Death ola Famous ship-BuiIder.

George Steers. of New York, who has at
tanned worldwide celebrity for his skill in
ship-building, was thrown from his carriage
while going 10 Little Neck, Long Island, on
Friday last, and received such serious injury
that he expired in short time alter
ward.
Mr.. Steers was it is we'll known, the most
successful ship builder on this continent. -
In 1883 the celebrated yacht Am.rica,
built by him, proceeded to England, and
there won the prize awarded te the fastest
yacht OF all nations. ..... ..
Since then the yacht Julia was constructed
under his supervision. an6 in every regatta
where she entered she carried off the prize.
A number of pilot boats and other fast
sailing vessels were subsequently, built for
parties in New York aud elsewhere, with
great success. .
But the greatest triumph of Mr.. Steers
life has yet to take place. The steamship
AdriGlic, Of the Collins line, constructed BY
him aud launhed last summer, is now ma.

In the construction OF the Adriatic, Mr..
Steers expected TO obtain the scene Of his
fame, but the inscrutable ways vi Providence
forbade him witnessing the great triumph of
genious and art. However, the Adriatic.
