The Squadrons of Many Na tions on Parade. EEVIEW IN NEW YORK HABBOR. Description of the Principal Vessels of th United States, Great Britain, Spain. France, Germany, Italy, Rossi a and Bra zil President Cleveland to Pass Them In Review A Festival of Peace. Unkes all signs fail and all naval author ities are at fault, New York city is soon to vvitness the most unique naval display noted in history. Not in size nor in magnificence will it be unique. The Spanish Armada waa very much larger. Ordinary naval reviews ct' European fleets are more impressive in the number and armament of the vessels. Yet it will be unique and interesting be- UNITED STATES FLAGSHIP PHILADELPHIA. cause the picked vessels of many nations will join in commemoration ofthe quadri- centennial of Columbtis, and the president cf the great republic will pass in review the warships of the world- ' In a sense it will be a peace congress of the world's navies. No such assemblage has hitherto been, and it is much to be feared that no such array of naval armaments in friendly rivalry will soon bo seen again.

BRITISH FLAGSHIP BLAKE. In pddition to these It is probable that tbf dpv? cruiser, the New York, which has I -roved herself to hi1 the fas test cruiser in t;,M wnHd at bf -ri J trip off DeJarrre The THE NAVAL tfeakwater, will Be ordered to join the American forces. And still this cold array of names mid figures gjves but a faint idea of the solid magnificence of the new American navy. The reader who ha not kept himself in formed of our progress for the last 10 years can have no idea of the rapidity with which our reproach among nations has been taken away, and how near we txre to our old pre- eminence in the times when Decatur thun- : dered against Algiers, and Hull, Lawrence, j Porter and others boldly challenged the mistress of the se;is. But a few figures on this point will be given later, Next in display to the United States will come Great Britain, of course. She has in the?e seas eight great warships, but only five are certain to be in this review. Of thee the greatest aud, as some English authorities have maintained, the best in the world, all things considered is the fa mous Blake. In tonnage she outranks all United States ships. She is a protected cruiser and is of 0,000 tons displacement. She is 375 feet in length, with a beam of tf5 feet. She floats in 20 feet of water and has tific-'dly perfect. She is propelled by twin screws, driven by four distinct sets of triple expansion, inverted cylinder engines, placed in fear separate compartments, two sets being coupied together on the port and star board sides respectively for driving each screw. No damage to one set in action can interfere with the other, and similarly each gun has its owu independent supply, so that the ex pic sj on of cue ear. Lave i.o efiltct on another. Imagine, if you can, this vast floating fortress cf the sea vomiting over 000 pounds of solid metal from each side at every shot and nearly as much more from bow and stern. After the Blake the other British ships seem small indeed.
