New Cruiser Makes Successful Trial Trip
Averaging Nearly Twenty-one Knots.

New Cruiser Makes n Successful Trial Trip,
Averaging Nearly Twenty-one Knots.
BOSTON, Aug. 25.--The Brooklyn was
given a preliminary trial under forced
draft over the official course between Cape
Ann and Cape Porpoise yesterday. The
average speed for the round trip Of SO
knots was 20.97 knots en- hour, a very sat
isfaotory performance, all things consider
ed. The contract calls for a speed Of 90
knots an hour In a run OF four consecutive
houra For each quarter knot above this
a speed premium Of $50, 900 is allowed the
builders. It Is believed that on the Off
oial trial tomorrow a speed of 21K knots
will be recorded, In which event the ship
will earn for the Cramps the handsome
bonus of $500, 600. The conditions Of wind
and sea were absolutely perfect for the
trial There was only slight breeze blow
ing, and the water was as smooth az glass.
On the trip up the course, with the tide
against the ship, the distance of Al Il knots
was accomplished at the rate Of 20. So
knots an hour, exactly the speed Of the
cruiser New York on her preliminary trial
over the same course four years ago. With
out Stacking speed, the Brooklyn made a
wide turn and started back on the second
leg of the race On this trip the engineers
were dDle 10 get more speed Oub OF nor, bne
average being 21.2S knots an hour. This
brought the mean average for the round
trip up TO e0.97 knots an hour, or tri1e
less than 81 knots an hour.
The course Is divided into six stretches,
averaging nearly seven knots each in
length. Can buoys are used for markers,
and between two Of those, at the upper end
Of the course on the down trip, the ship
was speeded up to an average Of 99 knots
for distance Of seven knots. For about
two miles the average was 22H knots
This great speed was accomplished un-
der circumstances that were eminently
satisfactory both to the representatives Of
the Cramps and the naval officers on board.
The engines worked beautifully, not a
drop Of water being used on the bearings.
The highest number Of revolutions was
1876 minute, but the average was less
than 130 This average can be exceeded
by at least five revolutions a minute, and
II the Brooklyn does this on the official
trial tomorrow the speed ought to be at
least 81 u knots an hour.

valenciennes lace at the edge, headed with
entire deux waists of the same soft mate
rial, having sleeves Of lace and long belts Of
ribbon in three shades OF rose color meet
ing in clusters, which had the effect Of
big roses.
The hats worn with these gowns were
of rose leaf pink chiffon, edged with cream
oolored vAlenoiennes lace and trimmed
with white ostrich plumes. These gowns
were worn by Miss Edith Shepard, Miss
Emily Vanderbilt Sloane and Miss Leila
Sloane, cousins Of the bride; Miss Mabel
Gerry and Miss Taylor, daughter of Mr..
H. A. c. Taylor.
Little Miss Gladys Vanderbilt, sister Of
the bride, and the groom's youngest sis
ter, Miss Dorothy Whitney, were also In
attendance on the bride. They wore at
traotive gowns of white organdie, trimmed
with cream oolored lace, pink sashes, fluffy
lace collars and circular skirts
Immediately after the ceremony an in
formal reception was held, followed by a
breakfast served in the great dining room.
Besides the bridal table, there were ton
small tables, eech of which accommodated
six persons That number, with the bri-
dal party, which included IA, were, In all,
about 70 people at the breakfast.
Two rooms at The Breakers are filled
with the presents estimated at cash val
ne of $3.50, 900.
The necklace of pearls sent to Miss Van
derbilt by Mr.. Oliver H. Payne, uncle of
Mr.. Henry Payne Whitney, is said to be
one Of the most magnificent in this ooun-
try. 1t consists of five strings of beauti-
fully matched pearls.
The banquet hall, which is two stories
high and 90 feet square, was decorated
luxurlously. From the capitals of the
columns which support the gallery fell
cascades Of asparagus and maidenhair fern,
bearing a flood Of white lilies, hydrangeas,
white and pink roses and white and pink

and when Mr. Bryan faced them the peo-
pie were packed In solid masses over Sow
eral acres Of pavement and sod, with ad-
venturous men ollnging like bouquets IN
the branches Of trees and climbing tele-
graph and lamp posts. His appearance, as
be stepped upon the flag draped platform
with the familiar strains OF Hail TO the
Chief" clamoring In his ears, kindled a
fierce shout which swelled into three
cheers, with hundreds Of hats and hand
kerchiefs In the air. He was escorted by
Messrs Chase and Pratt, Recorder James
Mathews, Postmaster Woods and Collector
John z. Masterson Senator Hill was not
there Mr. Chase, In introducing the ora
tor had but few words, saying:
"This is plain meeting for the plain
people, where there Is 10 be no fuss and no
feathers. There is but one man you wish
TO soc, but one man you wish TO hear 1
have the honor to introduoe him to you
the Democratic candidate for president
of the United States, the Hon, William j.
Bryan of Nebraska.
Mr.. Bryan spoke at some length, pre-
senting with olearness and force the free
poinage arguments, and concluded by say
ing;
~ appeal TO you TO join with us II your
judgments sustain that action, in trying
to bring back to the people a monetary
system which they had and would have
had until now but for its being struck
down in the night without discussion be-
fore the American people. When this has
been accomplished, other things win be
possible. Until this is accomplished, no
other thing is possible
At the conclusion Of the speech Mr..
Bryan and his party took the train on
their westward journey.
Those who have travelled with the oan-
didate since his nomination say that nc
demonstration in the campaign has ex-
celled this at Albany in intensity and on
ly those at Chicago and Pittsburg in point
of numbers

celery stalks, slice and boil in
quart of water from an hour and q
