General HYDE of Bath is entitled to
the praises of every man, woman and
child in Maine, and of everybody else
who is interested in the State and in
the development of great industries
within her borders
The trial trip of the new naval gun
boat "Machas" which Gen. HYDE
built Oh contract with the government,
at his establishment known as the
Bath Iron Works. showed that a
Maine builder, with Maine skill and
Maine workmen. has turned out the
best warship of its class ever built in
the world.
The officers Of the navy who visited
the "Machias," and conducted the
trial. declared that she is the best
built, the best flushed, the steadiest,
staunchest, and most complete ship of
her kind in the navy.
To show how steady she is, aud how
little j, her vibration, it is only neces-
sary to quote from Letter which Sen
ator Hale received Just after the trial
was over in which it was stated that
"a glass tumbler, filled clear to the
brim with water. was placed on table
