THE CHICAGO.
4 Cruiser That Has FULFILLED the Condi-
tions on Which 1t Was Built.

lions on Which IL was Built.
When il was determined to reconstruct the
United States navy some years ago, John
Roach, Of Chester, Pa, was given q contract
to build -four steel vessels. Tho last Of these,
the Chicago, made her trial trip in December
last.
The Chicago was without masts or guns,
but was weighted TO bring her down TO the
mean draft when these are furnished. The
trial trip was made under the command of
Capt. II. b. Robson on Long Island sound, q
run of six hours at full speed. Starting at
Execution rocks she steamed eastward for
three and a half hours, then westward for
two and a half hours-the tide being adverse
both ways-returning to the Brooklyn navy
yard.
The Chicago is q twin screw cruiser. Her
length is 334 Is feet over all; depth, 3i34
feet from cardboard streak TO under side of
spar deck; extreme breadth, 4S Is feet,
main draught at lead line, 10 feet; displace-
ment, 1900 tons; indicated horse power,
5000. She is divided into ten main
water tight compartments, four Of which,
amidships, are occupied by boilers and en-
gines, with a double bottom underneath.
Her power consists of twc compound over
head beam engines, which has led to some
sharp criticism by English authorities in
naval architecture, it being claimed that
such machines are obsolete. The engines are
also REGARDED too heavy for the amount of
power developed, and the boilers are con-
sidered faulty. The cruiser will be bark
rigged. The trip was quite successful, the
power developed being quite up TO the re-
quirements of the contract. She will, how
ever, take considerable water, as was shown
on the trial trip.

WORLD OF SPORTS.

Says the Buffalo correspondent of Sport
 ing life: One short year ago Mickey Welsh pitched one of his greatest games against the Rochester team and retired them with out a run, after which the team left for a trip. One week later he strained his arm in Wilkesbarre and although no serious consequences was feared he was given a rest, and pitched but two additional games during the season. But that afternoon in Wilkesbarre marked the beginning of the decline of the star of the greatest and most popular pitcher that ever wore Emf falos red stockings,or ever will mule or no mule, This season his arm was in no con- dition and his work was not up to his old standard. So on Monday last, after Satur- days defeat, Mickey Welsh was released.
