The PRIDE OF OUR NAVY.
The American Cruiser New York

SHE WAS LAUNCHED TODAY.
She VIII be the Most Formidable Cruis-
ing Vessel OF Her Type In the World
A Speedy Fighter.

The war ship that was christened New
York, when launched in the presence OF a
distinguished company at Philadelphia
this afternoon, as described in another col
umn of to-days News, is the particular
pride OF the navy department.. ono
II known officially as Cruiser No.
l. She is an armored cruiser. with
great offensive and defensive qualities.
nigh rate OF speed, and great coal en-
durance. She Is the superior OF any ves-
sci Of the new navy, except the harbor
defence mentors. and IL Is believed that
she will be able TO whip anything OF any
other navy afioat. She can chase any
vessel, give a good account OF herself In
fight, and run away II she happens to
knock the chip of the wrong shoulder.
She Is bigger than any other vessel OF the
white squadron, and IL Is a befitting honor
that she is to be named after the Empire
State.
When the New York is completed and
anoat she will have cost the United states
In the ncigbborhcod OF s3,00O,ooo. Should
she exceed her guaranteed speed OF twenty
kIots for four consecutive hours, her
builders will receive bonus OF $50 600 Tor
every quarter knot When II is remem-
ber~d that the Cramps won s1S5.6Oo on the
Philadelphia and SlS3, ,124 so on the Newark,
Baltimore and Yorktown. II Is fair to pre-
sumo that these successful builders viii
exceed even their former efforts.
Following are the principal dimensions.

With 1900 tons OF coal in her bunkers
and stored on deck, she will be able to
steam 49, 900 miles, which Is a remarkable
endurance. She has the ram bows and
high freeboard Of the large cruisers, but
her stern is lighter, indicating the effort
to produce a speedy model. Having a
high freeboard, her guns may be worked
In a seaway, eight-inch rifles being % feet
above water. In the absence OF sail
power, the entire dependence must be on
her twin screws. The two masts are for
fighting and signalling purposes. and are
to be provided with protected tops. She
has four decks, including the protective
deck and a aying deck. or bridge, for
boats.

For some reason or other Mayor Pond is
not as popular with the rank and file of
his party as in the good old times" Two
years ago, when he first took his seat in
the mayors chair, a majority of over 400
was placed to his credit. A year later il
was reduced TO 230, and chould it continue
in the same proportion until Dec. I, 1891,
il will entirely disappear. His veto Of a
small appropriation 10 repair the High
School building, which was very much
needed and had been promised by the
finance committee, for very unsatisfac-
tory reasons, awoke Mayor Ponds con-
stituents TO the fact that the worthy gen
tleman was not practising what he
preached. Men who know confidently
assert that the head of the Democratic
ticket will run behind his ticket, especial
ly in the Third ward, at this coming cleo
tion, and that Aram j. Pother will re-
ceive great many more votes than many
persons dream of.

that there was no money in that game and
so turned his attention to boxing. His
success was simply wonderful. He won
the championship of the world as a light
weight Then he gained weight rapidly,
gave McAuliffe the championship and be-
came "A middleweight. Again was his sue
cess phenomenal. He defeated all comers,
in fact, won more real victories than any
man i'm the world to-day, but his fighting
days over and the ring has lost its only

Sailor Brown has been losing ground

met defeat again, this time in Montreal at

light weight champion. The Sailor, was

I'd Benny of Boston who defeated the
"Black Pearl" in San Francisco Monday
night, is one of the best middle weights
in the business, aud If he takes care of
himself will make some OF the tip-toppers

although he never appeared in these plan
tations Last winter, when John
Cattanach Gspired TO ring honors, he was
taken TO Boston for IA trying out" at the
Ajax club. Benny, although "a middle
weight was pitted against him and Cat
tanach can tell something OF how the
"I}lack Pearl felt on Monday night. lie

Cattanach quit" cold and decided right
there that he had no business in the ring.
The challenge Cattanach had intended To
issue TO Jim Dolan, had he cod the test,
did not appear and John has never laid
claim TO ring lourels since. Once was
enough for him.
