FLEET OF SMALL CRAFT. Among the vessels that assembled to’ watch the first plunge of the Mil- waukee were the Caroline, the, Water Nymph, the Monticello, the Active, the Sea Fox, the Sea King, the Unadilla, the Government launch Alcatraz and the yacht.Ollie. The Meteor of the J. Michaels Launch Company; carrying representatives of The Call staff, was one of the first on the scene. On the excursion boats were many visitors from inland States who had never seen a launching before. Fortu- nately at the Union Iron Works they had the opportunity to view warships in three stages of construction. In the yards: were the Chlifornia and the South Daketa; which had already taken their. first plunge into the wa- ters and are now nearing completion. The foretop of the California is al- ready ‘erected. To those who had never before see: warships or shipbuilding the sight was an object/lesson. On the way back the visitors passed the New York in all her formidable beauty, white paint, glittering brasswork and ominous looking guns jutting out on all sides. Then the strangers grasped. the idea that some day the helpless red hull that they had seen glide onto a mud ADVERTISEMENTS.

No more powerful vessels have ever been designed in the protected cruiser class than the Milwaukee and her contemporaries. Bulky armor has given way to speed requirements and fast-fighting qualities. The acme of naval construction was reached when it was shown that the protection of warships was as well afforded by water-tight compartments and ability to keep out of the way of an enemy if outclassed. The Government apopropriated $2.- 825.000 for the construction of the Milwaukee. She will probably be the last cruiser built at the Union Iron Works for some time, unless the cor- poration should be reorganized and again be placed in active competition with Eastern shipbuilding yards. It was common comment among the navy officers and visitors at the Union Iron Works yesterday that it would {ll-behoove the Government to allow so valuable a plant, and one that has shown so much skill in build- ing ships, to be without contracts for building sea-fighting machines. The Milwaukee will have a normal coal suppiy of about 9000 tons, with a displacement of 9700 tons. Her total coal capacity Is 11,000 "tons, which is more than that of battle- ships of the Towa or Indiana type. Tn length the Milwaukee will be 425 feet: beam, 66 feet; draft, 22 feet 6 inches. Twentv-two knots is the contract speed. When armed the cruiser’s battery will consist of fourteen 6-inch guns, eighteen 3-inch and eight l-pounder rifles in the secondary battery, with ten machine guns. . Ships of the Milwaukee class: are intended to fight or run away as oc- casion demands. Their guns. are so placed as to give opportunity of de- livering a rapid, concentrated fire. Forty officers and 6§31 men will man the Milwaukee when she goes into commission in the navy. e S8R PRETTY GIRLS ON AUTO RIDE. One of the pleasing sights on the south drive of Golden Gate Park yes- terday afternoon was an automobile party, of which Miss Janet Mitchell, who christened the, cruiser Milwau- kee, was the guest of honor. Accompanying Miss Mitchell wers the Misses Martin, Millie and Madge, and Miss Mitchell's sister Harriet. An old time friend of the ybung ladies, Colonel W. P. Harlow of New York, escorted the party and manipulated the “red devil” that made short time of the distance between the park en- trance. and the Clff House. Colonel Harlow is not afraid to make fast time with an automobile and. the young ladies had almost as exciting time on the ride as they had say at launching of the warshib. $ Friends of the colonel he outdistance any policeman on back that ever drew a line many miles in an auto in.& few utes.
