With the exception Of Stouchs home run. nothing in excess of . sin gle was knocked. The crowd was high ly entertained and rooted lustily for the home boys despite the excessively warm weather. Score:

THE CELTIC'S FIRST TRIP.
Voyage From Queenstown to New
York Made in Eight Days.
Built for Carrying. Not for Speed,
the Huge White Star Steamship Is
n Marvel of Steadiness-LuNuriO
Quarters for steerage Passengers.

NEW YORK. Aug. 4-The massive
White Star liner Celtic finished her
maiden voyage from Liverpool and
Queenstown today, covering the course
of 2.S90 knots from the latter port in
eight days and forty-six minutes, at an
average speed of IA % knots. Her engines
worked smoothly and she was favored
with pleasant weather all the way.
The steamers immense tonnage, 20,Sse
gross. and her great depth and beam,
combined with her huge keels, make her
the steadiest ship afioat. Her passengers
were hardly aware of her motion during
most of the voyage. The Celtic brought
2i5 first class, 100 second cabin. and 262
steerage passengers, and small cargo
She can carry 2,S59 passengers, including
1850 in the steerage.
Foxhall Keene. who has been abroad
six months and has played in eight polo
matches, was a passenger on the Celtic.
He said he expected to organize a team
to take part in the championship matches
in Boston.
The great ship. being lightly laden,
lowered high above the lines pier shed
and attracted much. attention as she
warped into her North River pier this
morning. She looked much like an en-
larged Cymric. Although not the longest
vessel aioat, she is the largest She Is
100 feet long, 70 feet beam, and AZ feet
deep.
The Oceanic is five feet longer than the
new giantess, but she measures less by
more than 1900 tons, and has seven feet
less beam. About forty thousand men
could stand on one of her nine decks. AT
her load draft the Celtics displacement
will be IS, ,22o tons. She has more than
twice the cargo carrying capacity of the
Oceanic.
When her engines timber up it is
thought she will readily make the trip
from Queenstown in seven days. She was
not built for speed, however. but for
carrying.
The Celtic's steerage is fitted in style
| that would have been thought almost
| luxurious twenty years ago. Married cou-
pies and single women have separate
cabins aft, and each of the open berths
forward has a spring mattress. The
steerage dining room is wide. high, bright,
and We'll ventilated. The steerage passen-
gers also have d smoking room and sit
ting room.
BESIDES the ordinary staterooms in the
first cabin there are suites consisting of
bed, sitting, and bath rooms, for families.
The central rooms on the bridge deck
have square windows, in place of the IA
miliar bull's-eye. In the first and second
class quarters the floors of corridors, sa-
looms, and smoking rooms are laid with
rubber Intended to prevent passengers
slipping and to deaden their footballs.
