Aermined to sell her if that amount
can be secured.
"Iti is suggested, however, that one
of the South or Central American govs
ernments would probably find her
great bargain at double or treble that
figure.
Her hull ard machinery cost near

more.

tract to cost, ready for sea, about

THE OLD H1RTFORD REBUTLT.


Admiral Farragut's One-Time Flag
| ship to Become Training ship.
! An event of peculiar interest in the
| American navy will take place in Sep
| TENDER, when the sloop of war Hartford
Admiral Farragut's famous old flagship
which has been reconstructed, will BIZ
placed in commission at the Mare Island
navy yard. The Hartford Is to be USED
cruits, and will be the first vessel in the
navy to be devoted to such purpose.
AS soon as she is put in commission
the Hartford will come to the Atlantic
coast, and it is very likely that New
York will be given a chance to once
more behold the tried craft with
which the name of Farragut is so close
ly associated in history.
When the Hartford gets here she will
probably be ordered to Connecticut wa
tiers for a brief stay. 1t has been sug-
gested that the people of this city pre-
sent to the famous ship a silver service.
The Hartford was launched at Boston
in 1858. AS originally built she was full
rugged, 225 feet long on the water line,
had beam of forty-four feet, dis
placement of about $3.50 tons, and drew
sixteen feet of water. She carried near
ly twenty thousand square feet Of cam
vas and was fitted with the best en-
gines and boilers made III those days.
Her armament consisted of fourteen
nine-nch smooth bore guns and num-
Der Of other guns of lesser caliber.
The career of the Hartford in the war
of the rebellion is a matter of familiar
history. Her usefulness as a fighting
craft departed with the advent of the
modern armor-clad and she was relega-
ted to place in Rotten Row." at the
Mare Island navy yard, there to go the
war of all obsolete naval craft. But
half a dozen years ago it was decided to
convert the famous old vessel into q
training ship, and authority was given
for her reconstruction.
The work of rebuilding the Hartford
was begun in 1894 The war with Spain
Interrupted the progress of the work, but
it has since been resumed and Is now
practically complete.
Except in name the Hartford is sub
stantially a new ship, having been fitted
with modern machinery and armament.
She is now bark-rigged, and In place of
her old smooth-bore rifles carries thir-
teen five-inch guns of the rapid-fire
type, four six FOUNDER and one three
FOUNDER rapidflre guns. Her steaming
speed will be about twelve knots an
hour and, with the help of her canvas,
she is expected to make fifteen knots.
Commander John M. Hawley has been
assigned to the command of the Hart
ford, and Lieutenant Alexander Sharp,
Jr., who commanded the spunlSy little
Vixen in the war with Spain, will be her
executive officer.
Following out new plan Of the navy
to give the central and
western states chance for proper rep
resentation in the enlisted branch of the
navy, Lieutenant Sharp will spend the
time between now and the date of the
of the Hartford enlisting
men in the sections named. About three
hundred men are to be recruited in this
fashion, and these, with a force of about
one hundred and fifty experienced sea-
men, will form the complement of the
famous ship on it's first cruise as train
ing vessel.-Hartford Times.

Saturday; at any rate, the Yale team
will make q most persistent fight for
victory. Robertson who pitched the
star game last Saturday, will doubtless

freely batted Cook will be substituted.
The team has been doing some very
good work this week. and has not in

afternoon before leaving for New York.
Tt is quite likely that the students will
give the team send-off as 1t departs.
