THE AMERICAN NAVAL SHOW. 



Over 300 men were at work in Madison 

 Square Garden for over a month before 

 the opening of the American Naval Show 

 which is now running there, and which is 

 delighting thousands of people every after- 

 noon and night. 



The entire arena of the Garden was trans- 

 formed into a basin holding 1,600,000 gal- 

 lons of water, in the construction of which 

 '68 tons of lead were used. 



The idea of the show is to create and 

 produce an entirely original entertainment 

 with historically correct reproductions of 

 every one of the American and Spanish 

 War Ships that have taken part in the late 

 Naval engagements. The various inci- 

 dents that occurred at Key West, the 

 bringing into port of Spanish prize ships, 

 the battle of Manila, the return of the Bat- 

 tleship Oregon from her extraordinary 

 voyage, the entrance of the Spanish Fleet 

 into Santiago bay, the arrival of the Amer- 

 ican Squadron, the blowing up of the Mer- 

 rimac, the sortie and annihilation of the 

 Spanish Fleet by Sampson's Squadron and 

 other incidents of interest that may occur 

 from time to time during the run of the 

 said show at Madison Square Garden. 



A miniature fleet, being actual reproduc- 

 tions of. the American and Spanish fleets, 

 with the most ingenious mechanism, has 

 been constructed for this production, in- 

 cluding perfect working models, varying 

 from 12 to 25 feet in length, of the Oregon, 

 Indiana, Iowa, New York, Brooklyn, Mas- 

 sachusetts, Texas, Montgomery, Marble- 

 head, Hudson, Olympia, Boston, Balti- 

 more, Raleigh, Concord, Petrel, McCul- 

 loch, Vesuvius and a number of dispatch, 

 torpedo and other boats. Also the Cristo- 

 bal Colon, Vizcaya, Maria Teresa, Oquen- 

 do, Reina Mercedes, Furore, Terror, Reina 

 Cristina, Castilla, Isle de Cuba, Isle de 

 Mendador,' General Lezo, Marquis del 

 Duero, as well as all the other Spanish 

 vessels of note which have taken part in 

 the later events. 



The entire cost of the show was nearly 

 $100,000. 



Two commercial travellers, comparing 

 notes. " I have been out 3 weeks," said the 

 first, " and have only got 4 orders." 



" That beats me," said the other; " I have 

 been out 4 weeks and have only got one 

 order, and that's from the firm, to come 

 home."— Tit-Bits. 1 



Well, said the Spaniard, as he turned 

 in for his siesta, " there's no use of our bor- 

 rowing trouble." 



" I know it," replied the Minister of Fi- 

 nance. " But it's the only thing we can get 

 without collateral."— -Washington Post.

Two Irishmen were fishing in a river, 

 when it began to rain. With his line in his 

 hand, one of them stepped under the arch 

 of a neighboring bridge. 



" You can't fish there," said his compan- 

 ion : " you won't get a bite." 



" Whist, now," cried Pat, " don't you 

 know all the fishes will flock under here to 

 get in out of the rain? " — Tit-Bits.
