Patriotic Display in Miniature of Our War Ships. i When it was first announced that the Barnum Bailey Greatest Show on Earth wouM exhibit in this city, it was feared that the announcement was a little premature'. This was because of the enonnous number of ears used to transport the show and the probable lack of room in the yard, at the station of the road it comes over, to hold it.

Arrange ments have perfected, however, by winch side tracks be cleared for the sh'ow. When it is understood that these show trains require aetual'y--and this is no show talk, but fact--one and one-quarter miles of track to hold the cars wnen placed solidly together, it may be seen that this fear that it might cot be able to come here was well founded. Fortunately for the public, however, it wilt come on" the announced. The term "fortunately used advisedly for the reason that the Barnum Eai'ey show this year ia entirely different from anything that has ever been seen before in the show line in this city, not only in magnificence, bnt in general excellence. It surpas-es by far ail previous exhibitions- In it will be found a well- nigh innumerable ILst of new and exclusive features- Among them is one that merits more than passing attention.

It is the exhibit of eleven models of the United States warships. These models were constructed from the origina' plans of the real ships furnished by the narv department of the United States. It raay be easily understood that the government would not sanction an exhibit of this kind were it not a perfect one. It may likewise be understood that the government would not lend its endorsement to an exhibit merely as a feature of a traveling exhibition, and in fact it did r.ot' give aid to the project until the authorities at Washington ha'l been satis- tied thoroughly by Mr. Bailey that he had a patriotic purpose in making an ex- hibit of this sort.

Mr. Bailey was with his show on its tour through Europe. I which ended last fall, and which continued five years. During that time ot-cured the Spanish war. Mr.

and his I associates with the show learned then appreciate the euormou-5 value of the I American navy, not on'y to dm Span-' tyranny away from the Western hemisphere, but because of its trre.it mor- effect upon European countries.
