VE are now assured of the larg-
est collection of war vessels aggregat
ing at least eighty, that has ever
been assembled in one place, with
the exception Of the rendezvous Of
British ships in the English Chan
mel. It will be the largest collection
of war vessels ever brought to-
gether on this side of the Atlantic
and the largest collection of an in
ternational character assembled any
where.
Supplementing the parades by land
uowh TIN VENUE, past d eiodI
white court OF stan erected opposite
the new NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. public
library, and the naval pageant of
historic and Illuminated floats OPP
posite the Riverside Park, there will
be thrown open during the celebra-
tion a great many of private and pub
lie collection Of historic interest. The
masterpieces gathered by the late
Maurice kann Will be shown here by
Duveen Brothers, and the private
purchases from the old Flemish, Hol-
land and German schools made by
j. p. Morgan and other connoisseurs
have been assembled and are now
open to public view in the galleries
of the Metropolitan Museum of Art.
The parades of street floats down
Fifth avenue and through the court
of honor, past the reviewing stands,
have been planned two years in adj
vance and worked out by a great
staff of artists, scnlptors, costumers
and designers, night and day, in a
specially designed factory. Captain
A. H. Stoddard, master of the Mardi

leans the carnival city of the world,
mas been rougn on TO New YORK
and placed in full charge of his
Speciality.
But impressive as the naval parade
will be, and colorful as will be the
pageants. there is no question but
that the greatest popular interest at
taches to the atrship flights that will
be made from Governors Island
'some time during the first week of
the celebration. Just what the per-
formance viii be must depend. or
the conditions of the atmosphere and
the willingness Of the aviators, but
the program calls for a flight from
Governors Island up the North River
across Manhattan Island In the
neighborhood of Spuyten .Duyvil and
down the East River, under or over
the four great steel bridges that now
span it, back to the starting point.
Nothing SO daring has ever been con-
templated, but both Wilbur Wright
and Glenn H. Curtiss, his most for
midable American competitor, have
signed contracts to attempt at least
