Another Addition to the United
States Navy Successfully
Launched.
WAS BUILT BY THE UNION IRON WORKS,
She IL One of . Quartette of Coast
Defense Vessels Designed to
Secure the Greatest Results with
the Least Expenditure-Her Di-
mensions and Armament.

San Francisco, Sept. 8.-The United
States coast defense monitor Wyo-
ming was successfully launched, at
high tide, from the ship yard of the
Union iron works in the presence OF
thousands of enthusiastic people,
lined along the shores or crowded on
excursion steamers. The event had
been made feature of the semi
centennial celebration of California;
admission into the union. The lanuch-
ing was managed without hitch by
Superintendent Dickie, of the Union
iron works.
Preliminary Work.
The monitors hull was supported
by shores over the sliding ways.
Early in the morning worl<men be-
gan ramming in wedges so as to
create an incline of one foot to six
teen feet. Later on most of the
blocks sustaining the ship were
knocked away, and by 1880 o'clock
every thing was in readiness for the
launching. About the bows of the
vessel a platform had been built for
the guests of honor, including Gov.

ened the vessel by breaking the usual
bottle of wine and exclaiming 81
name thee Wyoming" as the last
supporting props were removed and
the monitor started from the ways
and slid slowly into the sea.
Cheered by Spectators.
When the vessels stern touched the
water, the spectators sent up a
mighty cheer, which, however, was
soon drowned in the din made by
scores of steam whistles.
Little more than the hull of the
Wyoming is finished, but work is be-
ing pushed forward.
