THE FASTEST STEAMSHIP AFLOAT HAVING COVERED 300 KNOTS ON HER TRIAL TRIP AT 27.36 KNOTS3112 MIIESHPER HOUR

sister to the Lusifania now holding the record for the fastest trip across the Atlantic, 4 days18 hours-41 minutes, at an average sgee
also established the record for a day's run of 618 miles. ,
Speed are assured to travelers on the "ittauretania" arid it is expected she will soon rival her sister ship, the "iusitania," the preseat
Tho great Qiinnrd steamship,
-Mauretania," though at first sight
Identical with tho "Lusltnnia," ex
wds that vossol slightly In size, so
that tho plain of being tho grcntost
Tel which tho world 1ms ovor soon
u transferred to tho "Mauretania."
She alto differs from lior sister ship
ia the matter of Intornal decoration.
Probably no vessel has ovor had bw
stoweJ upon this branch of Its struc
ture to much thought or such a strlv
tug after a tasteful rosult ns has bean
tie case with the "Mauretania." Tho
mult Is a series of public rooms and
prirate itaterooms devlsxl with ex
cellent taste In a style convoying i
mi of richness without the garish
nshlch so often ohnrnctorlsofl tho
decorations of expansive modorn
itrucKire. So succoMful Is the re
sult that the elToct upon the pnsson
jer Is that of bolng in some richly
decorated country soat or palace.
Tho Immenso size of the "Mnure
taola" can bent bo npproclatod by the
following dimensiens: Length, 790
It.; breadth, SS ft.; depth to boat
"Mnurctnnin."
Length, 790 ft.
Breadth, 88 ft.
Displacement, -15,000 tons.
Quadruple Scrows.
Spcod, 27 knots.
In tho matter of- lighting nnd von
tllutlon, probably no vosaol has ever
oqunled the ,Maurotina,,, thore be
ing no fewer than 1200 windows nnd
sidelights, including S00 patent ven
tilating lights. Artificial Illumina
tion will be furnished by 5000 elec
tric lights, the transmission of tho
current to which will necessitate tho
use of a much cable ng would link
the head olllco of the Cunnrd lino nt
Liverpool with the wott ond London
office of the company.
Whilst externally nnd internally
the "Lusltnnin" and tho "Mnurota-

tho main funturos of thlr design anli
