THE WIILALEIBACK.

rier


The question of the strength and
stability of the houses on the whale
back steamer has been thoroughly dis
cussed on change since the advent of
the Everett. The Commercial News
does not pretend to treat the subject
of naval architecture in a technical
way, but believes the new type superior
to the old. 1t bases its opinion on the
following statements, which it believes
to be facts:
1st-No vessel built can go ashore
and remain there forever uninjured.
2d-The fact vessel goes ashore
does not necessarily mean an inherent
defect in her construction.
The steamer City of New York. the
ship Elizabeth, the steamer City of To.
gio, and many more steam and sailing
vessels well known at this port, have
gone ashore and been lost without rails

everyone said II told you So" But on
the second proposition, as noted above,
1t was not her build that caused the
catastrophe, but an error in navigation.
Now as to the first proposition--The
City of New York, exposed only to

months, although escaping really Sc

house on stiBts," six months after going
ashore and taking broadside all the
fearful winter storms that rage up
north, had her house intact, and in fact
the photograph of the wreck now hang

News looks more like a whaleback
steaming into port than the bones of
one cast away.
The Commercial News believes the
whaleback type the coming type; that
'the foreign tramp steamer and the lit
tie wind-jammer must GO" and It Is
a question of but few years before this
prophecy is fulfilled. The thinking

papers with unelean things make the
same excuse. But neither excuse is
good. The taste Of the theatre-golng
public becomes vitlated to some extent
by that which 1t is fed upon, but It
Is the producer who Is responsible for
the quality of the food and not the
consumer who must take that which
Is given him or go without And tc
very, very many persons the theatre
has such commanding attractions that
they are glad to go without regard to
the character of the entertainment
They prefer that the play should be
good and the acting fine, but prefer
a thousand times bad plays and bad
acting than no plays at all

beautiful stained design, and adds
greatly to the richness Of the place.
