CRUISER
STARTS ON
TRIAL TRIP

Boston. Nov PA clear sky and
scarcely perceptible western breeze made
the weather conditions extremely favor
able for the trial trip OF the new cruiser
Pennsylvania. built for the United states,
over the Cape Ann course today. The
trial board yesterday decided that the
Pennsylvania should leave Boston hsrbor
early today for Rockport, the starting
point for the trial.
The course mapped out is a miles up
the coast and return. and is divided into
seven sections. marked by warships as
stakeboats. In order 10 be accepted by
the government the Pennsylvania must
maintain an average speed OF p knots an
hour for four consecutive hours.
Cape Porpoise, Maine. Nov. 3.-The
Pennsylvania passed the last stakeboat
ct the end OF the first leg OF a. miles at
10 50:S as timed from shore. She could
be seen fairly well. II the time observed
at the start off Rockport. s:4 o'clock. was
correct, the Pennsylvania made an
average speed OF 22S1 knots for the first
half OF her course. She required u
minutes and 13 seconds In turning. a
shorter time than the Colorado took. and
crossed the line al IL .04:21 for the return.
u
from shore the cruiser Pennsylvania made
an average speed Of at least 25 knots on
her trial today.
Rockport. Mass, Nov. 23.-The Penn
sylvania passed the finish mark. as timed
from shore, at Is seconds past 1 o'clock.
The weather had cleared somewhat, so
that a fairly accurate observation could
be made. According 10 shore time the
Pennsylvania consumed 1;59:0s on the
run up the coast, and 1:5554 on the run
back.
These figures would show an average
speed OF about 22:75 knots for the course.
but owing 10 the fact that the time Of
the start was not clearly seen. the speed
shown may have been somewhat slower.
At any rate. allowing a margin OF four
minutes at the start. which would make
the run up the coast consuming hours,
3 minutes and seconds. the cruiser has
shown a speed exceeding 22.5. according
10 shore estimates This shows her to be
the fastest Of her class. the average
shown by the Colorado the first Of her
class 10 he tried. having been 2226 knots,
and that of the. West Virginia three
weeks ago 22.14.
The fact that the Pennsylvania con
sumed considerably less time in making
the turn at the upper end OF the course
also is taken as an indication that she
Is faster than the others.
