miral Evans which arrived here to-day
from the Massachusetts target grounds
Not only has the Maine broken the
American record. but it IS believed she

tire broadside while steaming 1T twelve
miles an hour. The gunners Of the Maine
fred a shot broadside Of G-inch rifles at
a target two miles away, and made the
marvellous record Of twenty-nine hits out
Of a possible thirty-nine.
Five of the 6-!nch guns were used, the
programme being 10 fire the broadside
at regular intervals. But the target,
which was 50 feet long by 30 feet high.
was knocked down by the thirty-ninth
shot. and the fortieth shot was not nTed.
Missouri Also Does Well.
The nearest approach to the work Of
the Maine was that Of the Missouri,
which made twenty-four hits out Of a
possible forty-one. The record Of the
Maine figures out . per cent for the g.
inch guns. There was moderate sea
running at the time Of the firing.
The Maine broke other gun records also.
During night practice, firing at u target
two miles away. with searchigbts for Io-
eating the target, the snip being at an
chor, the two Finch guns Of the after
tUTret, in charge Of AIidshipmau No
