Newport Above Contract Speed.

Bath, May 2s.-Revised figures on the
result of yesterdays trial of the United
States gunboat Newport, show very little
difference in the average speed from that
already announced.
The inpectors have not yet fully COM
pleted their calculation, but it is thought
the final result will show a speed of about
1911 knots, which is Slightly above the
contract requirement.
The official figures when announced
later showed even better speed than had
been predicted, as the experts found that
the gunboat made 1873 knots with reyo-
buttons averaging 142. $685.

They Favor Riverton.

Many ladies, representing the different
clubs of the Women's Literary Union,
met at the home of Mrs. William D.
Pennell on Horton street, Lewiston,
Thursday afternoon, and discussed the
place and time of the proposed outing
and quarterly meeting of the Union.
Most of the ladies favored Riverton, a
resort near Portland, which came into
popularity last summer by electric road
connection.
Mrs. Pennel1 and Mrs. Fred Kelley
were appointed to visit Riverton and
