THE BATTLE OF LAKE ERIE. 
 
 By HENRY WATTERSON. 
 
 First Vice-President General of the Inter-Stale Board. 
 
 WHATEVER we may or may not be, we Americans 
 can scarcely be called a memorializing people. We 
 seem indeed readier to accept the self-assertion of 
 the living than to erect monuments to the dead. Long ago 
 Barnnm, the showman, discovered that even as the average 
 Englishman dearly loves a lord does the average Yankee 
 dearly love a humbug. It is to the women of our land that 
 we are indebted for the stately shaft in honor of Washington 
 which towers over the National Canital, as well as for the 
 ownership of Mount Vernon. Latterly Lincoln has been 
 coming to a proper recognition. But when we look for visi- 
 ble signs of the saints and sages, the heroes and martyrs of 
 other days, we discover that they are few and far between 
 and very hard to find. 
 
 In Europe, go where you will, you may not come upon a 
 village or hamlet that boasts not some expression of pious 
 hi image and local pride in bronze or marble, some "storied 
 urn or animated bust," recalling the life and deeds of the 
 great man who was born there, whilst the parks, the streets 
 and the public places of the cities and towns are everywhere 
 ennobled and beautified by the imagery, inspired by the 
 nomenclature of the past, vitalizing history and educating and 
 elevating the people.

Around the Great Lakes, as we call our inland oceans, 
 with Chicago, the world-famous, for an axis, flanked hy Mil- 
 waukee, the Queen City of Wisconsin, and Detroit, the Fairy 
 Goddaughter of Michigan— sailing from Duluth to Buffalo- 
 tarrying awhile at Toledo and Sandusky and Erie — shame 
 upon them !— we look, with a single exception, in vain for 
 some evidence that less than an hundred years ago there lived 
 a man named Oliver Hazard Perry, and. save as a fishing 
 resort, that there is, or ever was a place called Put-in-Bay. 
 
 All honor to the single exception ! In Cleveland, that 
 miracle of modern progress, which carries Ohio"s challenge 
 to the Great Northwest and gives her rivals on either hand 
 a run for their money, we do learn that, on the 10th of Sep- 
 tember, 1813, a battle was fought by Oliver Hazard Perry in 
 the waters of Put-in-Bay, which enabled the victor to relate 
 that "we have met the enemy and they are ours !" 
 
 Next after John Paul Jones stands Oliver Hazard Perry. 
 Jones brought the American Revolution home to England. 
 Perry drove England back behind the barricades of her New 
 France. The fight off Scarborough Head in the North Sea 
 told the world that if England was the mistress of the sea, 
 America was master. The fight off Put-in-Bay rescued the 
 territory conquered by George Rogers Clark and wiped out 
 the disgrace of Hull's surrender. Jones laid the cloth for the 
 French alliance. Perry cleared the way for Harrison's ad- 
 vance and shortened the distance between Bladensburg and 
 the Treaty of Ghent. But, above all, it was Perry, like Jones,

who gave the world assurance of a man, of an American and 
 of America, the resistless, the unconquerable ; of the flag, the 
 glorious, the wonder-breeding; of the Union, the imperishable. 
 Over every frontispiece from the Aurora Borealis to the 
 Southern Cross, over every temple of liberty and trade, over 
 every arena of manly prowess and productive achievement, 
 blazing in letters of living light, as Webster would have said, 
 shine forever the letters that spell the words, "We have met 
 the enemy and they are ours." 
 
 It was a marvelous battle, a magical victory. The story 
 reads like a page out of the impossible. Truly is there a 
 destiny that governs the world and rules in the lives of men. 
 The young subaltern, rusting and fretful in the little Rhode 
 Island seaport; the longed-for call to action and the instant 
 answer of the minute men ; the sudden apparition of a fleet 
 in the harbor of Erie as though some wizard hand had touched 
 the forest and commanded its trees of oak and ash to rise 
 and sail the deep; the thunder of the guns carrying Freedom's 
 message of defiance; the havoc, the repulse, the running of 
 the gauntlet of fire and blood from ship to ship. Let me read 
 you the brief, immortal story. I take it from the graphic 
 narrative of John Clark Ridpath. 
 
 The Lawrence, Perry's flagship, began to suffer 
 dreadfully under the concentrated fire of the enemy. 
 First one gun and then another was dismounted. The 
 masts were broken. The rigging of the vessel was 
 rent away. The sails were torn to shreds. Soon she

yielded no longer to the wind, but lay helpless on the 
 water. 
 
 On the deck death held carnival. The American 
 sailors lay dead and dying on every hand. During the 
 two hours that Perry faced his antagonist his men 
 were reduced to a handful. Entering the action the 
 Lawrence had a crew of officers and men numbering 
 a hundred and three. Of these, by 2 o'clock in the 
 afternoon, eighty-three were either dead or wounded, 
 Still Perry held out. Others fell around him, until 
 only the commander and thirteen others were left 
 uninjured. 
 
 Meanwhile all the ships had become engaged— but 
 the Niagara only at long range and ineffectively. 
 Elliott, the captain of that vessel, perceiving that re- 
 sistance from the Lawrence had ceased, now sailed 
 ahead believing that Perry had fallen and that the 
 command had devolved on himself. It was at this 
 juncture that Perry resolved upon that famous exploit 
 which has made his name immortal. He pulled down 
 his battle flag, but left the Stars and Stripes still float- 
 ing ! Then with his brother Alexander and four of his 
 remaining seamen, he lowered himself into the boat. 
 He flung his pennant and battle flag over his arm and 
 around his person, stepped into the boat, stood upright 
 and ordered the men to pull for the Niagara. 
 
 That vessel was more than a half-mile distant. 
 It required the oarsmen fully fifteen minutes to make 
 the passage. The boat had to pass in full exposure 
 to the enemy's guns. The British at once perceived 
 what was doing. As the smoke cleared from around

the hull of the Lawrence they saw the daring act of 
 the commander, transferring his flag from one ship 
 to another. His own vessel was shattered to death: 
 but there was the Niagara, hale and strong. Should 
 he succeed in making her deck, the battle would be to 
 fight over again. Victory or defeat was turning on 
 the issue. 
 
 The British guns opened on the little boat. Dis- 
 charge after discharge followed. Some of the shot 
 struck the frail cockle, and the splinters flew : but the 
 men were unhurt. Perry continued to stand up as a 
 target until the faithful seamen refused to pull unless 
 he would sink down to a position of greater safety. 
 The shot from the enemy's guns knocked the water 
 into spray around them, but the boat reached the 
 Niagara in safety, and Perry was taken up. A mo- 
 ment more, and his battle flag was flying above the 
 unhurt ship ! 
 
 May every schoolboy and every schoolgirl in the land read 
 the rest of it; how, his foot upon the deck of the Niagara, 
 his battle flag again flying at the fore, Perry swooped like a 
 hurricane down upon the enemy's line; cut the British fleet 
 in two, right in the middle, three vessels on the right, three 
 upon the left; broadside after broadside on either hand; death 
 and destruction in his resistless wake. Thirty minutes and 
 all is over. The brave English commander. Barclay, hors de 
 combat. His second in command, Finnis, killed outright. 
 Human nature could hold out no longer. Down comes the 
 British flag. We had met the enemy and they were ours.

"two ships, two brigs, one schooner and one sloop," said Perry 
 in his report to Harrison, written upon the back of an old 
 letter, his hat for a desk. 
 
 The victor (again I quote from Ridpath) did not in the 
 elation of his triumph forget the situation around him. He 
 caused himself to be transferred from the still unhurt Niagara 
 back to the bloody deck of the Lawrence. There, and not in 
 some other place, would he receive the surrender of the enemy. 
 The British officers as they came up to present their swords 
 had to pick their way through dead and dying, slipping in 
 pools of blood as they came. Perry bade his antagonists 
 retain their swords, his the chivalry of one to whom the for- 
 tunes of war had given the power, but not the right, to humili- 
 ate a fallen foe. 
 
