self with much glory, She proved her
self the fastest battleship in the
world. eclipsing the record of the
British dreadnought Vanguard, here
tofore considered the feetest of the
worlds mammoth sea-fighting engines,
by one-twenty-fifth of a knot. The
Florida did 22.54 knots an hour.
The tests were held in a rough sea
ana a brisk wind, with the big tighter
using only coal, as her oil tanks have
not yet been installed. h average
OF Ave top-speed runs was 21.s74 knots.
The Florida is a magnificent speci-

only recently been completed. Ap-
proximately Sc, 900, 900 was spent on her.
Officers and crew number more thar
1000 men. The vessels
