thus observing the memories of
those who have died on the seas in

Promptly at the appointed hour,
Mr.. Whitney appeared at the Her

quantity of similar contributions
from local florists. was conveyed
down the river to Old Point Com

it was launched by w. ]. l-arrabee,

Ever since May 80. 1902. Mr.
Whitney has observed the custom
of thus honoring the memories of
those who had died lighting for the
flag at sea. and each time for six
SuiNNoSlNS hoS SNh-
structed a small boat with his own
hands to be uset for this purpose.
Each year since Mr.. whitney con-
ceived the idea the President has
contributed a share OF the floral Of

come recognized as a part of the
regular order at the White House.
The first boat built by Mr.. Whit

ed the Oregon" out OF respect for
the famous Bulldog of the Navy"
which created SO much havoc with
the Spanish feet at the battle of
Santiago. The same relative size
has been maintained in subsequent
constructions, but each year the
boat has been given different
name.