 In the silence of the following night the dead sailors, 
 British and American, were consigned to their last rest in the 
 clear waters of Lake Erie. The next day Perry brought back 
 to Putin-Bay his own and the captured fleet. Sailing into 
 the harbor, the dead officers of both commands were buried 
 on the shore. The losses had been very great. On the Ameri- 
 can side twenty-seven were killed and ninety-six wounded— 
 this out of a force of but little over four hundred effective 
 men. The loss of the British was forty-one killed and ninety- 
 four wounded, the gallant Captain Barclay, who had already- 
 lost an arm, having the misfortune to lose the other. 
 
 Great was the fame of the battle and of him who won it. 
 It was the first time in history that an entire British fleet,

large or small, had been taken in any open, equal conflict. 
 Lake Erie was cleared. The way for Harrison and his braves, 
 for Shelby and his hunting shirts, was opened, and forever 
 and ever the Great Northwest, rid of invaders, was redeemed. 
 A hundred years have come and gone — a hundred years 
 of peace between the two nations of Anglo-Saxon and Scotch- 
 Irish blood and tongue — and we are about to celebrate with 
 fitting rites the heaven-blessed consummation. No wounds 
 survive the Wars of the Revolution or of 1812. Each party 
 to the strife showed itself a valiant. Each carried its trophies 
 from the field, each has nursed its glories, not its griefs. 
 Blood is thicker than water. On the 10th of September, 1913, 
 we shall do honor alike to Barclay and to Perry, the monu- 
 ment over both a Monument of Peace. Thenceforward until 
 the end of 1914, the centenary of the Treaty of Ghent, the 
 jubilation will proceed, mutual and unabated.

AKRON— "THE CITY OF OPPORTUNITY" 
 
 HOME OF THE WORLD'S LARGEST RUBBER FACTORY 
 
 WB± ' m^s 
 
 In the whole history of the State of Ohio 
 
 Nothing has been more remarkable than the rapid uprise of the city of 
 Akron, a city which, comparatively unknown a few years since, now 
 numbers nearly 100,000 people. 
 
 This marvelous increase can be directly attributed to the fact that a 
 little over forty years ago Dr. Goodrich located in Akron, and opened in 
 a tiny factory, what has proven to be one of the most surprising chapters 
 of industrial development in the whole of our history. Starting with 
 only thirty hands, the gigantic factory has grown to one employing 
 fifteen thousand people and covering over seventy-five acres of ground. 
 This success of the Goodrich Company has in its turn attracted others, 
 making Akron today the largest rubber producing center in the world. 
 
 The Goodrich reputation has been built up on a square deal policy, 
 and this is rigidly maintained in all its dealings not only with its custo- 
 mers, but also with its employees. The firm's motto, " Everything that's 
 best in rubber," covers a wide field, including the following: 
 
 TIRES, pneumatic and solid, for automobiles, motor trucks, motor- 
 cycles, bicycles, buggies, etc. 
 
 HOSE of every description.

 SURGEONS and DRUGGISTS' GOODS, Hot Water Bottles, etc. 
 
 PLUMBERS' SUPPLIES.

 ELECTRICAL GOODS, wires, cables and battery jars. 
 
 BELTING, drive belts, elevator and conveyor belts. 
 
 Special catalogs are published of all these lines and will be furnished 
 on request.

A CENTURY OF PEACE. 
 
 By GENERAL J. WARREN KEIFER, 
 
 United States Commissioner. 
 
 NEUTRALIZATION OF THE GREAT AMERICAN 
 LAKES. 
 
 The Centennial about to be held at Put-in- Hay is not so 
 much to glorify achievements in War, and gallantry, heroism, 
 genius and valor of distinguished commanding officers par 
 ticipating therein, as to commemorate and celebrate the happy 
 results of victories on land and water to the United States, 
 Great Britain and to civilization. 
 
 The War of 1S12-15 was an addenda to American Inde- 
 pendence, and necessary to the consumation of it; and to 
 confirm and establish the right of the United States to a 
 territory northwest of the River Ohio — possessed of soil, 
 coal, minerals, forestry, pure springs and water for naviga- 
 tion, power, etc. ; natural grasses and other vegetation and 
 of a beauty, with temperate zone — climatic conditions, un- 
 excelled in any other region on the Earth. 
 
 The naval victory (September 10, 1813,) of Perry on Lake 
 Erie following hard fought battles (often of doubtful result,) 
 on land in Ohio, Indiana and Michigan and followed by 
 General William Henry Harrison's victory (October 5, 1813,) 
 over General Proctor and the allied Indians under Tecumseh 
 at the River Thames, in Canada, resulted in the expulsion of 
 the English forces from United States territory, and the 
 dispersion of the savage Indians, practically, from the Great 
 Northwest, leading, logically, to the Treatv of Ghent, De- 
 cember 24, 1814.* 
 
 General War with the Indian tribes of the Northwest 
 ceased with the battle of the Thames. All this accomplished, 
 transcendentally great as it was, dwarfs to insignificance 
 beside that which resulted to civilization by the subsequent 
 Treaty arrangement between the same counties (Rush-Bagot) 
 of April 28-9, 1817, by which all American and British armed 
 vessels on the Great Lakes, including Lake Champlain, were 
 dismantled, and the "Naval force" of each country was, 
 thereafter, to consist of one vessel on Lake Ontario, two 
 on the upper lakes and one on Lake Champlain, each vessel 
 
 * The Battle of New Orleans (January 8, 1815,) was fought after 
 this treaty was signed.

The Inviting Chalmers "Thirty-Six" 
 
 Inviting because it simply appears good and 
 right. Some houses are that way — the ones you 
 know are right, without knowing just why. 
 
 The wide door invites you to step in, the deep 
 cushions to sit down, the big steering wheel to 
 drive. 
 
 Just keep your seat — don't get out in the street 
 again. The control of this car is centered on the 
 cowled dash. 
 
 Push a button and the Chalmers cranks itself. 
 
 Chalmers was the first car to have a depend- 
 able starter. Chalmers " Thirty-Six " gave a trade 
 name to the year 1912. That year goes down in 
 automobile history as " Self-Starter year." Chal- 
 mers cars set fashions. 
 
 Just move a lever and the carburetor is 
 adjusted. 
 
 Turn a switch and the electric lights are on. 
 
 The levers and pedals and wheel are just where 
 you want them. In fact, all the " controls " of 
 the Chalmers are right to your hand — most of 
 them artistically grouped on the stylishly cowled 
 dash. 
 
 And, by the way, that's another big automobile 
 improvement the Chalmers had first — the cowled 
 dash. Compare this one feature with the same 
 "ii other cars — see if the Chalmers isn't better 
 done. 
 
 Rims are demountable. 
 
 In view of all these good points a Chalmers 
 " Thirty-Six " is particularly inviting because of 
 its moderate price — a fully equipped up-to-the- 
 minute motor car of A-l goodness. Always on 
 view at our dealers' showrooms.

not to exceed one hundred tons burden, armed with one 
 eighteen pound cannon, " and that no other vessels of war 
 shall be there built or aimed." 
 
 The one hundred-ton vessels were solely for police purposes, 
 and to secure the collection of revenue. This arrangement 
 has been faithfully, in spirit, and almost in letter, carried out 
 in all respects by both countries. It has proved to be of 
 paramount importance to both countries. 
 
 It logically followed the Treaty of Ghent, already referred 
 to. which was proclaimed ratified, February 18, 1815, and 
 which was only so far a treaty of peace as to terminate the 
 War of 1812 between Great Britain and the United States. 
 
 Its opening sentence reads: 
 
 " There shall be a firm and universal peace be- 
 tween His Britannic Majesty and the United States, 
 and between their respective countries, territories, 
 cities, towns, and people, of every degree, without 
 exception of places or persons." 
 
 It contained other necessary provisions relating to restora- 
 tion of territory to the United States; of archives and records 
 to their proper owners ; as to the disposition of certain 
 islands, the title to which was in dispute; as to hostilities 
 ceasing; as to the restoration of prizes and prisoners of war: 
 as to certain boundaries and how they were to be settled 
 where in dispute ; as to the termination by the United States 
 and his Britannic Majesty of hostilities with all Indian 
 tribes of America with whom they were each at war, and it 
 concludes with a declaration against the traffic in Slaves, and 
 pledges both countries to use their best endeavors to ac- 
 complish its abolition. 
 
