In length instead OF I'll. All that additional length
was thrown into the magnificent saloons for the
comfort OF passengers. The saloon decorations
wonder Of artistic beauty There are no unlikely
Cupids, Chinese dragons and women OF impossible
complications. In fact. there is no saudness In any
part Of the decorations. They are. OH the con-
trary, delicate and restful as the scenery OF the
Hudson is grand and inspiring There are dainty
dOmes OF softly tinted glass which surmount the
centre OF the main saloon. and the dining room
and promenade corridor and lower deck saloon
amidships are decorated in the most attractive
manner imaginable. "A Letter from Home" is the
title OF exquisite painting in corner of the
main saloon. There Is not a portion OF the boat
that the traveller will not find attractive. Be-
sides the comfort and elegance displayed In the
furnishings OF saloons and staterooms, everything
senser as the hull OF the steamer is built In solid
bulkheads. The New-York unquestionably com.
bines comfort, speed and beauty.

In the hearts OF all generous Americans who love
justice. and feel grateful to the captain officers

heroes gave UP their lives the altar Of their
country and shed their precious blood In defence
of our sacred flag?
Having seen the gunboat Hudson on her passage
