ships, while all America joined.in one grand hur-
rah for a navy that was admittedly one Of the
best on the seven seas.
The American navy is still among the BEST but
the ships that were fought by Dewey and by
Sampson and by Schey longer figured in
the lineup that makes the great fleet under COM
mand of Rear Admiral Badger one of the most
powerful fighting organizations the world has
ever seen.
Every one of the famous ships Of 1898 is today
officially admitted to be obsolete and all of them
put together would not be powerful as is the
giant superdreadnaught Wyoming or the Arkan-
sas, or the Florida, or the Utah, any one of
which would be match for all the ships that
fought under Dewey and Sampson combined If
such test should be made.
Just year ago the then secretary OF the navy,
George l.. Meyer publicly called attention to
the fact that the American navy had more than
its full quota of battleships whose day in the
first line had passed and the places of which
would have to be taken by more modern ships of
the Wyoming and Florida classes if the United
States to retain it's position as the worlds
second naval power. The other day the Observa-
tion of the ex-naval secretary was recalled by
naval officer in New York. who took pencil and
pad and, going back fifteen and twenty and
twenty-five years, figured out just what the obso.
lete ships now adornng the naval lists originally
cost the United States government.
1t ridculously easy, the computation of
that total value or famous ships that are ready
to die naval death Of old age. The result was
astounding and when at last the navy man wiped
his brow and announced the result of that little
mathematical feat of his he had proved that the
value of those ships, some Of them still less than
dozen years old, reached the stupendous total
of more than $1OO,OOO0OO, or, to be exact,
$129932,S14

the Saratoga the name given SIMPSONS old flag
ship New York when her name was taken so
that 1t could be given to the mighty superdread-
naught New York, now nearing completion in the
navy yard in Brookyn Schley's flagship, the
Brooklyn; the Olympia from the bridge of which
Dewey uttered his famous order to Captain Grid
ley, "You may fire when ready, >Gridley;" the
Iowa, that Bob" Evans ship in 1898; the
Indiana, and the Massachusetts, sister ships,
which won fame and glory before Santiago, and
the Oregon which the plaudts of an admir-
ing world by her great run around the Horn, and
which in her old age will probably be given the
honor of being the first American war vessel to
pass through the Panama canal in April Of next
year
Then, of course, there the old Texas, the

dant will need to be constantly on
the lookout to see that the animal
maintains his position. One frequent
t. sees at county fairs men bringing in
good horses, and standing with their
hands in their pockets while allow
ing the horses to stand down on one
side with their heads at one side, in
no way showing off their points as
good horses. Neither the owner nor
the horse in such case shows at his
best
The horse led into the show ring
should always have good bride, and
never should be brought in with just
2 halter. as it is impossible to handle
a horse properly without a bride.
The colt should be taught to lead
properly to show his action to good
advantage. He should learn to walk
or trot up by the side of the attendant
and pull forward on the lead rein, not
backward. The attendant should
hold the horse with but one foot of
rein between his hand and the bit.
In trotting the colt to the bride it
should be taught to step up in good
shape, and pull forward on the rein
instead Of backward. In teaching the
colt to trot for show, the attendant
must run beside the horses shoulder
always keeping step with the horse.
An attendant who stumbles along in
his own gait cannot be expected to
make the horse travel at his best.
Attention to these points will make
a world of difference in the appear
ance of the horse in the ring 1t will
make a poor horse look better, and