 The Treaty of Ghent did not undertake to regulate com- 
 merce between the two nations, but to do this it was closely 
 followed by another, ratified December 22, 1815. Both these 
 treaties recognized the continuing existence, so far as pos- 
 sible, of the treaties of Paris, November 30, 17S2. and Sep- 
 tember 3, 1783. concluding the War of the American Revolu- 
 tion; also the later London "Treaty of Amity, Commerce and 
 Navigation " of November 19. 1794. and other minor treaties 
 between the two great English speaking nations of the 
 world. 
 
 Since the treaty of Ghent there have been numerous treaties 
 between the United States and Great Britain, relating mainly 
 to commerce, navagation, boundaries, international policies.

to the building of an Isthmian Canal, its neutralization, etc., 
 but no other treaty of peace has been necessary, both nations 
 having been at peace with each other, for almost one hun- 
 dred years. 
 
 The Commissioners, appointed under the treaty of Ghent, 
 established, for the Great Lakes, the boundary line to be 
 from the middle of the river (Iroquois) at its intersection 
 with Lake Ontario, through the middle of Lake Ontario and 
 the connecting waters from Lake Erie ; thence through the 
 middle of Lake Erie and the waters communicating to and 
 through Lake Huron and the waters communicating with 
 Lake Superior to Lake Superior ; thence through it north- 
 ward of the " Isles Royal and Philipeau, to the Long 
 Lake," (Rainey Lake); thence through its middle and the 
 waters communicating between it and the Lake of the 
 Woods, etc. 
 
 With the water of this most important chain of fresh 
 water lakes of the world almost exactly divided between 
 two of the most progressive, influential and important na- 
 tions of all time, their perpetual neutralization— exemption 
 from naval warfare, marks an important epoch in civilization, 
 ami it became an early advance step towards universal peace 
 among all nations. 
 
 Peace and neutralization go hand in band, and they go 
 far towards securing the prosperity and happiness of all 
 mankind. 
 
 Tested alone by material benefits, leaving the other and 
 greater ones to unselfish and more exalted view, this 
 neutralization treaty has produced and continues to produce 
 results and incident benefits and blessings to the human race, 
 not computable in figures, but only capable of being ascer- 
 tained by the scales of divine mercy. 
 
 The subsequent (1888) international neutralization treaty 
 of the Suez Canal, (only 78 miles in length,) connecting the 
 Mediterranean and the Red Seas, is a fitting example of an 
 applied and successful policy, having its initial trial in the 
 neutralization of the American Great Lakes : and an example 
 leading to the later Hay-Pauncefote treaty of November 18, 
 1901, also between the United States and Great Britain, by 
 which the now soon to be completed Panama Canal is, in 
 like manner, to be, or should be, neutralized and kept open 
 and free for ships of all kinds of all nations in times of war 
 as well as peace.

The one-hundred-ton vessel and its eighteen pound cannon 
 provided for in the Rush-Bagot treaty of 1817, as before 
 stated, are only for police purposes and to enforce the 
 collection of duties, but not for war. So the existing Suez 
 and Panama Canal treaties provide for an ample police force 
 to protect the canals from injury or disorder, but not for 
 war. In time of peace no war vessels or military forces are 
 needed ; and in time of war the signatory powers to the 
 international neutralization, guarantees the canals from in- 
 terruption, or injury. Neutralization operates to prevent 
 war ; and, in case of war, to save life and property, and. con- 
 sequently, to avert the direful and destructive effects of war. 
 
 Let us turn to history to prove, indisputably, what neutral- 
 ization under the 1817 treaty has accomplished. The Great 
 Lakes were neutralized almost an hundred years ago. Great 
 Britain and the United States have since been without a 
 war vessel there. And, by necessary consequence, war vessels 
 of all the other nations of the world have been, and, like- 
 wise are. excluded. Other waters like the Straits of Magellan, 
 parts of the Danube and later the Suez Canal, have been 
 neutralized, but, mainly, for the purposes of free navigation. 
 
 The neutralization of the Great American Lakes includes 
 vastly more than free navigation. It guarantees against war 
 on the Lakes and the safety of the cities, etc., on their shores 
 from attack by water. It came when the shores of these 
 lakes were little inhabited and the tributary country was not 
 at all developed as to agriculture, mining and other in- 
 dustries, when cities were to be founded and built, etc. In- 
 habitants and civilization was yet to move in. 
 
 Not one dollar, in the elapsed century, has since been spent 
 to fortify or to build ships to protect a city or village on 
 the American or British lake coasts of five thousand or more 
 miles in extent. The accumulated wealth of the United 
 States would be exhausted in a vain endeavor to now safely 
 fortify, against a single modern battleship, the now great 
 cities of Toledo, Buffalo. Erie, Lorain. Sandusky, Detroit, 
 Bay City, Superior, Duluth, Milwaukee. Racine, Michigan 
 City and Chicago, to say nothing of other cities and villages 
 on these lake shores. As built, on the shore line, without 
 covering exterior harbors, exposed to the open lakes, Chicago, 
 Milwaukee, Lorain, Erie, Cleveland and other like situated 
 cities, can never be successfully fortified against lake attack. 
 Treasure would be futilely expended in the attempt. These 
 and other cities and towns of the United States with their now 
 millions of inhabitants, would never have been built but for

the 1817 treaty. They could not have been located inland and 
 have reached their present population, business and wealth. 
 So of other cities and places on the British shores of these 
 lakes. Civilization and progress would not only have been 
 delayed, but it would have been absolutely stifled indefinitely, 
 thereby seriously affecting the whole world. If these cities 
 had or could have been built and so located as to be safely 
 fortified against lake attack, the cost of building and main- 
 taining war-ships on the lakes and fortifications would have 
 been, and with modern battleships would continue to be, 
 such a colossal national expense as could not be borne. 
 
 The original and maintaining cost of fortifying the cities 
 of Boston, New York, Philadelphia, Baltimore, Annapolis, 
 Charleston, Savannah, Mobile, New Orleans, Galveston, 
 San Diego, San Francisco, Portland, Seattle, etc., on our 
 Atlantic, Pacific and Gulf Coasts has amounted to billions 
 of dollars, and the cost of enlarging and maintaining the 
 fortifications, to resist modern guns and armored ships, at 
 these places increases annually many millions. All, however, 
 that has been accomplished, and saved, by the 1817 treaty, 
 great as it has proved to be, is still overshadowed, in im- 
 portance and example, by the incident lesson for peace. 
 Neutralization — absence of war, or war preparation— is peace 
 — exemplified. 
 
 It far exceeds in historic importance that unique, only 
 existing colossal (twice life size) bronze statue of Christ — 
 the Prince of Peace — (cast of cannon used in war) erected 
 (1904) on a high, bleak, barren, totally uninhabited level 
 summit (' 4 mile across) of the Andes — Cumbre Pass— on a 
 pedestal hewn in the natural mountain rock, about twenty- 
 two thousand feet above the Pacific Ocean level, over- 
 shadowed, and almost hidden, by great mountain pinnacles 
 around it; fifteen hundred feet above the railway tunnel 
 (Las Cuevas) through the great Cordillera, and at about 
 33° S. latitude. 
 
 It faces to the north, as though viewing land of both 
 countries. Mt. Anaconcagua in the distance, the loftiest 
 (23,000 feet) of all the summits of the Andes, or in the 
 Western Hemisphere. 
 
 This statue was there so erected by the Republic of Chili 
 and the Argentine Confederation to mark a long existing, 
 bitterly contested boundary line dispute between the two 
 countries.

On this wild, weird spot, on this ever to be lonely height 
 rarely to be seen by human eyes, this cannon-cast bron/e

 Queen \ ictoria of Great Britain and an award made (190'' 
 by the King of England), to witness the great Andean sum-

Grand in conception and purpose as was this so placed 
 hgure of Christ, yet, however full its design and purpose 
 may have been, or may yet be through future ages, ac- 
 complished, it will, inevitably, fall far short of what has been, 
 and will be accomplished for Peace and Civilization by the 
 short scroll of neutralization between the two great English 
 speaking nations of which we have spoken. 
 
