THE NEW YORK.
The American liner New York, now
I'm the dock at Newport News, Is attract
ing almost as much attention as did the
Great Eastern some thirty-seven years
ago when she paid visit to Hampton
Roads. The electricians are crowded
daily with visitors from the hotel and
vicinity who want to take look at
the big ship. 1t is, no doubt, worth a
Sabbath-day's Journey to see, and for
this and other reasons we have postponed
our visit until tomorrow. Visitors are
not allowed on board the ship during the
week, as II interferes with the Wofkinen.
