Of the most popular passenger steam
ships that ply between New York and
European ports. There are no start
ling innovations from a structural
standpoint, and no effort will be made
to place her at the front OF the fleet
that are known as ocean greyhounds.
Nevertheless, her engine capacity Will
be suficient, 1t Is believed, to take her
across the Atlantic In four days. The
present time record is a little more
than five days and four hours. The
total combined horse power Of the
Oceanic will be $4,000. That Of the
Lucania and Campania Is $4,000. She
will have three sets of triple expansion
engines, the capacity Of each of which
will be $4,000 horse power. She will
also have three screws. n more than
the usual equipment. Therefore. al
though a much higher sea speed than
that not contemplated Is quite practi-
cable from an engineering point OF
view. It has been determined as far
as possible to aim at a regular Wednes-
day morning arrival, both In New York
and in Liverpool. making the Irish
Channel and Queenstown by daylight,
and enabling passengers who may be

ed that the motion OF even the winter
seal will not be felt with anything like
the severity that ordinarily sfiicts
those who travel In winter by steam
ship. 1t Is expected that the service
of the Oceanic will be continuous, re-
gardless o. seasons.
To read of the dimensions OF the
Oceanic hardly gives an adequate idea
of her tremendous size. Her model
shows that she will be beautifully pro-
portioned, and SO. like a very large
man of fine physique, she will not lool
her size unless some object be placed
beside her enabling comparisons. Fol-
instance, the Ethiopia, of the anchor

Glasgow and New York. could be al
