It is a curious fact that in the First Lord's statement explanatory of the estimates it wag said that the Lord Nelson would be completed before the end of the asb francial year, no mention being mada of the Agamemnon. The Lord Nelson will probably be commissioned at the cod of November, or in December, when she will replace the Magnificent as Jagship of the Noro Battle Squadron.

The armoured cruiser Defence has been! even Innger under construction than the Lord Nelson, although she is about 2000 tons smaller. She was laid down at
