.AIRSHlpS AND AUTOS

For several hours before the
"Gunston Hall" struck the waves
yesterday afternoon the air was alive
with hydroplanes which passed and
repassed over the river and the plant
Of the Virginia Shipbuilding Corpo-
ration. Occasionally one Of these
wonders made a descent upon the
bosom Of TIE Potomac and passed
through the water at a terrific gait.
They would suddenly shoot from the
water and soar heavenward. The
roar Of the propcllers was in evidence
during the greater part Of the after
noon, thrilling the thousands Of per-
sons who were packed in the ship
yard enclosure, as we'll az thousands
Of others wno were viewing the
aerial messengers from windows,
mills, tops of box cars and other
points Of vantage.
At the close of the launching there
were other thrilling scenes, caused
BY thousands Of automobiles, the
bulk Of which had come from Wash
ington. bringing sight-seers. From
Jones Point to Wilkes street (six

streets autos were winding their way
slowly. while both thcl oughfares
were literally packe.: with humanity

A Washington paper makes some

THE "GUNSTON HALL

The launching of the steel ship
"Gunston Hall" from the ways of
the Virginia ShipbuildinE Corpora
ton yesterday afternoon brought
many recollections to old AleXan-
drians. While in the remote past
many ocean going vessels were
launched in Alexandria, the "Gunston
Hall, is the first steel ship ever COM
mitted to the water at our Port. 1t IS
the first of others which are in pro-
cess of construction. Three steel ships
of the same dimensions arc now well
on the way TO completion, and the
launching yesterday is hrt one of
number Of Others which ale to follow
in the near future.

structcd at Alexandria during the
first half of the last century, and
our shipbuilding industry from the
war of 1912 aimcst up to the break
inc out of the civil war conflict was
one of the city's most important as
sets.
In the square of ground now occu-
pied by the AlexandrIa County
Lighting Company q number OF oc-
can going vessels were constructed
at times. Robert Huntcr was the
proprietor of this yard where many
mechanics were employed. Up to the
breaking cut of the civil war y
number of ships, banks and briggs
were plying upon the high seas which
were built at Alexandria. Nearly sE-
