Newport, r. l., Aug. 12.-The torpe-

shoff firm at Bristol, to make speed Of
271h knots, received her second Of
fetal trial over a go mile course in Mar

she made an average speed of 2S5S. AL
though this exceeds her contract re-

trial speed of the Porter, a sister ship.

Dupont on a previous trial. This is
the third attempt of the boat to make
her trial. The first time she broke
down while going at tremendous speed.
The second time, after speeding over
the course for about SO miles, her
vacuum dropped, making a coptinu
ance unadvisahle.

to Wayne County, Ohio. and in lS47 he
came to Illinois. At this time this part
