Officials Will Be Present-New York
Navy Yard Proud Of Record.
Official announcement is made that
the DreadnouCht New York, which is
now on the ways at the New York
navy yard, will be launched Wednes-
day, oct 30. The New York, with her
sister ship, the Texas, which was
launched several months ago at the
yards of a private concern. will be

The minor details of the program

young woman who will christen the

Brooklyn. a daughter of Representa-
tive William NJ. Calder Invitations to
be present at the launching will be
sent to Governor Dix, Secretary of
State Edward Lazansky and other state
officials as well as all of the prominent
inhabitants of the Empire State In ci-
william, military and naval life.
Her Dimensions.
The newest Of the Dreadnoughts,
which when completed will have cost
in the neighborhood of $1O.OOO,OOO, has
been under construction since Septem-
Der, 1911. On the eleventh day of that
month the keel was laid. The length
of the new ship is 573 feet and she has
a breadth of 95 feet 23s inches. She
has Il displacement of 27,OOO tons and
a mean depth of % feet inches.
The machinery for the new vessel is
practically complete. All of it has
been built at the New York navy yard.
When the New York leaves the ways
she will have some of her machinery,
such as her boilers and condensers. 1t
will take less than year to complete
her after she is in the water.
Rivalry Between Builders.
The keen rivalry between the con-
struction department at the New York
navy yard and the private shipbuilding
concern which has charge of the build
ing of the Texas, has spurred the yard
officials to greater effort in order that
the New York may be finished ahead
of her sister ship. The work on the
ItAu5 was SluIletl uNe luOlluS DelOTe
the keel of the New York was laid,
and already the New York construc-
tors have picked up about three months
of the lead.
One of the proudest boasts of the
New York navy yard officials is that
they have made all the large castings
without losing one. Outside concerns
always count on losing one or more,
but figures show that, while the Off
cials at the yard spend more money
per casting in order that the work may
be done very carefully, the ultimate
cost is less than that of the less care
full methods employed by private con-
Germs.