 The celebration soon to be held under the auspices of the 
 Perry's Victory Centennial Commission is, in some sense, 
 international, and, happily, it is to be followed the succeeding 
 year by a more specific celebration of the " Century of Peace " 
 between Great Britain and the United States already being 
 arranged for by distinguished delegates from England, 
 Canada, Newfoundland, Australia and the municipality of 
 Ghent, Belgium, (where the 1814 treaty was signed), and an 
 American Peace Committee. 
 
 The celebration, we repeat, about to be held at Put-in-Bay, 
 and the granite monument now being erected there, are not 
 in their true and full significance, so much to commemorate a 
 naval battle between Great Britain and the United States on 
 Lake Erie, as to celebrate a succeeding century of peace be- 
 tween the two great world powers, and to testify and proclaim 
 anew the wisdom and the happy glorious results of the 
 effective neutralization of important navigable waters, whereby 
 uninterrupted commerce and industry and the consequent 
 unparalleled growth and prosperity of cities and vast regions 
 of the country are the inestimable fruits. 
 
 The 1817 treaty, it is to be hoped, will forever remain a 
 witness and monitor for peace, and a guide to universal 
 neutralization of the Seas, Lakes and Rivers of the World. 
 Its brief, explicit provisions should be emblazoned in char- 
 acters of solid gold so high in the firmament of the heavens 
 as to be seen and known by all peoples and nations, as an 
 example to be followed, and a beacon to guide them in ac- 
 complishing Universal Peace on Earth. 
 
 This treaty is the chief, crowning, resultant glory of 
 Perry's Naval Victory and Harrison's army victories on sea 
 and land in the War of 1812.

THE PERRY MEMORIAL. 
 
 By JOSEPH HENRY FREEDLANDER, 
 
 THE scheme of The Perry Memorial had its inception 
 in a combination of remarkable historical events. It 
 is a striking fact that England and America, two 
 countries which have been at peace for a period of a hun- 
 dred years, should purpose to definitely seal their friend- 
 ship by means of a general treaty, the spirit of which shall 
 insure to the English speaking races this final triumph of 
 civilization. It has therefore seemed most fitting to em- 
 body in a Memorial commemorative of Perry's victory at 
 the battle of Lake Erie an expression of the treaty of 
 arbitration about to be entered into between the two 
 nations — an epoch-making event in the history of two 
 great peoples of vast and significant moment. 
 
 Exactly one hundred years after the last war it is pro- 
 posed to enter into an arbitration treaty designed to in- 
 sure everlasting peace. 
 
 It was with this thought pregnant with good-will to 
 mankind in mind that the Perry Memorial was conceived. 
 Three elements in the composition immediately suggested 
 themselves: the shaft, the Museum, and a statue flanked 
 by a Colonnade, typifying peace by arbitration. 
 
 The composition was born in an instant — the shaft took 
 the form of a great Doric column, with the Museum on the 
 left and the Colonnade on the right. All were placed on a 
 broad plaza elevated only slightly above the ground so 
 that the entire Memorial would appear to rise from the 
 sea and be further enhanced by its reflections in the rip- 
 pling waters. 
 
 The Column stands alone so that it may be seen over 
 the water from all points of the compass and by its 
 very height dominate the surrounding country. The 
 Museum and Colonnade are distant from it some three

hundred feet and thus will not obscure its perspective at 
 any point. On the contrary its setting as the central 
 motive in the composition will insure a degree of dignity 
 impossible to obtain were the other buildings placed in 
 close proximity. The Museum and Colonnade in turn 
 are placed on terraces at a slightly higher elevation than 
 the main platform so that they may give grace and variety 
 to the vista and their architectural setting be assured. 
 
 In view of the location of the site in so great an expanse 
 of water and the necessarily isolated character which these 
 conditions imply, the Doric order treated without orna- 
 ment of any kind seemed best adapted to convey the 
 impression of grandeur and simplicity which the Me- 
 morial is intended to suggest. The plaza covers almost 
 the entire site in length, and in width extends from the 
 waters of Lake Erie to those of Put-in-Bay. Here it is 
 reached by a broad flight of steps forming the main ap- 
 proach. The shore drive runs through it, thus making it 
 accessible to visitors both by land and by sea. A landing 
 stage for small boats is provided at the bottom of the 
 flight of steps. Besides insuring an architectural base for 
 the general composition the plaza is intended to serve for 
 exercises and ceremonies requiring the accommodation of 
 large assemblages. Its extreme length is seven hundred 
 and fifty feet and its width on the main central axis is 
 four hundred and fifty-eight feet. It is twelve feet above 
 mean high water while the terraces immediately surround- 
 ing the Museum and the Colonnade are elevated three 
 feet more or fifteen feet above mean high water. The level 
 of the roadway is elevated six feet above the water, a 
 broad flight of steps leading down to it and in turn another 
 flight continues to the water's edge. 
 
 It is intended to plant such portions of the site not 
 covered by the plaza with shrubs and to enclose the 
 Memorial in a setting of landscape gardening, by means 
 of paths, lawns, borders and planting. The trees on the 
 site are being carefully preserved so that their foliage may

not only afford shade but enhance the general color scheme 
 as well. 
 
 The stone selected for the entire Memorial is a white 
 granite, extremely beautiful in texture and color and of a 
 sufficiently delicate pink cast to temper it and to counter- 
 act the natural tendency of pure white stones to take on 
 a bluish cast under the sky. Its geological composition 
 is as nearly perfect as can be obtained and it was selected 
 after exhaustive mechanical tests on account of its hard- 
 ness and consequent great durability, the latter quality 
 being naturally an essential in the choice of material for 
 a monument destined to last through the ages. In order 
 to give it as brilliant a texture as possible it is tooled or 
 chanelled with fine vertical lines. This treatment has the 
 same effect on granite as the cutting of facets on precious 
 stones and tends to produce a sparkle, brilliancy and play 
 of light and shade extremely pleasing to the eye. 
 
 The Column, forming t lie central motive of the Me- 
 morial is surmounted by a massive bronze tripod, the 
 bowl of which is illuminated by means of a cluster of a 
 hundred concealed incandescent lights. 
 
 The height of the Column measured from the level of 
 the terrace to the top of the tripod is three hundred and 
 thirty-five feet. The tripod is eighteen feet high, its 
 greatest diameter is twenty feet and it will weigh eleven 
 tons. It will be of solid bronze, cast and transported to 
 the site in sections, and then riveted together on the 
 grounds. An electric hoisting derrick will swing it in 
 place on the top of the Column, to which it will be bolted 
 by means of steel angles built into the masonry. Special 
 provision has been made in the design of the tripod to 
 stiffen it structurally against wind pressure which in view 
 of its elevation of over three hundred feet from the earth 
 and the severity of the winter storms on the Lakes is a 
 most important consideration, and a condition requiring 
 careful calculation. The top of the bowl of the tripod is 
 of frosted plate glass one half inch thick, and will glow

 The foundations of the Column as well as those of the 
 Museum and of the Colonnade will rest directly on rock. 
 At the inception of the work diamond-drill borings to 
 ascertain the nature of the soil were made with the result 
 that rock was found to underlie the entire site at levels of 
 from ten to twenty feet below the surface. This made it 
 possible to drive the forms for the concrete foundations 
 directly to rock, and did away with the necessity of sink- 
 ing caissons. The strata was found to be hard and homo- 
 geneous and of excellent bearing quality. 
 
 The Column is forty-five feet in diameter at the base 
 and thirty-five at the neck, while the thickness of the 
 walls at these points is nine feet and five feet respectively. 
 The walls are built of granite ashlar or facing, backed up 
 with concrete to a height of some eighty feet and con- 
 tinued with brick to the top of the shaft. The diameter 
 of the clear space in the interior of the Column is twenty- 
 five feet six inches. There are seventy-eight courses of 
 stone in the height of the shaft. An interesting feature of 
 the structural detail is the construction of the cap of 
 the Column. This has an overhang or projection at the 
 angle of fifteen feet, measured on the diagonal. In order 
 to hold the granite in place on the soffit or underside 
 forms are built, the stones, after being cut with keys on 
 the upper surface, are laid on them and reinforced con- 
 crete poured until the whole becomes a homogeneous 
 mass. After this has set the forms are removed and the 
 stones dressed on the underside to an even surface. 
 
