brave sailors who went down in Ha-
vana HarbOr fourteen years ago will
be remembered as long as the last
solemn memorial to the dead of the
Maine remains vivid in the minds of
the people of this generation.
There was one floral piece, however,
which attracted unusual attention dur
ing the ceremonies at the State, War.
ana Navy Building. 1t was a model
of the Maine, in fresh cut flowers, made
up by assembling with artistic effect
roses sweet peas. and violets resting
or a mass OF asparagus ferns, giving
the effect of ship at sea, and exc
cuted with the greatest skill and ac-
Curacy.
This magnificent floral tribute was
the contribution of the employees of
the United States naval gun factory
at the Washington Navy Yard.
The hull. of the miniature vessel
which rested peacefully and undis-
turbed on one of the thirty-four cais-
sons bearing the bones of the sacred
dead was one mass of flowers. and

The floral Maine was the handiwork
of the establishment of George c. Shaf-

northwest. Much labor and time were
spent in preparing this unusual floral
tribute. But the labor and time spent
by the skilled hands were well reward
ed when the finished product was
viewed by the thousands who gazed rev.
erently at the solemn caissons as they
crept along in the funeral cortege. The
floral Maine was the subject of COM
ment all along the line of march. In
front OF the State, War. and Navy
Building during the memorial exercises
the floral piece was probably admired
TO the greatest extent. Here thousands
were massed. and all eyes were turned
on the sacred caissons- ....
The Maine, which met a tragic fate
in Havana Harbor in 1898, will always
be remembered. The floral Maine of
