PHILADELPHIA. Sept. 1.-THE cruiser Column
bia returned to the yard OF her builders this
afternoon with the record-breaking figures Of
Il $40" flying from her mast and received
an ovation as she passed up the river.
After being anchored all night at the Brown.
the cruiser was turned seaward this morning.
but the water was rough. and after proceeding
a short distance of Cape Henlopen 1t was de-
cided to begin the trial. 1t only lasted for q
few minutes. but 1t was sufficiently long to
demonstrate that the Columbia would meet
the governme entail requirements.
The maximum speed was at the rate OF
81 $40 knots per hour. and the indicated
horse power at this time was $4,000. The ves-
sci did not roll nor pitch and the wave she
made both at bow and stern was much less
than that OF the cruiser New York.
The propeller made 12O to 125 revolutions
per minute. while the cruiser was going at full
speed. Her steering qualities were superb.
Edwin S. Cranp. the only member Of the
firm who was aboard the Columbia. would not
express any opinion regarding the result Of
the triple propeller experiment. for the reason
that the boat did not go far enough seaward.
Mr. Cramp expressed himself as being san
guine that the vessel would meet all require
ments the official trial trip about two
weeks hence, but it is probable that another
preliminary trip will be made In the mean
time. The guaranteed horse power Is 10000.
and this. the builders say. will be reached.
