Good Reports of the Oregon.

Advices have been received at the Navy
Department concerning the preliminary
trial trips Of the Oregon, which indicate
that she will earn her builders a good
premium. On four trips she made con-
tinuous runs of six hours each, and the
engines were not stopped. 1t is expected
that the vessel will make sixteen knots an
hour. The contract requires a speed of
fifteen knots The report says she steers
like a little boat, and that the final trials
will develop not only a good speed, but a
very easily managed ship.
