10 play a game OF base ball, and GER
tainly hand ball could be played with

of the builders of the boat to so ar
range a portion of the deck that golf

forty-five persons, will be secured to

much room in the main saloon as in

fittings. a representative of the White
Star line, to which she will belong, told
me the other day that in point of ele-
gance they would far exceed anything
now afloat. The arrangements for the
comfort of the passengers in rough
weather will be such that it will re-
quire a very heavy sea indeed to make
one uncomfortable. 1t has been a ON
mon source of complaint among trans
atlantic passengers that the furniture
of a steamship was built on the land
principle-that is, as if the traveller
was never going to receive any shocks
or be likely to be thrown about. 1t is
the intention to remedy this difficulty
in fitting up the Oceanic, so that there
will be no hard corners for a passenger
to be thrown against, something thai
would be very greatly appreciated.

of the most popular passenger steam
ships that ply between New YORK II
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 heet
that are known as ocean greyhounds.
Nevertheless. her engine capacity Will
be sufficient, it is believed, to take her
across the Atlantic in Jour days. Inc
nresent time record is a little more
than five days and four hours. me
total combined horse power or tne
Oceanic will be $4,000. That OF the
I,ucania and Campania is $4,000. II
will have three sets of triple expansion
engines. the capacity of each OF wnicn
will be Is, 900 horse power. she VIII
also have three screws, n more IMAM
the usual equipment. Therefore, al
though a much higher sea speed than
that not contemplated is quite practl-
cable from an engineering point or
view. it has beer determined as far
az 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
travelling to places beyond the
mort of arrival to proceed to-
and in the majority OF cases
reach. their destination with
comfort during the day. At the same
time the vessel is to be so construct
ed that the motion of even the winter
seas will not be felt with anything hk
he severity that ordinarily affiict'
those who travel in winter by steam
shin. It is expected that the service
of the Oceanic will be continuous, re
gardless of seasons.
To read of the dimensions OF tn
Oceanic hardly gives an adequate loe'
of her tremendous size. Her mooe
shows that she will be beautifully pro
portioned, and so, like a very larg
man of fine physique, she will not loo

His business being known before