 In the base of the column a memorial rotunda has been 
 arranged. It is faced with Indiana limestone and is 
 entered directly from the terrace by means of four bronze 
 doors facing the cardinal points of the compass. The 
 floor of this rotunda is three feet below the terrace level, 
 four short flights of granite steps leading down to it. It 
 is composed of a field of Tennessee marble with a center- 
 piece and border in color. The ceiling of the rotunda takes 
 the form of a dome, from the center of which will hang a 
 bronze lighting fixture. 
 
 The remains of eighteen British and American officers 
 who took part in the battle will be moved from their 
 present resting-place on the Island and re-interred in the 
 walls of the rotunda. Their names, as well as those of 
 all others who fought at Lake Erie will be carved in the

stone panels. In the center of the rotunda it is purposed to 
 place a bronze statue of Perry, to commemorate the most 
 remarkable achievement in naval history, whereby a 
 hitherto unknown naval officer, twenty-six years old, saved 
 for the United States all that great territory bordering the 
 length of the Great Lakes. 
 
 Two flights of granite stairs built in the thickness of 
 the walls afford communication between the four entrance 
 vestibules adjacent to the rotunda and the landing above 
 it. At this level the elevator and staircase start, and run 
 to the top of the Column. The staircase is built of re- 
 inforced concrete throughout its entire height of some 
 two hundred and fifty feet. It runs around and is sup- 
 ported by four concrete columns and is composed of four 
 hundred and sixty-seven steps. The elevator is installed 
 in the staircase well and is of the high geared traction 
 type. Its speed is two hundred and fifty feet per minute 
 and it is capable of lifting twenty-five hundred pounds. It 
 is fitted with every modern safety device including an 
 apparatus which automatically precludes the car from 
 moving until the doors of the shaft are closed. The trip 
 from the lower to the upper landing is made in one minute. 
 From the upper platform a door leads to the outside para- 
 pet, concealed in the cap of the column. From this 
 parapet forming a promenade three hundred feet above 
 the terrace level a magnificent view of the surrounding 
 country is obtained. The panoramic scene presented by 
 the waters of the Lake is imposing and wonderfully 
 beautiful at all times of the day, while at night the im- 
 pression conveyed by the intense quiet and the twinkling 
 of innumerable lights is fairy-like and reminiscent of the 
 star-lit lagoons of the Adriatic. A glass dome and venti- 
 lators at the top of the Column provide light and air, 
 while in addition the entire interior of the shaft is lined 
 with a light colored face brick, terminating at the bottom 
 in a white tile base. The Column, as well as the Museum, 
 the Colonnade and the terrace is lit electrically throughout, 
 and is provided with inter-communicating and general 
 telephone systems. All of the buildings are of fireproof 
 construction and built of non-combustible materials — not 
 a single piece of wood is used in any part of the work. 
 
 The Museum is to house a collection of Perryana as well 
 as such arms, books, paintings, engravings and relics which 
 pertain to the period and are reminiscent of the war of 
 1812. The building including the portico along the length 
 of the principal facade is eighty-five feet long and sixty-

four feet wide. Its height from the level of the terrace 
 is forty-two feet and the columns of the portico are 
 twenty-three feet high. In the interior the large exhibition 
 hall extends throughout the entire height of the building 
 and has a gallery supported on columns running around it 
 on all four sides. The treatment of the interior will be in 
 stone and the columns of " breche violette " marble. The 
 gallery will be lighted from above by means of a large 
 skylight and on the rear rooms for the curator, for the 
 catalogue and a council room for meetings of the Inter- 
 State Board are arranged. At the two ends of the gallery 
 decorative paintings illustrative of the battle of Lake Ene 
 will be set in place. A frieze of panels carved in the 
 granite and bearing the shields of the forty-eight States 
 of the Union will run around the entire facade. 
 
 The Colonnade forming a pendant to the Museum at the 
 right of the Column will enclose on three sides a statue 
 typifying " Peace by Arbitration." The height of the 
 columns of the Colonnade will be the same as those of 
 the Museum, thus preserving a symmetrical sky-line. The 
 open space enclosed within the Colonnade will be laid out 
 in the manner of a formal garden, bisected by a pathway 
 terminating at either end in a fountain built in the walls. 
 From the garden level a broad flight of steps leads to the 
 terrace. In the center of the flight and on the main axis 
 of the structure the statue and pedestal will be placed. 
 The figure is seated and both in action and expression 
 portrays that calm dignity and serenity illustrative of the 
 abundant blessings which will accrue to those nations 
 who shall have made themselves custodians of universal 
 peace. 
 
 The statue will be of heroic size, cast in bronze, and 
 about fifteen feet in height. 
 
 A detail requiring careful study and of much interest in 
 the design of the Memorial has been the provision made 
 for the correction of the perspective by means of asym- 
 metric curves. The long flight of steps for instance would 
 appear to sag in the center if they were made straight or 
 horizontal. Therefore they are built with a convex curve, 
 that is to say they are some four inches higher at the 
 center than at the ends. Thus in execution they will ap- 
 pear perfectly level. In the same manner the terrace 
 surrounding the shaft is raised in the center and lower at 
 the ends — otherwise the Column would appear to depress 
 it and it would produce the effect of resting in a concave

dish. Similarly every vertical or horizontal surface of the 
 entire group has been corrected by means of carefully 
 calculated curvatures. 
 
 To tie together the three elements of the composition 
 there will be laid out on the main terraces and in the spaces 
 between the Column and the flanking buildings a scheme 
 of landscape gardening whose main feature will consist 
 of a green-sward one hundred and fifty feet long and 
 seventy-five feet wide. At either side two granite walks 
 will be built leading from the Museum and Colonnade ter- 
 races to the plaza surrounding the Column. These in turn 
 will be bordered with shrubs, bay-trees, flower beds, and 
 other accessories which go to make up a garden wherein 
 the public may find shelter and repose and a restful loung- 
 ing place. Four large vases at the center terrace and 
 smaller ones at the ends will serve to embellish the general 
 layout and at either end of the steps leading from the 
 water's edge a bronze standard bearing the national flag 
 will be erected. Furthermore in deference to the naval 
 character of the Memorial it is proposed to use as at- 
 tributes in the treatment of the grounds bronze cannon, 
 mortars and anchors presented by the Navy Department. 
 
 This is in brief a description of the salient features of 
 the Memorial. Erected to commemorate the valor and 
 courage of a great commander and an epoch-making event 
 in the history of the United States— it shall have doubly 
 fulfilled its mission if. down through the ages it shall 
 stand— the first milestone on the high-road of everlasting 
 peace.

CRUISE OF THE "NIAGARA" 
 
 INTERNATIONAL interest attaches to the cruise of Commodore Oliver 
 Hazard Perry's restored flagship " Niagara " in connection with the chain 
 of local celebrations of the one hundredth anniversary of the battle of Lake- 
 Erie during the summer of 1913, and of the century of peace ensuing between 
 Great Britain and the United States since the signing of the Treaty of Ghent in 
 1814. The Commissioners of the Perry's Victory Centennial have contemplated 
 the raising and restoration of the " Niagara " ever since the organization of their 
 Inter-State Board in September, 1910. The Pennsylvania Commissioners fur- 
 nished the energy and the means necessary to bring this about, the Pennsylvania 
 legislature making a special appropriation to meet the expenses. 
 
 Both the " Niagara," on board of which Commodore Perry won the battle 
 of Lake Erie, and his former flagship, the " Lawrence," which was put out of 
 action by the enemy in the early part of the battle of Lake Erie, were scuttled and 
 sunk after the war of 1812 in Misery Bay, Erie Harbor, Pa. The " Lawrence " was 
 raised and exhibited at the national exposition at Philadelphia in 1876, but was 
 subsequently suffered to be destroyed by the relic hunter. The Pennsylvania 
 Commissioners do not propose that the " Niagara " shall meet with the same 
 fate and have adopted measures for her permanent retention as an historical 
 exhibit at Erie. 
 
