secretary o. the national training
schools bureau.
The building was accepted by Mrs.
George o. Robinson, of Detroit, Mich,
president Of the woman's Home Mission
ary Society. II was especially fitting that
Mrs. Robinson should accept the build
ing on behalf of the society, not only
because she Is the national president,
but because the new hall is named after
her.
The religious ceremonies in connection
with the. dedication were conducted by
Bishop Earl Cranston. The dedicatory

graduated the Methodist Church on the

nails, ranges, and orders are being trans
mitted by word of mouth from bridge to
coming tower and to the telephones,
which are the nerves Of this great fight
ing machine. Way down in the bowels
of the ship Is an officer, telephone re-
ceiving apparatus on his head, drinking
IN this yeritable Hood Of information
which is being poured upon him from
all directions. With the rapidity Of an
automatic machine he collates this in
formation. works out his calculations
graphically, distributes it to the six tur-
rets, and follows II with the signal tc
fire.
Under sealed orders, opened the mo-
ment that firing began, the commander

stunts with the targets. varying his speed
and his course, leaving Il to the observ-
ers on Admiral winslow's flagship. the

they could. During all this bedlam the
courses OF the four ships were changed
time and again. speeds reduced. the d.
vision maneuvering as perfectly as II on
parade. All these variants play havoc
with the gunnery officers, who must in
stantly adjust themselves to the changed
conditions II they are to make good
scores.
Some 800 men were engaged in this
gigantic game simultaneously on the
single ship. the Wyoming. 1t was the
same on the others. Even the Filipino
mess boys had their tasks down below,
passing up powder for the turrets.
As the running fight continues, there
appear on the port side of the column
of battle small targets. only a couple
of miles distant. These simulate torpedo
beats are coming up from behind to de-
stroy that line Of ships which Is de-
vastating the enemys first class fighters
At once the five inch guns Of the tor
pedo defense are brought into play.
AS ships of the firing division ran by
the targets there was cheer from the
wyoming as the holes in its target were
counted. Publication Of scores is not al
lowed. but II Is enough to say that the
wyoming made a record for herself
which will undoubtedly stand for some
time. In that glimpse Of the target. and
comparison with the other targets. the
officers and men Of the Wyoming re-
