Jamestown Exposition, Va., AnriJ.'
87. The second day of the James
town Exposition was spent on the
wate;r"instead of on land, by thou
sands of flfleitors to the big show, t
On land there was nothing to see
save unfinished buildings, incomplete
exhibits and stretches of unpaved
streets on watchthe dust lay an inch
deep. On the water there wero the
battleships' of the. nations, .ttyelr masts
and rigging transformed 'nto u wil-
uei uess oi nags ana ounung. .
Oh the decks of these dogs-of-wjft-the
seamen and marines marched and
executed orders, the sunlight shining
gaily on their arms and accoutre
ments. The sea craft of the neigh
boring cities carried the visitors to
the very mouths of the cannon of the
warships, and cruised up and down
the triple line of the monster fighters
"from early "morning throughout- the-
day;. rr-;c- :K,
y Gay Xife 6m the Water.,
Steamers', sailing vessels, launches
and row-boats were in even' greater
demand 4oday than they were yester
day. I On the opening day the crowds
were landed at tho grounds and left
thero for; the day's exercises. Today
they dldi not wish to go to the
grounds, and midday lunches and
picnics in the harbor were the rule.
The maritime sight . was grander
today than yesterday. ! Every hour
the launches- from the warships car
ried uniformed officers to and fro.
The military bands played the na
tional airs, the strains floating across
the waters to the plney shores where
300 years ago tho only known racej
was the Indians. Women, gowned in
bright spring costumes, tripped up
the ladders from the water line to
the deck of the battleships. Every
where there was brilliant color, music
and the atmosphere of festivity.
However slow the exposition work
has proceeded, there is po doubt that
after the show Virginia will have an
other town. The Jamestown Exposi
tion will not end with-the fair that
lasts from spring -to autumn. When
the gates are closed the Old Dominion
will awake to the fact that by the
grace of government appropriations
and citizens" subscriptions another
town has arisen on her soil.
The work though slow,, is well
done The grounds are laid out like
a city. There are streets, boulevards
and alleys. There are sewer, gas,
water and electric lighting systems.
There' are building lines and a telephone-central
office. There are two
immense hotels, one inside the
grounds and one without the inelos-1
ure. There is a multitude of smaller I
hotels outside the grounds.
Two electric car lines connect the
grounds with tho neighboring, clttes.
An excellent pier for the. landing or
passengers and freight from the
steamers of deep draught is being
rapidly constructed.
There were several minor func
tions on the exposition grounds to
day. At noon the . Maryland state's
commission . formally, opened the
Maryland building. At 1 o'clock this j
arternoon vn uonnectieut, buiiumg j
was "opened and a reception given by ;
