many congressman, and indeed some
members of the Rivers and Harbors

Rappahannock river is nothing more
than large ditch and by reason OF
this sort of an idea, they have been
n little backward about giving us
the relief we so much need.

NEVADA DID WELL
ON HER TRIAL TRIP
NEW MONITOR HAD SMOOTH SEA
AND WESTERLY BREEZE MADE
BETTER TIME THAN THE CON-
TRACT GALLO FOR.

Rocl1fort Mass, December 18-On her
official trial over the Cape Ann course
today, the United States monitor Nevada,
made an average speed of 1895 knots,
exceeding by considerable margin, the
contract requirement of 11.5 knots.
The Nevada had a smooth sea and
westerly breeze today, q combination
which could not have been better in the
opinion of the representatives of the
Bath Iron works, the builders The course
for the trial was total length of 26.4
nautical miles, divided into four legs of
66 knots each, the start being a point
northeast of Eastern Point Light on Cape
Ann, and the outward mark of New
bury Port, 1872 knots away. At no time
was the Nevada under forced draught.
The fastest legs were over the same
water, the first and fourth, the former
being covered in 20 minutes, or equal. to
1876 knots and the latter in Is minutes
81 seconds, or 1879 knots. The second
and third legs were made at speed OF
1913 and 12.S7 knots respectively.
The Nevada was built at the Bath Iron
works at cost of little less than ST.
00O 900 and is intended for harbor defense.
She Is 252 feet long and carried eight-inch
armor Her armament consists of two
Finch guns, four 4-inch guns and several
fiVe-pounders.
