DEFER CEREMONY
UNTIL MONDAY
Convict Ship Success Will Be
Brought to Foot of
Eighteenth Street.

Owing to unforeseen difficulties, the
ancient British convict ship, Success.
which was to have admitted visitors
1T the city wharf to-day will defer
that ceremony until Monday. The
water line at the wharf has not been
high enough TO allow a gangway to tho
vessel to be rugged up. The river
was four feet lower than 1t is usually,
ON account OF west winds, and tho
vessel would have been too far below
the level of tho wharf to be con-
nccted by any gangway in the pos
session or the vessel. However. Cap
tain Smith, owner of the ancient ship
of tragedy, hopes to have his vessel

that the Success could not be visited

The Success was conveyed to Rich
