The Chicago Tribune Gays: "The steamer Ben
Drake gave Smiths new. angle reaction propeller
wheel fair trial yesterday. and when the fact is
taken into consideration that it was too large a
wheel for the brakes motive power, it worked
quite satisfactorily The wheel in question is
five and one-half feet in diameter, when one five
feet would have answered. During her trip to
Evanston and return the average speed attained
was nine miles an hour, and 10S revolutions
per minute were made by the wheel, whereas
las revolutions had been made with
the old style wheel. The vessel
was checked up quickly yesterday, and was rap
idly backed in making landings. Captain Cox
is well pleased with the wheel, but desires a
smaller one, or else he will reject it, The one
now on tie Drake was intended for the ting Mo- |
sher. which has a double engine, and therefore
power sufficient to move it. but MIR. Durham de-
sired the experiment to be made on ths Drake,
and it was done. Mr.. Smith has telted his wheel |
on the Illinois river, and claims economy and
additional speed for 1t as compared with others |
now in general use. He says he can put wheel |
in the Drake that will run her twelve miles an |
hour at least"
