HER RETURN TRIP FAST.
Battleship Massachusetts Reaches
pbiIadeIuhia in Coed Time

Battleship Massachusetts Reaches
Philadelphia in Good Time.
Philadelphia, April 2S.-The battleship
Massachusetts, reached her wharf at Cramps
ship yard at 1876 this afternoon from her
successful trial trip off the New England
coast.
After Saturdays trial the firemen and
engineers were given Il good nights rest,
and at O'Clock Sunday morning Capt.
Sargent got under way for Philadelphia.
Despite the sea through which she was
laboring the Massachusetts logged from
IA to IA 1-2 knots an hour during most
of the day. Towards evening heavy fog
closed down around the vessel and the
speed was reduced. The fog hung ON all
night but the rising sun Monday morning
soon diSpelled il. \ short, heavy sea was
running directly astefH, which caused the
Massachusetts to roll some.
At no time. however, was the heel of the
ship greater than eight degrees and
this was when the turretS with their big
thirteen-inch guns were being turned.
ThctufretS were turned O test the autOma tic
stops which prev yent them from swinging too
sharply toward the Superstructure deck and
perhaps tearing it away with the barrels OF
the thirteen-inch rifles.
The test was also made for the purpose
of noting the effect OF the roll of the
snip upon the turning quaHueS or the
turretS. This latter test was eminently
successful. Against the heaviest swells
which passed under the ships keel the
turrets were swung easily q nd lightly in the
opposite direction to the heel of the vessel
Tt average speed of the ship from Bos-
ton light to the Della ware CapeS was 81 5
knotS an haar, and if the fog had not COM
pelied the vessel TO be run at half speed
for vs. hours ami half the average would
have been 1882.
Last night the Sassa chusetts anchored in
the Dela ware Bay at Ship John Light, and
this morning came up on the flood tide.
The progress of the vessel up the river was
a triumph and those aboard were nearly
deafcned by the constant blowing of the
siren replying TO the salutes from passing
vessels.
The tidal corrections for the trial were
worked out on the run back and they in
creased the speed of the Massachusetts
from 1918 to 1921.

CHANCE FOR BRIGHT FOLKS.
Mr.. Lifts Offer for New Title for

Mr.. Litt's offer for New Title for
"a Tammany Tiger"
Mr.. Jacob Lift wants a new name for
the play now on at the Academy entitled
"A Tammany Tiger aud offers to pay

ber of words in the new title it is possible
that the winner OF the prize may get one
hundred dollars for single word, which
is q good thing considering that Milton
only got SEQ for the whole of Paradise

is q political venture whereas it has for

are not gifted with longevity and he doesn't
