Notwithstanding the lateness of the
hour a large crowd was waiting on Park
row, where the race was finished. Quick
was the hero of the hour. He received
many congratulations ON his good ride
from Tarrytown, twenty-five miles,

pelting rainstorm,
The last relay from Tarrytown to
New York is often covered in two hours

five miles-three hours and twenty-five
minutes in spite of the most strenuous
endeavors,
In some places the riders reported the
mud was knee-deep and had to be
plowed through, while In others 1t was
necessary to dismount.
There is movement on foot TO have
another relay run over the same route
some time this fall when the roads are
in good shape, when it is believed the
trip will be made in seventy-two hours
or less.
The message was carried from Chi
cago TO New York by a 975-mile route

minutes. This is just thirteen hours
and fifty minutes behind schedule time,
but the riders labored under terrible
disadvantages, most of the route being

fully tested at the Indian Head proving
grounds Sunday. 1t was one of the ten
fourteen-inch nickel-steel diagonal plates
for the Indiana, being the first of the
battleship armor plates completed by the
Bethlehem iron works. 1t was one of
the group selected by the government
inspector for the acceptance test-that
is, the plate upon the success of which
depends the acceptance of all or more of
the class. Twenty diagonal plates for
the battleships Indiana and Massachu.
sets, aggregating about 800 tons and
representing about 100000 in value,
will at once be accepted as the result of
the test.
The result shows conclusively the
ability of American armor makers to
supply armor plate of the highest quail
ity. The conditions were more severe
than the tests imposed by foreign coun-
tries upon their armOr manufacturers.
Under the terms of the contract pro-
iectile might go nearly through the
plate and backing and be accepted if no
serious cracks were developed. None of
the three shots fired succeeded in getting
far enough into the plate to show the
backing. The three shots were fired
near the middle region of the plate,
the three points of impacts forming an
eduilateral triangle All three shots re-
bounded, one of them back to the muz-
zle of the gun, distance of 1876 feet.
The deepest penetration of any of the
proiectiles was fourteen inches. The
other two showed an inch or less pene-
tration. Only few slight cracks i'm
mediately surrounding the burr of each
orifice were made.
A 10-inch gun was used in the test.
Two of the prejectiles were the Firth,
imported, and the third was made by
the same process in this country. The
latter was thrown out entirly uninjured,
while one of the imported broke in two,
thus showing a splendid record for the
American projectile as well as the
American plate. The projectiles weighed
500 pounds and the powder charge used
was 140 pounds. giving a striking veloci-
ty of ,4l0 feet a second. MeSsrs. Dav-
export, Jaques and Meigs represented
the manufacturers at the test, and Com
mander Folger and Lieutenant Com
mander Coudon were among the ord
nance eXperus present.

Goes a Brazilian War Vessel
with 1873 Of Her Crew.
Those Below Deck Perish Like
Rats in q Hole

After Unsvai1inS Efforts to Break OpeH
Sank In Few Moments-Four OF Hel
Crew Who Were Above Deck and the
Pilot Only Saved Their Lives.
LONDON, May PA dispatch from
Montevideo says that the Brazilian
turret ship Solimoes was wrecked of
Cape Santa Maria, near the mouth Of
the Rio de Ia Plata, while en- route tc
Matte Crosse, and that but five of the
crew were saved, 1870 men being
drowned.
The Solimoes was one Of the vessek
sent by the Brazilian government with
reinforcements to suppress the rising in
the state of Matte Crosse. Captain
Castrot was among the drowned. 3
The flotilla had come on ahead of the
Solimoes, and was up the river awaiting
her arrival in order to proceed by way
Of the Paraguay river to the scene of the
revolt. At the same time that the flo
tilla left Rio .Janeiro land force was
sent by rail. 1t was to go to the end Of
the railroad route and then march into
Matte Crosse, where, after being joined
by tho troops from the flotilla, the com
bined forces were to attack the capital
of the state.
The crew of the ship numbered 1877
men. AS she was fitted out for active
service, it is probable that she did not
carry any small boats. Owing to the
dangerous nature of the low and sandy
Uruguayan seacoast, she had pilot
aboard.
just as the Solimoes was off Potonlo
Island, near Point Negra Castillos, she
struck a rock violently, bows on. The
sea was very rough at the time. All
the crew were under matches, except
four sailors and the pilot. Two of the
sailors acted as lookouts, the others
were at the wheel.
Through the immense hole made In
her hull the water rushed SO fast and
furious that the vessel sank almost i'm
mediately. OF all her crew only the
four sailors who were on deck saved
their lives. The pilot also escaped. One
hundred and twenty-three lives were
lost. The unfortunate men did not
even get a chance to gain the deck.
They were drowned like rats in a hole.
AS the water poured in the victims
seemed instantly to realize their danger,
and made frantic but unavailing effort
to dash open the hatchways. Their
cries were heartrending.
The Solim nes was two-turreted mon
itor, built of iron in England, and
launched in 1876. Her displacement was

Not knowing that it was loaded, he
