A MILE IN 2.12
Is What M0nrO's Steam Yacht Norwood
Did Saturday.

NEW YORK, Nov 8.-Tha wonderful
little steam launch Norwood, owned by
Norman L. MORO, had public trial Of
speed Saturday afternoon After having
covered the fitst mile in 2m l2s, or over
27 miles ar hour, she met with bad luck
and had to cease her efuris.
A mishap occurred when sbou. two thirds
of ,he second mile had been steamed over
The spring in tie safety valve gave way
under the pressure of 200 pounds, letting
the steau run down in few seconds to 100
pounds, and, although the launch kept on
for the full mile, she could not attain the
speed Of which she is capable.
The trial took place on the inner bay. A
course OF one statute mile was measured on
from in front OF the A lsntic Yacht CLUBS
houss st Bay Riige. Oae Of the obj cts
OF the tsss was to demonstrate that the Nor
wood is q faster boat than ths Hsrreshoh
steam yacht Vsmoose, owned by Mr. W
r Hearst. The Vamoose short time ago
made similar test over the measured mile,
c,verir four miles in so, 2 30 ad 35,
respe ctively, or an average OF 36 !.
THIS is an average of % OF statute miles
Al hour for four miles.
Mr.. Munro believed the Norwood could
make better time. The conditions were
favorable for the trial. The tide had just
begun 20 flow toward the sea, and only q
light breeze wss blowing from point west
By roth,
RsisIpg her bow out Of water few
inches ard poisirg or the top Of her own
wave, TIE trim little racer responded to her
poeerfui motive power with the ease Of a
sparrow hawk She jumped ahead faster
and faster, until at the flag she was skim
ming the water like gull, and che went
down the course rs straight IS the flight of
a pigeon.
Notwithstanding the rspidiiy Of her en-
aines, there was scarcely any vibration for
ward. From the behavior OF the NorSood
it was hard to imagine that she was goir z
at the rapid rate OF nearly 80 miles an
hour. She rode on an even keel, ooe7ed
her rudd,r promptly ard went smoothly
over the water. A lock at the watch as
the plsce drew near or q glance toward the
shore were all that indicated bef speed. As
the fig shot past, time was called and
marked down. Mr.. Curry's watch showed
2 minutes IL 2 seconds, while the one
held by Mr.. Pesse registered minutes
IL 2 s seconds. This is the fastest time
ever made in this country by launch in
official public trial
Having inside her frst mile i, this fast
time, the Nor-ood ran on and n1sde wide
turn. Then she headed for the lover has
and started hsck. She was in better shape
for the IS cond mile than the fi'si, her boiler
Masking steam fsster than her engines could
clnsume ii. ard her safety valve went Cd
at 200 pounds pressre.
1t was no use trying to spring the valve.
II had give way snd the boiler could not do
its WORK. AT the end Of the mile Mr..
Curry's watch vas stopped at 2 26 and the
other At 2 &c 2 8.
TIE Nor r,ood undoubtedly proved to be
q very fast srrintsr, but Mr.. Munroe viii
net be satisfied until he shows that she car
hold her pace for more thsn one mile, OF
two, or three.
