The New York navy yard advanced the condition of the battleship New York from 2.5 to 4 3, probably in tho matter of assombiago of material, and at the same time car-Vied car-Vied the battleship Florida forward a half per cent. This comparatively slow record Is explained by the fact that very little work remains to bo done on tho ship, which now stands at 9S.C per ceut.
