New York. March 18-Nautical memories flood to the fore these days as British and American sea- tarers prepare to observe the tooth anniversary of the first transatlan- tic steamship crossing.
 Steamboating, as modern sailing is affectionately known to those who ride the waves, got its first real start in the spring of 1888 when two small ships, the Great Western and the Sirius, made perilous trips from England to New York
 In an era when the public con- sidered a steamship voyage from England to the United States 'as probable as a ride to the moon, . a company was formed to con- tinue the London Bristol railroad on to New York" by means of steamship connections.

 Eighty-JiDe Passengers
 Although the ventures were not a financial success, the Great Wes- tern made 63 other trips across the North Atlantic, averaging 85 passengers per 12-day run
 Significance of the voyages is that they drew attention Of the British government to the possibilities of regular route, eliminating in for nation of the Cunard steam pack et service.
 Tn 1840 Samuel Cunard, having organized the British and North American Royal Mail Steam Packet company" launched four ships in docks along the Clyde. Quickly est ablished in public favor, the com pany added eight more ships within the next ten years.

When Gen. George B. Mcclellan
was given command of the Army
Of the Potomac in 1862 he made
this residence his home and after
Andrew johnson had been sworn in
as President he was a guest here
for a while of Representative
Hooper, whose address in the city
directory for 1865 agrees with the
site, and not with the southwest
corner of this intersection, as some
times stated. The city directory
gives Hooper's house number (old
system of numbering) as 1874, the
even numbers being on the north
side Of the street.
On this site, in 1889, was built
the Shoreham Hotel by Vice Presi-
dent Levi P. Morton, who named it
in honor OF Shoreham, VT, his
birthplace. Apparently there was
some faulty construction in this
building, for on April II, 1891, the
sixth floor hallway crashed, carry
ing four other Railways down to
the cafe below Fortunately, how
ever, nobody was injured, though
the hotel was apparently closed for
some time, since it was not re-
opened until September /, 1891.

with the rudders folding back, fell
off on one wing and headed for the
ground. Wright fought the controls,
and by superb plotting got the plane
almost back to an even keel. But
without enough altitude to quite
bring it out, the fragile ship crashed
on one wing and the forward ele-
vators pinning both men beneath
the wreckage.
"Take this thing off," Selfridge
said as the first bystanders rushed
up. He never spoke again, but died
three hours later from a fracture
at the base of the skull and loss OF
blood from a severe head wound.
Orville Wright spent several weeks
in Fort Myer Hospital with a broken
thigh, several fractured ribs, and
severe cuts and bruises.
To anyone less persistant than the
Wrights, that would have been the
end of the affair. But the Army
officers were impressed with the
demonstrations so far, and granted
an extension until the following
year.
Evening star., 1938-12-18

Came another spell when hand
kerchiefs fluttered in the breeze,
and the tests were postponed. Then
came the fateful day of September
II, on which 1t. Selfridge attained
the unenviable distinction of being
the first man to die in an airplane
accident.
In an effort to obtain greater
speeds, the Wrights had installed
propellers eight inches longer than
those used before. But the inven-
tors had reckoned without the ten
dency of tight wires to vibrate.
Orville Wright, with Selfridge as
passenger, took off and climbed to
$50 feet in four minutes. Then the
vibrating of a guy wire support
ing the rudders in rear took 1t the
couple of inches into the path of
the whirling propeller. The end
of the prop was sliced off and the
important wire was cut.
Immediately Orville Wright let

Again, after Jefferson had left the

There is every reason for believing
that President Madison and the IA

Mrs. Smith at her country house
Mrs. Henry Clay and her six children
visited there in 1911 and it may rea-

also was entertained there.
About 1885 Samuel Harrison
Smith sold Sidney, most likely to
James Middleton, father of Eras-
mus j. Middleton, for the name j.
Middleton appears on an early map
of this section. In all probability
the property descended to his son,
since the later plats give the sons

part of the grounds of the Catholic
University of America, having been
purchased by that institution for
about $27 1000.
The old cottage erected by the
Smiths, about 135 years ago, still
stands in the university grounds,
though considerably added to and
remodeled.
The property at the northwest
corner of H and Fifteenth streets
was sold in 1863 to Representative
Samuel Hooper of Massachusetts by
