THE CLERM0NT.
First Passage by Steamboat From
New York to Albany.

First Passage by Steamboat From
New York to Albany.
In August, 180s-the exact day is a
matter of dispute-the steamboat Cler-
mont made the first passage by steam
from New York to Albany. The dis
lance, somewhat less than $50 miles,
was covered in thirty-two hours, a
record hailed as a triumph in speed,
for previously the passage between
the two cities averaged four days. e
Robert Fulton had experimental
with steam several years, but the Cler-
mont was the first boat he constructed
on a large scale. As he could not get
the engine he wanted in this country
he ordered n from England. The
Clermont was so reconstructed in the
following winter that it gave more
commodious accommodations to tray
elers, and the year 1903, which was
the first year of regular travel by
steamboat, Fulton made it a point to
start his boat precisely on scheduled
time. Curiously enough, a portion Of
the public complained Of this. It was
not until we'll along in the summer
that travellers got accustomed to It.
Previously boats had been held for
two hours at the request of passen-
gers who weren't ready. Fulton's per-
severance won public approval before
the season closed.-Anaconda Stand
