By the Associated Press, PHILADELPHIA, April 5. —The new scout cruiser Trenton, one of five sister ships of tremendous speed and size built or now building for the United States Navy at Cramp's ship- yard here, successfully completed her official trial tesis off thq Delaware Capes today. Throughout the trial run the Tren- ton maintained an average speed of 34.1 knots an hour and developed 92,400 hersepower, Cramp officials said The contract for the cruiser called for 90,000 horsepower. Shipyard en- gineers said it might have been pos- sible to have developed as much as 97,000 horsepower during the trials. The tests consisted of a full speed ahead four-hour trial run at sea, a run over a measured course resem- Dbling a figure eight. a test extending from full speed ahead to full speed | astern. and an anchor test. All fests were made in the presence of the naval trial board headed by Admiral G. H. Burrage. She will probably be delivered to the Navy April 2, Cramp's offictal said.
