rxcnrLENCE SHOWN BY CRUISER
 PENNsYLvANIA-
wAiIe No Attempt is Made to Push New Vessel, She Exceeds the Speed Requirement. of the
 Government.

Boston. Nov. 2s.-The armored cruiser Pennsyivania In her official trip of the New England coast today made the highest speed with the smallest refative expenditure of fuel of any armored vessel so far built for the United states Navy. Her contract called for % knots and her average speed for the four hours trial was .2s.4s knots per hour while her coal consumption was 2.2 pounds per horse power per hour.
 Her builders, William Cramp and Son of Philadelphia, made no attempt througnout the trial to push this, their greatest vessei,3 but on the other hand bent their energies to exceed the gov ernment requirement. for most eeo- homie expenditure of~ fuel possible Her trial was therefore the first of the numerous tests over the Cape Ann course where speed was not the sought for object.
 The day was perfect for a trial, a moderate breeze at the start. falling to 8 flat calm at the finish while the sea throughout was very smooth. At one time for s.s knots the speed of the Pennsylvania was 23.2.
 There was considerable interest in comparing her effort today with that of her consort, the Colorado which preceded her from the Cramps yard only a month before. While the lat ter made a 6.6 knot spurt at the rate of 23.294 per hour her average for the entire course of ss miles was 22.23 knots compared with the Pennsylva- usa's 22.48.
 The economy in fuel consumption, aoording to Edwin s. Cramp was due to rigid discipline in the fire room and the excellence of the boilers. The engine developed a horsepower of over 2s.900 while the propelIers averaged l3s. revolutions per minut@