 The first soundings with a view to raising the " Niagara " were made in the 
 autumn of 1912, and in the early spring of 1913 divers were sent down for a 
 thorough examination of her condition. The old ship was found with many of 
 her original timbers intact, the hand-forged iron nails in most cases still adhering 
 firmly. The vessel had lain for nearly a century on her side, partly imbedded in 
 the clean white sand of that region, with decaying vegetation entirely absent. 
 The waters had tended to preserve her, the only disintegration being on the side 
 nearest the surface, where the waves had washed away the gun ports. She was 
 discovered to have been built mainly of oak, and the frame part of the bulwarks 
 of oak, cedar and black walnut. Shortly after the examination she was raised 
 from her long resting place and launched at Erie, with proper patriotic 
 ceremonies, on June 7, 1913. Since then the work of restoration has con- 
 tinued rapidly, and she will appear in her cruise of the Great Lakes in the 
 Perry's Victory Centennial Celebration substantially as she was in the battle of 
 Lake Erie one hundred years ago, manned by a veteran crew especially selected 
 by the United States navy department. 
 
 During her progress to the ports of the Great Lakes which will hold celebra- 
 tions of the one hundredth anniversary of the Battle of Lake Erie, the " Niagara " 
 will be convoyed by a fleet consisting of the representative naval militia ships of 
 the Great Lakes and United States revenue cutters. Her debut is scheduled 
 for the 6th of July at Erie, Pa., whence she will set forth on her long 
 voyage July 13th, pursuing the following itinerary: Fairport, O., one day, July 
 14th; Lorain. O., July 15-20th; Put-in-Bay. July 20-25th ; Monroe. Mich., July 
 2G-27th; Toledo, July 27th-August 1st; Detroit, August l-3d ; Green Bay, Wis..

PRISCILLA. 
 
 Fair queen of the waters, dear pride of the lake. 
 
 Thou dauntless, majestic Priscilla, 
 There is joy in thy wings and peace in thy wake, 
 
 Priscilla, Priscilla, Priscilla! 
 Where the white caps, pursuing- the sprite of the deep, 
 Ride away to the shores where the blue billows leap, 
 Thou shalt thrill me with pleasure or rock me t<> sleep. 
 
 In the heart of thv waves, Priscilla! 
 
 I 'h, the toasts that were quaffed and the tales 
 
 In the shade of thy sails, Priscilla, 
 Thy prow toward the sunset of purple and gold, 
 
 Priscilla, Priscilla, Priscilla! 
 The skies of the Northland were never so blue, 
 I'he faith nf giind friendship was never so true. 
 And just doing nothing ne'er so easv to do. 
 As borne mi thv breezes. Priscilla! 
 
 that 
 
 told 
 
 The memory dwells on tin generous hoard, 
 
 Beguiler of men, <> Priscilla! 
 When the Commodore carved — likewise frequently poured- 
 
 Priscilla, Priscilla, Priscilla! 
 When we fought Perry's Victory over, rough-shod, 
 From the Lake to the Bay and from Sissmi to Todd— 
 Lord help the landlubber son of the sod 
 
 Who shared not the conflict, Priscilla! 
 
 Somewhere there may he fairer days than I've known 
 
 ( >n the crest of thy sea, Priscilla! 
 Somewhere there may he brighter joys than thine own, 
 
 Priscilla. Priscilla. Priscilla! 
 Somewhere sweeter romance, somewhere truer souls, 
 Somewhere better zwieback, somewhere deeper bowls ; 
 But ii( it on this side of wdiere Old Jordan mils, 
 
 As sure as thou sailest, Priscilla! 
 
 They say mi the wings of an Infinite Morn, 
 
 Past the blue of thy skies, Priscilla. 
 Are the hosts of immortals triumphantly borne, 
 
 Priscilla, Priscilla, Priscilla! 
 But when the last trumpet blows over the sea, 
 \<iu may count on the comrades, who, like unto me, 
 W ill hang up their harps and sail on with thee, 
 To the end of the voyage, Priscilla !

 Conditions and rules governing events of the National Association 
 of Engine and Boat Manufacturers' Carnival or races, and all boats 
 sailing therein shall be under the control and direction of the Power 
 Boat Regatta Committee and Judges of the Inter-lake Yachting Asso- 
 ciation. All matters shall be subject to their approval and control, 
 and all questions and disputes which may arise shall be decided by 
 them. 
 
 INTRODUCTORY 
 
 There is now appropriated $12,500 to be expended for this Perry 
 Centennial Regatta and National Motor Boat Carnival, outside of the 
 perpetual trophies offered by the National Association of Engine and 
 Boat Manufacturers and other numerous privately donated trophies. 
 
 The National Motor Boat Carnival is a yearly National Regatta 
 for Motor Boats, instituted in 1905, by the National Association of 
 Engine and Boat Manufacturers. This Carnival has been held yearly 
 since that date with greater success each year and a record of the 
 most consistent performances of any races ever held in the United 
 States. These races have never been held before outside of New York 
 State, and it is the enlistment of this series of races, together with 
 the Perry Centennial Races at Toledo and Putin-Bay, that will mark 
 two series of events, the like of which has never been held in this 
 country. The National Association of Engine and Boat Manufac- 
 turers has appropriated the sum of $2,500 and their five trophies 
 valued at $2,250. 
 
 TOLEDO AND ITS SPLENDID MOTOR BOAT SPEEDWAY 
 
 That the speed boat events might be conducted under the most 
 favorable conditions, the Inter-lake Yachting Association selected To- 
 ledo on account of the perfect facilities and speedway course on the 
 Maumee River, right in the heart of Toledo. To lend its support, 
 the City of Toledo, through its Perry Centennial Civic Committee, 
 has appropriated $5,000 to be spent during the two days of races 
 there. 
 
 Toledo is exceptionally well equipped for handling boats of the 
 racing type; a number of cranes are available for unloading directly 
 from the cars to the river. Within a quarter of a mile of the starting 
 line are four marine railways capable of taking care of boats up to 
 100 feet, and the protected waters of the Toledo Yacht Club lagoon 
 give exceptional docking facilities for any number of boats. Gasoline 
 and lubricating oils may be had at the starting line in sealed cans. 
 
 Boats coming to Toledo should be shipped Pennsylvania or New 
 York Central delivery r 'c The Toledo Fuel Company. All handling 
 free of charge, but at owner's risk. 
 
 The Perry Centennial Racing Events and the National Associa- 
 tion of Engine and Boat Manufacturers' Events will be conducted 
 entirely separate by reason of specific conditions outlined in the 
 Deeds of Gift of the five NATIONAL ASSOCIATION Trophies. 
 
 THE NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF ENGINE AND BOAT 
 MANUFACTURERS' PRIZES

 and raced for under their respective deeds of gift.

 three heats for this trophy and winner determined by point system.

 NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF ENGINE AND 
 
 BOAT MANUFACTURERS' TROPHIES 
 
 All five of the foregoing perpetual trophies offered by the Na- 
 tional Association of Engine and Boat Manufacturers must be chal- 
 lenged for by some regularly organized club, at least ten days pre- 
 ceding the Regatta and the names of the contestants filed with the 
 Secretary of the Inter-Lake Yachting Association Power Boat Re- 
 gatta Committee. Subsequent entries will be received up to Satur- 
 day, July 20, 1013.

 Prizes 
 In each race each boat competing will be credited with as many 
 points as the number of boats she defeats, with one point added as 
 premium for sailing the race. A boat that starts but does not finish 
 will receive no points, but will be counted as a defeated boat in the 
 crediting of points to the boats that complete the race. The award 
 of points will be made each day on the basis of the largest number

 entry blank whether he shall accept cash or merchandise prizes. 
 
 Bang-and-Go-Back Rules 
 
 First: Entry blank for these series will be required, giving name 
 of the boat, owner, club and port; also the over all length and type 
 of boat. 
 
 Second: A preparatory gun will be fired five minutes before 
 starting gun, both signals being fired from the Committee boat at 
 starting line. 
 
