n the EnglishChannel, in August, the average speed was 22.2 knots. As thebottom of the St. Paul was foul at the time of the trial, shedid not equal the speed of the St. Louis. The trial run wasmade between Cape Ann, Mass., and Cape Porpoise, Me., adistance of 41.96 nautical miles, at an average speed of 204knots. The engines worked as smoothly and as easily asthough they had been running for months. The run wasover the course, a turn and a return over the same. On theeastward run the average number of revolutions of the screwswas 89.5, and about 90 on the westward. Immediately after the trial the vessel was taken to NewYork and placed in service on the line, sailing on her maidenvoyage for Southampton on October 9. There was nothingnoteworthy about the trip, the time from Sandy Hook Light-ship to the Needles being 7 days, 12 hours, and 20 minutes,with daily runs of 394 382, 409, 412, 439, 324, 399, and 319miles. Like the St. Louis, she is proving a splendid sea boat. AMERICAN ENGINEER
