o. BOARD.
Mounting the gauCvay that connected the latest
specimen Of Yankee naval architecture with tara
Uf1fI1, the visitor, stepping board, was re
ceired by the genial commander, Capt. II Il.
Howard who after welcoming his guests turned
them over 10 the care Of Mr.. J. d. Spreokels and
Mr.. VIM. &. irwin, those gentlemen plotting thu
arrivals through the labyrinthian passages which
led tp the main saloon.
Around the awning rope Of the NGrIp1sT were
hung cplDrgd lanterns of parallologrlmmatic and
pdmcrCutIcIl shapes, the light from which Illu-
mined both deck and dock. On the attcr-dCck Of
the vessel, the Hawaiian Band was IN position
and, under the direction Of Herr Berger, dis
CuurS0d sweet music during the entire evening.
The guests could be found IN every part OF the
vessel, from Captain Hovard's private srabln TO
tle coal hunhcTs; examining this, questioning
about that, all seemingly very much interested in
the noble HsTlasu.
I'M EECTRIU IIgHT.
lLu point which. aside from the general accom-
mudHuuu- offered to passengers, attracted the
most attention, was the admirable manner IN
which the vessel lllumiued BY the electric
lights, and individual inspections and experiments
we've made with the apparatus IN each satorOoni,
hy which the light can be entirely turned of and
raligbted at pleasure. The main saloon Is supplied
with 3f single burners and the social hall card
Room. officers cabins, engine room etc, have also
au adequate supply for being we'll lighted. Each
burner Is Of sixteen candles power, Is made of
clrluuIEgd bamboo and will burn for several
hundred hours before necessary to be replaced.
The lights are uCaudesccnt, yet they throw out
but very little heat. burning as they do IN a
vacuum The system used Is the Edison, and the
engine I1 the construction of Messr-. Arlington
d son of Providence, Rhode Island, and known
DIS the Lawrence engine. This engine Is OF 20
horse power and supplies the necessary power for
generating electricity for two different circuits,
of % hundred and sixty and the other OF sixty
lights. On tins occasion everything connected
with the electric lighting worked like a charm aud
most satisfactory exhibition was thus enabled
Co hg given.
rHr couUrrsrrs.
Every une of the attaches Of the vessel, from
the commander 90 the deck hand, were most
anxious 90 contribute 10 the comfort and knuwl
edge of the nearly four hundred guests present,
patiently showing and rushUWlng, explaining and
ru explaining the uses of portion Of machinery,
the uamus of the different parts # the vessel, the
electrical apparatus and the accommodations IN
the cabins and stat'-rooms About O'Clock the
guests present in the main saloon were refreshed
with sparkling wine cooling ice cream and
fancy cakes. Those INST supplied made room for
others until all ON the vessel had partaken Of the
generous hospitality Of the Oceanic Steamship
Company thus uuustentatiously presented. The
music furnished by tho band was much appre-
ciatcd and added no little to the pleasure Of the
occasion.
