words Lucille Gage, 11-year-old daugh-
ter of II !. Gage, governor of Caifor-
mia, yesterday christened the trans
Pacific cable, and breaking a bottle OF
champagne over the shore end, inaug-
urated a new era in the commercial de-
velopment of the Pacific coast. The
landing and splicing of the shore end,
which is to connect the mainland with
Honolulu, was accomplished without
hitch and was witnessed by nearly
$4,000 people.
The steamer News Boy, carrying six
miles OF cable, steamed close in-shore
yesterday morning and by life saving
baot's crew sent rope to which the
cable was attached ashore. Word was
sent to President Clarence H. Mackay
and the cable and Postal Telegraph Of
ficials that all was in readiness. The
work of hauling in the cable was done
so expeditiously that the officials ar
rived on the beach only two minutes
before the cable, which touched the
beach and was christened at 9.55 a. m.
While the cable was being spliced to
the land end Mayor Schmitz delivered
short speech, congratulating Mr.
Mackey on the successful beginning OF
the work. He also spoke of the inn
portance of the undertaking and the
benefit to the world at large that would
result from its completion.
Refreshment tents were erected on
the beach, and while the cable was be
ing spliced Mr.. Mackay served cham
| payne and other refreshments to a
large number of specially invited
guests Mr.. MaclSay also sent the fol
lowing telegram to President Roose
welt: Il have the honor to inform yot
that the end Of the Honolulu cable
was successfully brought TO shore this
morning"
The first message over the CABLE
was sent from shore to Chief Enginee
Benest on the Silvertown, congratu
lating him on the successful landing
Several tests we're made as the cabl
was being paid out by the News Boy
and II was found to be in perfect con
dition.
A portion Of the cable was cut n
