BALTIMORE, Nd, April 16.-The launch Of the
steel side-wheel steamer Lancaster for the
Weems' line at the ship yards of the Maryland
Steel Company at Sparrow's Point attracted an
unusual amount of interest today, owing to the
fact that 1t was the first large vessel which had
gone off the ways at this great plant, which 10
destined to be one of the most important steel
ship yards in the country.
The occasion was also notable because of the
fact that the steamer as whole had been put
together just where she stood, out
OF the ports Of Maryland at the
works, and not brought together from
various other establishments, az has hereto
fore been the custom. A large number of rep
resentative citizens and out-of-town steamship
men were present at:the launching, which took
place at 1912 o'clock. The vessel slid into tho
