Yesterdays conditions of wind and sea
were absolutely perfect for the trial.
There was only a slight breeze blowing,
and the water was smooth. On the trip
up the course, with tide against the ship,
the distance of 4l19 knots was accom-
plished at the rate of 20.66 knots an hour,
exactly the speed of the cruiser New
York, on her preliminary trial over the
same course. four years ago. Without
Stacking speed, the Brooklyn made a
wide turn and started back on the sec-
ond leg of the race. on this trip the
engineers were able to get more speed
our of her, the average being 21.2S knots
an hour. This brought the mean aver
age for the round trip up to 20.97 knots
an hour, or a trifle less than Il 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 these at the upper
end of the course, on the down trip, the
ship was speeded up TO an average Of q
knots for distance of seven knots. Fol-
about two miles the the average was
2eia knots.
This great speed was accomplished
under circumstances that were eminent
ly satisfactory, both to the representa-
tives Of the Cramps and the naval officers
on board The engines worked beauti-
fully. The highest number of revolu-
tions was 1876 a minute, but the average
was less than 13O This average can be
exceeded by at least five revolutions a
minute.

F. Bryan Ham Saw Free
Silver Boom Coming.
Made Augury Months Before
Convention Was Held.
Little Wager With Himself on the
Result of the Election.

Frar kiln Bryan Ham says that II Nc
Kinley is elected he Will throw up his
job. He isn't a betting man but he has
mado stake against himself and will
forfeit 1t IL the Ohio man wallops the
kid from Nebraska. There will be a
chance for new deputy sheriff.
Months ago, in fact the day after Chi
cago was selected as the meeting place Of
the Democratic Convention, Deputy
Sheriff Ham called at tho White House
and had cheerful talk with the nations
chief executive. In the coure OF pleasant
conversati on the President asked Franklin
Bryan Ham: "How's things?" lie
seemed 10 get the idea that the Rhode
Island man was soothsayer.
He Is and The NEWS can prove it.
Mr.. Ham looked at the master OF the
White House and raising mis- right arm
with hand extended and index finger i'm
pressiyely raised, said:
"The man who Is nominated at Chicago
will be the next President Of the United
States"
What?' said the President.
"That's what said Franklin. "The
man will be named at Chicago.
"No, you don't say so."
"Yes, sir-ree."
Now recoilect this was only the day
after the city had been named for
the convention. Anyone can con-
ceive the feelings OF the President for
months before he had given up all hope
for the Democracy and felt resigned to
Republican rule for the four years begin
ming March. 1897. Mr.. Ham said more.
lie said that the Chicago convention
would be for silver, and the South and
West will lick the boots out OF the North
and East.
"Pshaw," said the President.
"Tbat's my prediction, said the White
House visitor, "and you see il l amt
right. I'm no proI het nor ,he son of a
prophet, but what I'm telling you will
come true.''
The President felt depressed instead Of
cheered after the Rhode ISLANDER went
away.
MIR. Ham called on an influential lawyer
friend in the nations capital who be-
lieved In lot of sound money and he
told him the same thing.
Recollect, gentle reader that up to this
time free silver was but a speck on the
horizon, that FREQ silver speech came in
whispers and that William Jennings
Bryan hadn't applied the cross of gold or
4 ba nf 10
thinking about himself.
Recollect that, il you wish to get
proper conception OF the prognosticsting
strength of our deputy sheriff.
Arriving home Mr.. Ham made he same
statement to local disbelievers. Some Of
them made note Of 1t and offered 10 bet,
but MIR. Ham refused TO bet, but he said
that IL his forecast did not come true he
would give up his position as deputy
sheriff. This was as much as he could
possibly risk because 1t meant that he
would thereafter have to earn his daily
bread by the sweat Of his brow.
Every hing has come true except the
downfall of gold and the election OF
Bryan.
MIR. Ham believes Will all come true
talks about II every day, argues for free
silver on every corner and has no
thought of losing his job.
BY way Of a clincher Franklin Bryan
Ham says that when Mckinley takes tho
stump for himself he will stump 1t for
Bryan.
