THE PENNSYLVANIA"
New York, Philadelphia and Norfolk
Railroads New Steamer.

BY the addition of the "Pennsylva-
mia" to its fleet of steamers between
Cape Charles and Norfolk the New
York, Philadelphia and Norfolk Rail-
road company has greatly improved its
service and insured beyond peradven-
ture the integrity of its schedule be-
tween New York, Philadelphia and the
South.
This new boat has proven itself to
be the fastest passenger steamer on
the Chesapeake Bay, and has cut
eight minutes from the schedule be-
tween Norfolk and OLD Point Com
fort, a distance of twelve miles. 1t
has shown that 1t can maintain easily
a speed of twenty-five miles an hour,
with a full passenger list and a COM
plete cargo.
The pennsylvania" was built at
Roach's Shipyard, Chester. 1t is 25S
feet in length, 40 feet across the beam,
and has the exceedingly light draft of
9la feet when fully loaded. IL is pro-
PEELED by two quadruple expansion en-
gines with an aggregate of S,400 horse
power.
The accommodations for passengers
are commodious and comfortable. They
are finished in a white and gold effect,
except the lobby, which is finished in
mahogany. The main saloon, carpeted
with rich velvet, and furnished with
handsome upholstery, presents a very
attractive appearance. The ladies'
parlor and the large dining room are
also appreciated features of the steam
er's careful construction. A comfort
able smoking room and well stocked
and inviting buffet are provided for the
accommodation of male passengers.
The pennsylvania" has been placed
in commission and is now performing
regular service between Cape Charles
and Old Point Comfort and Norfolk.
In addition to it's complete passenger
facilities, it has also a freight capacity
equal to demands; especial provision
having been made for the transporta-
tion of pershable freight.
In adding this fast and handsome
new boat the time between New York,
Philadelphia and the South. via the
New York, Philadelphia and Norfolk
Railroads Cape Charles Route" has
been materially reduced.
