Governor Mann of Virginia, Admiral
Dewey, and large delegation Of
navy and government officials. Fully
10000 people crowded into the ship
The ceremonies were brief. While
the visitors were escorted to the
launching stand, large gang OF
workmen busted themselves about the
great mass of steel stationary on the
ways, and bands from other battle
ships enlivened the wait with brisk
airs. Soon red flag was run up on
the forepeak as signal that the giant
ship was ready for the launching
Miss Lyon took her stand at the head
Of the launching stage, bottle Of
champagne In her hand, while the
workmen knocked out the remaining
supports. At last a shrill whistle pro.
claimed everything in readiness, and
a cheer went up as the great ship
quivered and slipped slowly down the
ways, gaining momentum as she trav.
eled. The river craft greeted her with
q screaming salute. which completely
drowned Miss Lyons shrill cry, Go
brave ship. christen thee Texas" as
she broke the bottle of champagne on
the ships steel prov.

about half completed. Her contract
