| CINCINNATI-From the Gazette Of
Monday we make the following ex-
tracts:
This steamer (the New United
States), now lying at the foot Of Race
| Street, and which will make her first
trip to Louisville on Wednesday, is
/ one Of the best and finest passenger
pac kets ever built in Cincinnati or in
/ the West She will make a trial trip
| to-day. Her machinery was satisfac
| torily tested Saturday. She evidently
j possesses all the requisites Of popu-
lar packet boat-beauty, speed, COM
fort, safety.
The United States, according to
/ the Government Inspector measure
ment, is 300 feet long from nosing to
nosing; beam forty feet eight inches
hold seven feet two inches deep
amidships. Her registered length Is
| 296 l. 8 feet, and her registered tun-
mage, custom house measurement,
/ 1904. Her actual carrying capacity,
| however, is not over 700 luns, as she
is built very sharp. The hull is built
| of well seasoned timber, heavy and
| durable. In the hold are three fore
and aft bulkheads, for support. Be-
| ing intended for a packet steamer
there is little provision made for
| freight in her hold. The whole cargo
will be generally carried on deck,
/ which is sufficiently rOOmy.
