TAKING THE BIG STEAMER
"QUEEN ANNE" AT SALEM

Salem officials received the Bridge
ton party at Salem. Police officers
were engaged in caring for the visi-
tors. Directions were given which
sent each autoist to the parking place
near the steamer wharf, and the West
Jersey and Seashore railroad company
had provided watchmen for the ma
chimes, so that there was nothing for
the Bridgetonians to do but alight
from the machines and go upon the
gayly decorated steamer Salem folk
were already aboard, and Superin-
tendent Buckalew and E. W. Coffin, of
the railroad company were present as
hosts of the occasion.
The Bridgeton and Salem people
comprised few more than 400 peo-
pie, and upon the steamer having a
capacity of 400 passengers, there was
ample and comfortable accommoda-
tions. In the run from Salem to Will
mington President Bacon of the
League and Mayor Smashy, of Salem,
was busily engaged in introducing the
members of the party, and the guests
of each city were presented to the
railroad officials Socially the time
was most enjoyably spent, the utmost
good feeling predominating, and ev-
eryone was inspired with the occa-
sion. The run to Wilmington was
without incident, and at 1910 o'clock
the big steamer was warping into the
wharf along the Brandywine river at
the famous plant of the Harlan &c Hol-
lingsworth Company, where each year
there are an average of ffty-four
launchings of new vessels.

| Launching a Very
Complete Success
Miss Helen Robbins Whitaker the
Fair Sponsor for the New Boat
"Bridgeton'' Launched
Yesterday

cHrlSlen tnee BrldgetOn' pro-
claimed Miss Helen Whitaker, in
full round, musical voice, as she
crashed prettily webbed bottle of
champagne against the prov of the
new ferry boat, building at Whining
ton, Del, for the West Jersey and
Seashore railroad company. The stur-
dy, well delivered blow smashed the
bottle In thousands of pieces, the
champagne pouring forth in a golden
spray, dashing over the fair sponsor
and those standing about her. Scarce
had the sponsor christened the new
craft in honor of this city, when the
great steel hull slipped gracefully and
hurriedly from the ways at the ship
building yard of Harlan G Hollings-
worth, and took it's initial plunge in
the waters of the famous BrandyWine
river.
1t was a most successful launching
About the stand upon which stood the
beautiful sponsor was the launching
party, and out upon the big steamer
Queen Anne" near the ship yard,
were ur hundred or more Bridgeton-
lans and Salem folks, all cheering,
applauding and waving pennants. The
big hull, of what will be within two
months the latest development of
modern ferryboats, came to a stop in
the river, swung lazily about, perfectly
balanced, and caught easily by the
tide, carried into the Queen Anne"
with just sufficient force to tear down
a bit of the steamer railing, causing a
little excitement, but nothing like
panic. The unleashed hull was quick
ly made fast TO a tug and carried to
its moorings. The christening oc-
Cured precisely at 11.4S o'clock.
Fifteen minutes later, the compan-
ion boat, Salem" was similarly chris
tened, the sponsor being Miss Eliza
beth Sinnickson, of Salem.
From early yesterday morning until
after five. o'clock in the afternoon,
there were many Bridgeton people in
terested in this important event, the
giving of the city's name to craft
that shortly will ply between Philadel-
phia and Camden, each day carrying
thousands of people to and fro over
the river, the excellent name blazing
forth from its side, gazed upon by
people from all over the world as the
crafts of all nations are gathered in
the great Philadelphia port
From shortly after Z o'clock yester-
day morning until an hour later, Pres
ident Walter H. Bacon and the officers
associated with him in the Bridgeton
Commercial League, were busily en-
gagged in providing transportation for
the many ladies and gentlemen to
Salem. Laurel and Commerce streets
were crowded with the splendid auto
mobiles of the citizens here, and the
launching party was made comfort
able in the modern, swift moving vehi-
cles. Bridgeton pennants and Com
mercial League badges were in pos
session of everyone. The transporta-
ton problem was satisfactorily solved
and a few moments after s o'clock
