all future battleships to strive for.
The Illinois had made 1871 knots.
But as a fighter? 1t is not enough
that battleship can steam fast. She
must be able to vanquish her ad-
versary after running her down. Can
the Illinois do this? Let Fighting
Bob" Evans answer:
''The English sometimes say VIC
overburden our ships with armament.
That is what the fighting ship is for
to carry all the guns she can effectu-
ally use. She is a floating battery,
and if she can hurl more weight of
metal than her enemy. and can hurl
it as accurately and timely, she will
win, and the ship is built to win.
She must get to her lighting ground
quickly, and Outright her foe.
Il believe the Illinois can do both.
I believe she is the tleetest ship of
her tonnage and lighting power on
the sea to-day and can whip anything
that can now force her to fight, and
many battleships that she could force
to fight her on her own terms"

came round beautifully righting her
self. and seemed to leap back into
the path for her squirt home. She
behaved exquisitely under the severe
strain. neither listing too much in the
abrupt swings to starboard and to
port nor throbbing or quivering under
the immense tension of her engines.
At the finish, the Illinois made the
usual figure 49," to show how quickly
she can turn, and swept a complete
circle within three times her own
length.

settled down to her race

marked out for her to prove that she
was the swiftest. and withal the most
terrible, sea-fighter of her class afioat.
She gave the impression that the
beauty and splendor she will some day
wear had been renounced, and that
here she was to exhibit only her
winged power of flight and her deadly
strength. SO stripped was she that
every muscle seemed laid bare. and
she was still begrimed with the sweat
