STEAMSHIP RATES TO BE
CUT ON SMALLER LINERS

From the New York Times.
There will be no reduction in the
second class and steerage rates from
New York to European ports. but
there will be a cut of about 20 per
cent made in the first class fares on
the older and smaller steamships like
the Kroonland and Finland of the
Ryndam of the Holland America
lines.

What is called the zone cabin
class of steamships-that is. those
which only carry second and third
class passengers. are increasing
steadily in popularity with Amer
travel abroad and do not like the idea
of having people possessing more of
the worlds goods than themselves
looking down upon them. The new
one-ca bin steamships for the Atlantic
trade have rooms with private baths,
nurseries fitted with all kinds of toys
for the children and gymnasiums for
the men with veranda cafes on deck.
One of the veteran steamship man
ayers. who has had over thirty years
experience in the trade, said that he
expected to see all the slow vessels

class passengers, carried on the fast

ped with all the latest improvements
for the safety and comfort OF It's
patrons.
Some of the new vessels which will
be added to the New York Atlantic
service before the spring of 1928 are
two new 17.O0O-ton liners for the
Holland America Line. the 20.000-ton
Dugras for the French line. two
22.0OO-ton liners for the North-Ger-
man-Lloyd and two for the Ham
burg American Line. a 22.000-ton liner
for the Italian lines, two liners Of
10000 gross tons, each carrying first
class passengers only. for the Atlantic
Transport Line. from New York to
London: the 25.O0O-ton triple screw
liner Belgenland for the Red Star
Line and others for the Cunard lines
service, from New York to the Medi-
terranean and the Boston to Liverpool
and Montreal to Liverpool services.
Some idea of what it costs to operate
a big Atlantic liner for the round
trip from Southampton to New York
and back. via Cherbourg. may be
had from a voyage of the White Star
liner Olympic last summer. The ship
was full in all three classes and her
earnings amounted to f15s.000. After
all expenses had been paid there re-
manned the sum of $4,000 to be
placed to the profit accourA which
was to make up for all the lean voy-
ages during the year. The cost Of
the oil fuel alone for the new 56,00O,-
ton liner Majestic is $4,000 day.

Long Island Turns
to Golf and Polo

GARpEN CrrY, L. l., April 15.---Easter
week and tho holiday week to follow has
brought many visitors to the Garden
City Hotel and twenty or more house
parties are being held at the various
homes Of Garden City. Hampstead
westbury and the wheatiey Hills Sec
tons.
Golf has como into its own again after
several months. during which scores Of
players were In the South and on the
Pacific coast.
The Garden City and Salisbury courses
and that Of tho Meadow Brook Hunt
Club adjoining the Salisbury have been
well filled with players this week A
number OF matches have been arranged
for next week. The Hempstead Country
Club opened its course this week and
others OF Nassau county will do like
wise during the coming week.
Owing to the great interest that has
been shown in polo among the various
clubs OF Long Island the opinion ap-
pears to prevail that another interna-
tional match will be seen on Long Island
next season, with tho pick OF either the
British players or those from the Ar
gentine, where some Of the finest players
have been developed during the last few
years. These matches will probably take
place on the International polo field at
Meadow Brook. where similar matches
with England have been held In the
past.
Plans are being made by motorists of
Long Island to leave here In June for
tour OF New England and TO play a
series Of golf matches at the Balsams

cred one OF the best courses In New
