    This would appear to be the dedication of the "World Record" plaque on USS Lexington (CV-2) commemorating the ship's speed record described below in the Associated Press report in the Tuesday, June 12, 1928 edition of the Chicago Daily Tribune: NAVY AIRCRAFT CARRIER SETS WORLD RECORD
    Washington, D.C., June 11. - (AP) - By steaming over the waters of the Pacific Ocean at an average speed of 29.2 knots an hour for 24 hours, the giant aircraft carrier Lexington established a world record day's run of 700 nautical miles. When the commander of the 33,000 ton vessel advised the Navy Department of the achievement today, the Lexington was traveling 30.4 knots an hour and indications were that she may surpass the record the first 24 hours on her 2,228 nautical mile trip from San Pedro, Cal., to Honolulu, where she is due to arrive tomorrow at 1 p.m. Captain A.W. Marshall, skipper of the powerful craft, reported that the vessel weighed anchor at San Pedro at noon Saturday.

    Mass Held For Dead of Army and Navy Largely Attended
    New York, May 24.-There was a large attendance at the military field mass in the Brooklyn navy yard today.
    As early as 9 o'clock the people began to gather at the navy yard gates although the mass was not to begin until 10:30. Every building facing the parade ground where the mass was celebrated was adorned with American flags and a profusion of the fags hung over the balconies of the marine barracks, before the center of which the elaborate altar wast erected.
    Before the mass there was music, both religious and secular, ranging from "Onward Christian Soldiers" to "Auld Lang Syne," "Annie Lauri," and "Marching Through Georgia."
