BATTLESHIP GEORGIA MAKES RE.
CORD RUNS.

The battleship Georgia, built
by the Bath Iron Works, at Bath,
Me-, began her builders 'itrial last
week. 1t was planned to make four
runs at varying rates of speed
over the governments measured
mile course. The requirtd con-
tract speed is 10 knoJs. The wind
was fair and the weather clear.
The Georgia went over the
measured course five times at the
top speed. On the fifth run effort
was made to show record mile,
and the big warship dashed the
spray even to the turrets.
The corrected figures show a
mile at the rate Of 20.12 knots,
and the announcement was greeted
with cheers. Tidal connections,
however, reduced the speed to
10. 1914 knots.
