"There goes the Western--thsre she goes at last
Now, my boys" said Junius Smith, give her
three cheers"
And three most hearty cheers were given, as the
"Great Western" gl.ded easily and gracefully out
OF the dock. Just before this, the scene on board
the tive boats had become most animated and the
feelings of rivalry had risen to a high pitch.

Along both banks Of the East River crowds Of peo-
pie assembled, who cheersd and saluted whilst
the Battery a-d Castle Garden presented so many
greedy looks, Of young and DID, that it seemed as il
the very place had been alive, it was SO thronged
with people. The Great Western having got out Of
sight, the officers and OF the British Queen be-
gan their preparations. First the bell was rang as

"Queen" ready for sea, and at last she was ready
quite as soon rs the Western was, and hauled out
Of the dock in Is minutes after that ship and went
to sea in good trim, looking cleaner, and with her