 Third: The course will be a triangular one. All boats in one 
 class start together with the starting gun. At some time, totally 
 unknown to any of the contestants, another gun or bomb will be 
 fired from Rattlesnake Island, which gun or bomb will be the signal 
 to turn to the right and return by the same course to the starting 
 point, which will be the finishing line. 
 
 Fourth: Every contestant is expected to run a fair race at his 
 best speed from start to finish. 
 
 Fifth: However, as conditions affect the various boats differently 
 all contestants will be allowed to make the return trip in a few 
 seconds less time than the time between starting and turning signals, 
 but to prevent jockeying and to assure a fair race, nobody but one 
 of the Judges selected by that body will know what the time reduc- 
 tion will be until after turning signal is given when he will deliver 
 same to the other Judges under seal. 
 
 Sixth : Any boats making the course and crossing the finishing 
 line in less time than the sum of the out-going time, plus the reduced 
 returning time, will be penalized by doubling the out-going time and 
 adding twice the reduction above allowed, and will be accredited with 
 having finished in such position as this corrected time would indicate. 
 
 Example 
 
 Let us assume an allowance of 39r. and that it was predetermined 
 that the turning gun would be fired 30 minutes after the starting gun. 
 Then the boats can make the returning time in nine-tenths of a minute 
 
 less than the outgoing time, or 54 seconds. Hence, the outgoing time 
 being 30 minutes, and the returning time being 29 minutes and 6 
 seconds, the total time from start to finish would be 59 minutes, 6 
 seconds. 
 
 Let us suppose again that one of the boats gets back over the 
 line in 59 minutes, 4 seconds. Then, according to the rules, she 
 would be penalized as follows: 
 
 Outgoing time 30 min. x 2 = 60 :00 
 
 Doubling discount time 54 x 2 
 
 = 1:48 
 
 60 
 
 Time credited by penalization 61 :48 
 
 Time for performance 59 :06 
 
 Actual penalization for jockeying 2 :42 
 
 Seventh : If, in the opinion of the Judges, one or more of the 
 contestants have not complied with the spirit and intent of the above 
 conditions and have failed to run a fair race, such contestant may be 
 disqualified, from which decision there will be no appeal. 
 
 Eight: Racing flags bearing the class letter and number will be 
 given each entrant, which must be secured to the hull on the right 
 and left bow, or elsewhere, as the judges may direct. 
 
 The foregoing rules, conditions and prizes are subject to change 
 by the Regatta Committee. 
 
 Copies of the Deeds of Gift of the Trophies given by the National 
 Association of Engine and Boat Manufacturers will be mailed on 
 receipt of request to Ira Hand, Secretary, and copies of the American 
 Power Boat Association's rules, under which the National Association 
 Carnival events will be raced, may be purchased from any of the 
 Yachting Publications. 
 
 IMPORTANT NOTICES 
 There will be no entrance fees. 
 
 There will be a bulletin board at headquarters where changes in 
 program and special instructions will be posted throughout the week. 
 
 Headquarters at Toledo, Toledo Yacht Club; headquarters at Put- 
 in-Bay, Doller's Boat House, and the Secretary-Treasurer and Regatta

 time of starting a race, and not until every yacht has crossed the line.

 and which is regularly enrolled in any club in the Inter-Lake Yacht- 
 ing Association, or which has been invited to participate in the races. 
 
 A Revenue Cutter has been detailed by the Treasury Department

 boats appointed by her Captain. They will have authority to enforc< 
 the regulations, and will display a blue flag with white letter P.

 Museum of 100 battle paintings and thousands of war relics brought

 parting mi Sept. 13th .ii 11th. Mi. official program for her reception 
 and the ceremonies appropriate to the occasion has not yet been per- 
 fected, but the great city of Detroit may be relied upon to make 
 the celebration of this centenary, so vital to the history of the city 
 and the whole State of Michigan, entirely worthy of the city's 
 phenomenal progress during the one hundred years since Perry's 
 victory established her future as the metropolis of a great American 
 commonwealth. 
 
 GREEN BAY CELEBRATION-. 
 
 The date- of August 10th to 10th for Green Bay, Wisconsin, 
 represent the period of the celebration in that city. The city 
 has made elaborate preparations for the reception of the 
 "Niagara" August 10th and for an adequate celebration extend- 
 
 .. ovei one week. There is no better location on the Great Lakes 
 for a great nautical exhibition. Religious exercises in the churches 
 will mark the opening of the celebration. The ai rival of the 
 '• Niagara " will lie announced by a salute of bells, whistles and 
 artillery. There will be free street attractions and industrial ex- 
 hibits daily during the celebration, and extensive water pageants 
 with aeroplane au.l hydroplane exhibitions. A great illuminated 
 historical and allegorical street pageant is also scheduled as one of 
 the leading events. There will be public meetings addressed by 
 eminent Americans, civic and military parades, and the celebration 
 will close with a burlesque carnival pageant. 
 
 MILWAUKEE CELEBRATION. 
 The Sunday previous to the opening of the celebration will be 
 Perry Memorial Sunday, with special services in the churches, fol- 
 lowed by a monster mass meeting in the auditorium in the fore- 
 noon. A grand reception will be accorded the " Niagara " and her 
 escort on their arrival, Aug. 4th, by naval and military officers, 
 yachtsmen, national and state officials, city officials and the local 
 Ferry Centennial committee, the Ladies' Auxiliary, the women's clubs 
 of Milwaukee, the Milwaukee Yacht Club and the Inter-State Board 
 of the Perry's Victory Centennial Commissioners. The afternoon 
 of this day will be devoted to a great yacht regatta, and in the 
 evening there will be a Venetian parade of decorated and illuminated 
 
 canoes on the river, following vocal and instrumental concerts in 
 the city parks by singing societies and bands during the afternoon. 
 There will be extensive aquatic sports and yacht and power boat 
 races during the week, with drills by a crew from the local Llnited 
 States life saving station. There will be a great military parade 
 of the State National Guard, cavalry, artillery marines and cadets 
 from the Centennial fleet, with police battalion and semi-military 
 societies. Perhaps the greatest event of the celebration will be an 
 historical sham battle showing a naval and military engagement, 
 the Centennial fleet attacking the city and the military defending. 
 The Bay will be illuminated by fireworks, search lights and old 
 ship hulks burning. There will be ample exercises appropriate to 
 the participation of women and children in the celebration, a civic 
 parade and a red, white and blue parade of decorated automobiles 
 and carriages. The celebration will close with a grand naval and 
 military ball in the auditorium. 
 
 CHICAGO CELEBRATION. 
 
 Both state and municipal authorities are intensely interested in the 
 Chicago celebration, the present schedule of which is the week of 
 Aug 16th to Hist, inclusive, the " Niagara " being due to arrive on 
 Aug. 10th and to remain there until the 21st. The Chicago program 
 had not been elaborated on the publication of this edition of the 
 ■ , ■ i Souvenir Program, but it will be fully indicated in future 
 editions. The unequalled water front of Chicago will afford the City 
 the greatest opportunity on the Great Lakes, and perhaps in the 
 world, for a great marine display of all kinds of pleasure craft and 
 shipping. The celebration i- under the direction of competent officials 
 an d committees, and a complete program will outline an occasion en- 
 lii.lv worthy of Chicago as the great western metropolis of the 
 nation which owes so much to Perry's Victory. 
 
 BUFFALO CELEBRATION. 
 
 The official celebration of the centennial of the Battle of Lake 
 Erie will be held in Buffalo. N. Y., from the second to the sixth 
 of September, 1913, inclusive: the preceding Sabbath to be observed 
 as a national patriotic Sunday with special services in the churches. 
 Monday, September 1st, being Labor Day, a legal holiday in 
 New York State, no exercises will be held to conflict with the 
 Labor Union plans; but in the evening, in honor of the day, there 
 will be a grand illumination of the Court of Honor. 
 
