The BattIeship Now York Proves to he
the Fastest Cruiser Ever Built.
BosToN, May 23.-With forward tor
pedo tubes buried deep in the sea and
the water pushed almost as high as her
forecastle the armored cruiser New
York steamed across the line Monday,
breaking the worlds record and win
ming for her builders the largest premi-
um ever paid in this country. When 81
knots was predicted as the speed for the
new cruiser many hoped but few believed
that her engines would ever be able to
drive such an immense mass of steel
through the water at this rate When
she crossed the line, however,
with speed of 21.oe knots through
the water. and SEINE corrections yet
to be added for tide, the enthusiasm on
board was intense Mondays per-
Torrance off the Massachusetts coast
will be echoed from one end of Europe
to the other, for it places the United
States in the van among the navies of
the world and gives us not only the
most powerful but the swiftest armored
cruising vessel
