THE PORTER A WONDER.


New York, June 12.-The United
States torpedo boat Porter was put
through her maneuvering PAGES yes
terday and came UP TO all expectations.
Three torpedoes were fired. Two worked
oXcellently, but the third was not sue
cessful. as the locking device refused
TO work. Then the little flyers ability
to twist and turn was exhibited. Her
turning circle was found TO be about
HOO feet. In reversing from full speed
ahead 10 full speed astern. and vice
versa, she proved a wonder taking only
25 seconds, and moving less than her own
length before she gained momentum in
the desired direction. After various
other tests on her maneuvering qualities
the Porter brought the board Of inspec-
ton back 10 the city. and it's members
expressed great satisfaction over the re-
suits OF the trip.
