3s ISTINCTIONS are crowding upon the battleship Utah. Not only is 33 
83 she one of the two largest battleships in the navy, but she is the 38 
3 possessor of the finest silver service ever presented by an American 33 
33 state to its naval namesake. Moreover, it is safe to say that no mess- 38 
$$ room has ever had a thirst quenching apparatus that has excited more com- % 
s¢ ment than this same silver service, and all because its decorations include a 33 
$ picture of Brigham Young. In the height of the controversy which raged over 3% 
33 the presentation of silver so decorated it was declared that the representa- 3% 
$3 tion of the Mormon apostle’s statue implied the recognition and approval of BS: 
#2 all his teachings, including that of polygamy. The explanation offered by the 33 
as donors is that the Young statue appears in the scheme of decoration because = 
*> the Pioneer monument which it surmounts is one of the sights of Utah. The ve 
*3 navy department has also accepted the gift of another silver tray, not bearing 3 
33 the picture of Brigham Young, to take the place, if the Utah’s officers wish, 33 
a of the one so decorated, so that they now have two handsome trays instead 3 
$$ of one. There are 129 pieces in the original set, the most important of which 3% 
$ is the punch bowl. The punch cups represent each a county in the state, its 3 
*s identity being established by a characteristic scene engraved upon it. Thirty $3 
os thousand school children joined with the citizens of Utah in the purchase of 33 
es +, 
#3 the gift for the battleship. The principal feature of the presentation cere- 32 
3: monies, which took place at the New York navy yard, was the unveiling of 3g 
33 the service—that is, the drawing aside of the American flag which screened 3%
