board which conducted the trial of the ne
cruiser Baltimore last Saturday: "The trial

for four hours was 10 6-l0 knots. The
maximum speed for one hour was 20 10
knots. Complete reports cannot be fur
nished for some days"
THE PHILADELPHIA.
The Philadelphia, which was recently
launched on the Delaware, has a hull Drac-
tically the same as the Baltimore. In her
case there is no requirement as to horse
power as was the case with the Baltimore.
which was required to make 5000 horse
power, but she is guaranteed to make nine
teen knots, and should she do as well as the
Baltimore, she will net a handsome profit
to her builders. as they will receive $50 900
for every quarter knot made by the vessel
over and above nineteen knots.
