not only of the most beautiful ships ever built
but her extraordinary magnitude and the anticpations
| connected with her had caused her TO be regarded
with something of national pride and interest. The
opinion was very generally entertained that she would
outstllp all competitors and carry off the palm from
the world, and her loss, just she about start
for the prize, sends shock far beyond the limits of
the commercial class, among the great public of those
who in the habit of watching the progress of in
dustry and enterprise in every department. Besides,
she was scientific experiment. We were to learn
from her whether the speed of ships increases indie
tlnltely in proportion to their size, whether our
builders have already reached the maximum of velo-
city well bounds of safety and economy in nau-
teal construction. In Europe, too where her fame
had already gone. her coming anxiously looked
for, and her untoward fate will be regretted.
