tin Colberg, of this city, who has
seen long service on the sound and

tatiOn company, which is to open a
new boat line between here and New

The trip from New York to New

expected she can do it in much less
than this as she has a speed of Is to
II miles an hour.
During the Gay the Cape Cod was
visited and admired by hundreds of
people who congra tulated e. Z. Fuchs,
the general manager, who made the

evident adaptability for excursion
uses. Local Agent F. Y. r. Knouse
assisted in showing visitors around
the boat and both these men will be
ON hand tonight when the members
of the Chamber Of Commerce make
a visit to the Cape Cod at her dock
at Morgan's wharf.
The steamer is a propeller, 40
feet overall, 81 feet beam, draft feet
forWord, 10 feet aft, and has u triple
expansion engine Of 1000 horsepower
with four boilers. She has eighteen
staterooms and good cabin and deck
room.
| Her landing place in New York will
be pier AS, North River, at the foot
of Christopher street, which is near
! the heart of the drygood district and
also the wholesale produce district a
+ location which will be of much value
I in promoting express freight to Nor
witch in these lines. Her sailing time
/ at New York will be p. m. on Mon
days, Wednesdays and Fridays, and G
p. m. from Norwich on Tuesdays
| Thursdays and Sundays At New
! London she will have landing place
at the Palmer dock at the foot OF
Federal street. The arriving time al
each end of the line will be a. m
At the New York end this will give
fine daylight sail through New
York harbor for passengers.
