ONE MORE WARSHIP
Successful Launching of the USS Raleigh (Cruiser No. 8) at Norfolk.
Despite lowering skies and prospects of ruin at least 25,000 people watched the new steel armored cruiser Raleigh glide gracefully into the water at the
navy yard at Norfolk, Va. Mrs. Haywood, daughter of Gov. Holt, of North Carolina, christened the vessel. The launching was a great success. Among those present were Secretary Tracy, Gov. Holt and staff, J. S. Carr, of North Carolina, and many other distinguished visitors.
