The giant Qubarder named, the most extraordinary commercial steamship afloat , is 790 feet long, of 45,000 tons displacement, consumes a tons of coal a day, and was built at Newcastle in 1906 at a of nearly $7,000,000.

At the present moment the Maurctania is doing an unprece- dated “stunt,” which barring accidents will have been successfully achieved by the time The Evening World printing this notice is on therstreet. She is endeavoring to make the regular round trip, carry- B passengers and mails, from Liverpool to New York and back, in we days. “4 When the Mauretania left Liverpool at 2.30 P. M. on Saturday, | 10, she was two hours behind the White Star liner Baltic, which sailed from the same port, bound for the same destination. Before e Baltic arrived at Queenstown the Mauretania had overhauled her. Baltic got away from the Irish port earlier on Sunday morning, again the Mauretania overtook and passed her at sea. The big ler arrived in New York last Friday morning, sailed away again P. M. on Saturday with her usual complement of passengers and 45,000 bags of Christmas mail matter, and on Sunday morning @ing east sho met and passed for the third time the Baltic off Nan- tueket, still on her way to this port. } And yet the Baltic is by no means an obsolete type of transat- steamship—she is 726 feet long, of 40,740 tons displacement was built in 1904. ‘According to plans now under materialization, the new White Star liners Olympic and Titanic, 850 feet long, will have the Maure- temia beaten in some dimensions, at least. Then there is the Ham- targ-Americar line coming on with a 50,000-toner; to which challenge t8G/Cunard Company-responds with an order for a vessel of at least tonnage and greater speed—a colossus having a length of 885 feet, a capacity of 3,790 passengers (as an emergency transport of the Naval Rekerve she will be capable of carrying 8,000 troops at once), and to .
