Mr Smith stated this afternoon that the trial would almost certainly be held about n p.m. He mentioned Sunday as the possible day, though he says the beach is still unfit for fast speed, It was intended to start the engine this afternoon to see that it had not been affected in transit, but it was found that the compressed air machine with which the Enterprise’s engine will be started was not quite ready.
