Mr. Wooster coming over the green from

An interesting relic of royalty is tho

To BE COMPLETED AUGUST l

The Harlan 4 liolling>worth Go. has
entered into Il new contract with the
Virginia and North Carolina Chemical
Co.. for the construction of Il steamer for
the latter company.
The original contract was for Il chrmi-
cal steamer to be built for coast wise. SER
vice. shortly after the signing OF the
contract, however the chemical COM
mny decided that it would want u larger
steamer and one constructed for t,ans-
oceanic traffic. In other words, they
decided tn have built Il tramp steamer,
and last week designer Sinclair Stewart,
Of New York. and Andrew q. Wilson, of
the Harlan 4 Hollingsw"rtIl Co.. went
to Richmond and made all the arrange
nlrnts for the change in the contract and
in the plans and specifications.
The steamer, when completed. it il
said, will b. the first American tramp
>teanle, atlnat. The new contract inr her
calls f"r her completion on or before
August l>t Of the current year. The
shipping firm of Miller, Bull d KnowI-
ton, Of New York. have ut present under
cnlstlu, tinn ut Bath, Maine. II tramp
steamer of til" style to be built by the
Harlan 4 IIn|lingsworh Company, but
she will not be completed for Il year.
THE tramp which the Harlan 4

the Virginia X North Carolina Chemical
Company will tH about 277jj feet in
length, II feet beam. - feet depth OF

mrnt on - feet drnught. The important

lies IN the arrangrncn, of her deck
houses'and state ronms and in her weight
which will be much greater.
These differences are necessary in
order that she may be equipped iDr
tlanS-'ICMnic travel
The work ON the steamer will begin
at on.r under the supervision Of de-
Signcr Str Aau.
All the tramp steamers, which get
their names, because they are for freight
service only, and because they cruise
from port to port and from ocean ~
ocean, il is said. a,c "i foreign con-
struction.
Therefore the Building m this pn,-
posed tramp steamer by the Harlan
X Ilhn'lRsWoTlil Company, VIII u n
said, b. another mark Of the improve
nnent in American ship building and
another notch in the l"'st in favor Of
American ship builders. 1t will also
b. an especial mark Of credit to the
Harlan 4 IIollingsw"rh Company in
view OF the fact that it will be the first
steamer Of American construction to be
launched and t., bear the American fiag.
The cost nf the steamer according ~
