Imitation Old Masters In Our Museums

The European student OF art history
Visiting tho museums in America must
be profoundly impressed with our ignor-
ance or mendacily IL ne judges US by the
attributions bestowed upon the old pic

museum in the country that has not great
name, attached TO tame copies or poor
school pictures: and there Is not a cata-
logne OF any OF our public collections OF
old pictures that Is not unreliable and
misleading. To.te sure, we are net alone
IN this iumbling and juggling OF attrinu-
tions. Ihe directors OF European galleries
are promo to fasten great names TO the
works of pupils or iiuiistors because let

The Pioneer Steamer On
NarraganSett Bay.
1t Was Daniel Drew'S "Bal-
loon" and Not the PERRY"
An Episode in the History of the
Traders National Bank.

The steamer Delaware, which was
burned at Wilmington. DEL, last We'd
nesday was well known to the older resi-
dents OF Rhode Island under the name
OF the Perry. for the boat piled for
many years between Newport and Provi-
deuce, but she was not, as enormously
stated, the first steamer 10 make regular
trips on the Nsrragansett between those
points. The honor of being the pioneer
steam boat belongs to. the Balloon which
was owned by Daniel Drew and which
came here from New York city in May,
1870 Under the command OF Captain h.
Il. Woolsley she made daily trips between
Newport and Providence until October,
when she was laid up for the winter, re-
suming her trips again in the spring.
From 1S42 to lS45, Iolas, another boat
commanded by Captain wooisey ran be-
tween Newport aad Providence. The Ioias
was also New York boat anu ran be-
tween New York and Staten Island under
the name OF Citizen. Before coming here
she was blown up in New York barbor,
but was afterwards repaired and sold to
Captain Woolsey and Others.
She was succeeded in 1916 by the
Roger Williams which was built for
Captain Wooisey at Brooklyn, N. Y,
and was the finest steamer OF her day on
the bay. She was 200 feet long and was
luxuriously fitted for her time. She was
q fast boat and made her sirst trip from
New York to Providence in less than IL
hours she was too large and fine boat
for the Newport route at that time and at
line and sent TO New York, where she
ran on the Hudson river.
The next boat was the Perry. She was
built at Brooklyn in 1S45-6 for Rufus B.
Kingsley of Newport and arrived at New
port March 2, 1886. She was 1b2 feet
long. 25 feet wide and measured 255 tons.
She was fitted with beam engine of 125
horse power and looked considerably like
the Canonicus. When she first arrived
here she ran bewteen Newport and Fall
River, but later In the year she made trips
on alternate days to Providence and in
June, 164S commenced making two trips
daily between Providence and Newport.
On January 10, 1860, while on her trip
TO Newport sne was cut through by the
ice OF Sassafras Point, but managed to
reach the shore near India Point, where
she sank. She was raised and repaired
and in 1882 was sold TO the American
Steamboat Company, and in 1864 she was
purchased for a blockade runner. In 1867
her owners were the Coast Wheeling Com
pany and In 1875 the Perry was used as
an excursion boat from Philadelphia.
In May, 1882 her name was changed to
the Delaware and her home port to Will
mington, from which place she ran untiu
she was burned. While running in
Narragansett Bay she was commanded
successfully by Captain George W. Wool
sey, Captain Gilbert WooIsey, Captain N.
b. Allen ana Captain George III. Kelley
now in command OF the Bay Queen, and
for 10 years the late Charles J.. Stanhope
Of Newport was her purser.