 The celebration proper will open Tuesday morning, September 2d, 
 with the reception to Commodore Perry's old flagship, the " Niagara," 
 whose coming will be greeted by a vast flotilla of steam and sailing 
 boats, to escort the time-honored battleship to her anchorage in 
 Buffalo; a national salute from the guns at Fort Torter, the ringing 
 of bells ashore and steam whistles in the harbor, reception to visiting 
 officers by the Perry's Victory Centennial Commission and other 
 welcomes. From this time on until midnight of the Saturday fol- 
 lowing there will be a round of displays, parades and novel at- 
 tractions, as well as historical exercises and other functions of a 
 more formal character. The most gigantic military display that 
 ever passed along the streets of Buffalo will be the main feature of 
 September 4th. Boat races, during which, it is confidently pre- 
 dicted, all the world's records in motor boat, yacht, canoe and row 
 boat competitions, will be shattered; a great aviation meet showing 
 all the wonderful and latest products of this marvelous art, a bril- 
 liant display of fireworks, a splendid street pageant, a carefully ap- 
 pointed official banquet, reception, school children's parade and 
 numerous band concerts will be among the interesting features of 
 this never to be forgotten week.

LOCAL CELEBRATIONS 
 
 (CONTINUED) 
 
 I lans are also being made for the erection of a permanent me- 
 morial to Commodore Oliver Hazard Perry, and it is hoped that the 
 project will be suffic ently advanced to enable the corner stone of 
 a splendid monument to be laid, with appropriate ceremonies, during 
 
 the celebration week. 
 
 SANDUSKY CELEBRATION. 
 The " Niagara " and her convoys are scheduled to arrive at 
 Sandusky on September 8th, remaining through the Oth. The city 
 will doubtless arrange for a celebration extending considerably over 
 this period of two days, but the main events may be expected to 
 center in them. Sandusky prides herself on being the gateway to 
 Put-in-Bay and the Islands of Lake Erie, and the well known 
 patriotism and enterprise of her citizens may be relied upon to 
 make the celebration one of the most interesting in the chain 
 of those occurring on the Great Lakes. 
 
 CENTENNIAL CELEBRATION AT PUT-IN-BAY. 
 
 i 10th of September will be the centenary of the Battle of 
 
 Lake Ere. and the national observance of the day, by the Inter- 
 State Board of tin Per y - Victory Centennial Commissioners, will be 
 : to i i t lie Put-in-Bay Island, from which Commodore Ferry 
 set out one hundred years ago to overcome the British fleet and 
 whither lie returned after the battle. The exercises of the day at 
 the Island will be simple but impressive and of great historical sig- 
 nificance. The great column of the Perry Memorial, which it is 
 anticipated will be by that time perhaps two-thirds near completion, 
 will be dedicated under the auspicies of the Inter-State Board. The 
 of the day will be Honorable William H. Taft, former 
 --lit of the United States, and other distinguished orators 
 representing both the United States and Canada, will also be heard. 
 The program in detail will appear in subsequent editions of this 
 work. 
 
 On the following day will occur the impressive ceremony of the 
 removal from their present graves of the bones of the American and 
 British officers killed in the Battle of Lake Erie, to the crypt of 
 the Perry Memorial, where they will be re-interred with international 
 honors. The religious ceremonies incident to this occasion will be 
 participated in jointly by American and British chaplains, in token 
 of the historical fact that clerical representatives of both nations 
 joined in the original burial at Put-in-Bay one hundred years ago. 
 The incidental program will be announced, as soon as formulated, in 
 future editions of th's Souvenir Program. 
 
 CLEVELAND CELEBRATION. 
 The tentative date for the tii-st day of the Cleveland celebration 
 - tember loth, when the " Niagara " and the vessels com: 
 her escort will arrive from Detroit. A celebration of not more 
 than two or three days is planned, but u is proposed to concentrate 
 within that period events indicating the city's title to be regarded 
 a- the American metropolis most directly interested in the fruits of 
 Perry's Victory. Cleveland fifty years ago erected the first memorial 
 : i i ommodore Perry in the Middle West, and for many years her 
 ns have annually observed the Kith day of September, the an- 
 niversary of the Battle of Lake Erie, with ceremonies affording 
 ample proof of their patriotism. For the propel conduct of the 
 
 great celebra planned this yea Vlayoi Newton I' Baker has 
 
 ted a committee of IT prominent citizens to have charge of 
 the details, and the results of their labors may he- confidently ex- 
 pected to close the series of celebrations on the Great Lakes in a 
 most appropriate manner. 
 
 LOUISVILLE CELEBRATION. 
 Most appropriately the series of celebrations will conclude in the 
 City of Louisville during the week beginning September :20th, in 
 commemoration of the one hundredth anniversary of the Battle of 
 the Thames, which will fall on the 5th of October. Louisville has 
 made elaborate preparations for a memorable exhibition of true 
 Southern hospitality and patriotism, and it is believed that both 
 historically and from every other point of view a better conclusion 
 of the great series of celebrations could not be conceived than has 
 been formulated by the metropolis of Kentucky. The program in 
 detail is as follow - 
 
 Monday afternoon, September 29.— Public addresses by General 
 Bennett H. Young, author of " The Battle of the Thames," Gover- 
 nor James B. McCieary and Mayor W < >. Head. Reception to the 
 fleet of fifteen Ohio River steamboats at the wharf followed by 
 a river regatta. Monday evening: River Carnival and fireworks 
 display, depicting in pyrotechnics the Battle of Lake Erie. 
 
 Tuesday afternoon. September 30.— In Cherokee Park, reproduction

KENTUCKY'S PART IN THE WAR OF 1812 
 
 A Louisville general and Kentucky soldiers conquered from the French and Indians the 
 territory out of which was afterward carved the splendid Commonwealths of Ohio, Indiana, 
 Illinois, Wisconsin and Michigan. 
 
 A generation later a solid congressional delegation urged President Madison to declare 
 war against Great Britain. 
 
 ( hie of the earliest events of the War of 1812 was the massacre at the River Raisin, 
 near Detroit, where American troops, consisting mostly of Kentucky and Indiana soldiers, 
 including those who had surrendered, and women and children, were brutally butchered and 
 scalped by the Indians with never a word of protest from their English officers. 
 
 A similar disaster overtook the Kentucky soldiers in the first attack at Fort Meigs. The 
 American troops, consisting mostly of Kentucky soldiers, succeeded in repulsing the enemy 
 at the second attack on Fort Meigs. 
 
 More than a year of war passed before any substantial victory was effected by Ameri- 
 can arms. The first encouraging news came from a little band of 160 soldiers, commanded 
 by a young Louisville officer, Major George Croghan. who repulsed the British and Indians 
 ten times their number at Fort Stephenson, thus assuring a permanence to the conquest of 
 the Northwest territory effected by General George Rogers Clark. 
 
 One-third of the men actually engaged in the battle of Lake Erie, which resulted in a 
 victory by Perry's fleet, were Kentuckians, few of whom had ever before seen a vessel and 
 most of whom mounted the insecure rigging from which they poured their deadly fire into 
 the British ranks. 
 
 Practically every soldier in the army, as well as its officers who fought and won the 
 battle of the Thames, the crisis and decisive point in the war, were Kentuckians and 
 Indianians. 
 
 ' The Charge of the Forlorn Hope." the briefest, most terrible and most heroic encounter 
 narrated in the annals of warfare, consisted exclusively of Kentucky soldiers. 
 
 The sharpshooters who slew Packinham and won the battle of Xew Orleans were Ken- 
 tucky and Tennessee soldiers. 
 
 The American Commissioner, who practically dictated the terms of peace as between the 
 nations, was a Kentucky statesman, Henry Clay. 
 
 The Commonwealth of Indiana does not participate in the celebration of the Perry 
 Centennial, and one-half of the Commonwealth will assist in celebrating the event in Louis- 
 ville, especially as General William Henry Harrison, Commander-in-Chief of the Northwest 
 forces, fought under a commission granted not by the Federal Government, but by the 
 Governor of Kentucky, and fought by the soldiers supplied, not by the Federal Government, 
 but by the Commissioners of Kentucky. 
 
 These events will be fittingly celebrated in the Louisville celebration, September 29 t< > 
 October 5, which all America is invited to attend and especially the sons and daughters of 
 Kentucky who have migrated Xorth and West of the great rivers and the grandsons and 
 grandsons-in-law who now live in the territorv wrested from the hostile French and more 
 than hostile Indians by General George Rogers Clark and his Kentuckv troops.
