and spenssr-Hints 90 Omcers Of the Navy.


BROOKLYN, Sept 81, 1874


II is understood that the United States revenue
steamers "Spencer" and 'Lsga.e"- former on
Lieutenant Hunters, and the latter on Captain
Emcsson's plan, will sail on Tuesday, to make a
trial OF speed from this city to Boston and return
ing.


The trial will be made under sail and steam
combined, and each power separately. Great in
terest is felt bv the commercial community in the
result, as this is the first opportunity which has
been afforded to test the relative merits Of the two
plans.


Both vessels are Of the same tonnage, spread an
equal surface OF canvass, have the same power,
and differ only In the model OF the hull, and mode
OF propulsion, both OF which have been left en-
tirely under the control of the projectors OF the
plans.


The Spencer" will be commanded by Captain
Frazer, and the =" Legare" by Captain, Howard !;
il has been determined 10 allow no person TO be
on board during this trial trip, except those in the
employ Of the government

shall have been rendered by the proper officers, an
opportunity will be afforded to the commercial
community, and all who feel an interest in such
maiters. Ia witness their performance.
