So said Walter w. Watrous to a re-

A NEW STEAMER.
Kennshsc 10 Take Place Of Peck on
the Bay Line Temporarily.
Fast Steamer Richard Peck VIII. Garry
Slghtseers 10 Yacht Races.

The management OF the Naffagan-
sett Bay line Is determined that those
who depend upon it for an opportunity
TO witness the races for the Americas
cup shall not be disappointed. 1t was
the original intention TO have the fast
steamer Richard Peck leave here on
the regular trips TO New York the
evenlng before the races. that is. next
Monday. Wednesday and Friday and
them go out 10 the scene OF the great
yachting contest on Tuesday, Thursday
and Saturday mornings. 1t was dis
covered. however. that this arrange
ment would be seriously interfered
with should a race be postponed for
any reason. 50 the Bay line manages
ment has decided to put the big steam
er Kennebec ON the line between this
city ana New York. thus leaving the
Peck entirely free for services at the
races. The Kennebec Is a commodious
and splendidly equipped steamer and
is one of the fleet of the kennebee
Steamship company plying, between
Boston and Bath. Me. she Will take her
place on the Bay line next Sunday
leaving New York for this city at 4
O'Clock D. m. that day. She Will run
between the two ports until after the
yacht races, when the Peck VIII re-
sumo regular trips.
So great has been the increase OF the
freight traffic between this city and
New York that the Bay line has found
IL very difficult TO handle IL and the
volume that comes in at New Haven.
1t has been decided therefore TO put
the big steamer John w. Garrett OF
Baltimore on the line between New
Haven and New York to handle freight
thus considerably relieving the steam
ers running between Providence and
New York
