The Day Dream left her moorlng at the dock,Of the
Continental Works, Greenpont, at half-past ten
O'Clock yesterday morning for her trial trip up into
the Sound. She had on board her owner, Mr.. Will

John Aspnwall, DR.. L. N. Smith, naval architect;
MIR. George Reynolds, superintendent OF the
II.
manager OF the Continental Works ana her captain,
Mr.. RawsOn. The weather was anything but favor
able. sharp and CHILLING wind blew from the
northwest and with thai came a thick, soaking
cold drizze, which, considering that every available
place OF shelter in the vessel was occupied by car
penters. painters and plumbers was
VERY UNPLEASANT, TO SAY THE LEAST.
Though she had every inch of her 600 square yards
ofcanvas slowed aboard 1t was decided yesterday to
try her temper under bare poles After leaving the
dock she steamed saucily up the East River against
a strong ebb tide and right in the eye OF the wind.
the old maniacs Notifications on the upper end
OF Blackwes island, however, the steering gear
began to show itself little out OF order, and while
endeavOring TO avoid a collision with banded fleet
of canal boats which were beng towed down the
river, the Day Dream became entirely uncontrol-
able, rounded the island ION her own hook" and
headed down tue river on the other side. After
she was brousht back to her dock, where she ar
rived at quarter past twelve O'Clock. Here Dr.

Both wind and rde were now much stronger against
her than before, but she appeared to care nothing
for either. She passed through Hell Gate splendid
style. the strong current being unable to pnsn her
course She arrived or Fort schuyler at twenty
minutes past three, and little farther on it was
determined TO try her speed over a measured dis
lance. The result Was, she accomplished
TWO AND A QUARTER MILES IN NINE MINUTES
against wind and tide which IS equIvaient 20 fifteen
knots an hour. This, considering her new engines
and the other Inevitable disadvantages which a
newly built vessel has always TO contend against,
was considered highly satisfactory When or
