BOSTON, Oct. 22.—The second-class protected cruiser Denver was given her official trial trip\on the Cape Ann course to-day, but failed to maike the. speed called for in her contract. Commander Cowles of the trial board gave out 16.28 knots as the average speed made by the cruiser during the day’'s run over the measured course, while her contract calls for 17 knots per hour for four consecutive hours. Tidal corrections may help the cruiser out a little, but will not bring her up to the required speed. The Denver began her race against time at 10:48:22 this forenoon, when she blew | her whistle and crossed the starting line. She passed the Baltimore, marking the northern end of the course, at 12:47:36, making the elapsed time for the 33 knots 1 hour 59 minutes and 14 seconds, and giv- ing her the average speed of 16.606 knots per hour. Turning a wide circle, the cruiser head- ed back for the starting line, but just be- | fore she repassed the Baltimore the pis- ton rod on a low pressure rotary en- gine connected with the circulating | pump broke and the vessel had to be slowed down for repalirs. After twenty minutes’ delay the pump began working again. and the Denver headed back to the southward over. the course. She went by the Baltimore at | | 2:08 and ran Into a stiff southwest wind | and quite a jumpy sea. How much effect | these conditions may have had on the | speed of the vessel could not be calculat- ed, but it could not have been anything of great importance. The leg was finished at 4:12:11, making the elapsedgtime for the thirty-three knots 2:04:08%, and her aver- age speed on the southern leg 15.27 knots an hour and her average speed per hour for the whole course 16.28 knots. Members of the trial board did not care | to express an opinion as to the cause of the slowness of the cruiser, but President Seddinger of the shipbuilding company | was told that another trial may be given | the vessel in a month or so. The Denver is the only one of her class contracted for 17 knots, all the others be- ing required to make 16.5 knots. — e EPILEPTIC IS DROWNED IN A SHALLOW STREAM Son of a Horticultural Commissioner Dies in Six Inches of ‘Water.
