An advertisement in this issue of the Review from one of the largest steamship lines on the lakes, asking manufacturers and whole- sale dealers for catalogues, prices and discounts, will no doubt attract considerable attention. Itis probably the first advertisement of the kind ever published, but it would seem that the method which it suggests will be followed by other concerns. This advertisement shows, contrary to what some people might expect, that the policy of some of the largest corporations is to give consideration at all times to all business propositions submitted to them, no matter how humble the source, but provided, of course, that such propesiione are in business form. Not long ago a large company operating ipke chan was about to purchase considerable machinery. They took the Review and mailed specifications to all concerns advertising machinery of the kind which they were about to purchase. A machinery concern located in the same city as the purchasers, only afew blocks apart, were not asked for a bid. They did not advertise and they were overlooked. In addition to three new advertisements in this issue, three in- quiries were received within a half hour, Wednesday, for space in the Review, one by telephone for a half page for a year, one by telegraph for a price on a third, half or full' page for six months, and another for a half page one issue. The Review has at present four pages more advertising than any other marine paper, and at the present rate will soon have to increase its size. New advertising always indicates gen- eral business improvement. A Fast Steam ene The fast steel steam yacbt Marietta, which will soon be launohed 'by the Erie Basin Dry Dock Co. of Brooklyn, N. Y., for Harrison B. Moore, will be one of the finest vessels of her kind afloat and is ex- pected to attain a speed, with forced draft on the enclosed fire-room system, of 23 milesan hour. The Review is indebted to the Roberts Safety Water Tube Boiler Co. for a description of this vessel. Her length over all will be 172.5 feet; beam, moulded, 18 feet; depth, amidships, 10 feet; displacement, 125 tons at a draught of 5 feet 7.5 inches. There will be one short deck house forward, two hollow masts for steadying sails and one smoke pipe. The engine is of the four cylinder, triple expansion type and is building by Mr. J. W. Sullivan, New York. The cylinders wlli be 14, 21.5 and (2) 25 inches in diameter, and the stroke 18 inches. The designed I. H. P. is 1,000 at 300 revolutions per minute, and a working pressure in the boilers of 250 pounds per square Sah, The engine will be forward of the boilers, the shaft running between the boilers. There will be two Roberts water tube boilers, placed side by side. 'Each boiler will be approximately 6 feet 3 inches wide, 9 feet 9 inches long and 6 feet 8 inches high, exclusive of the depth of the ash pan. The latter will probably be built to fit the frames of the vessel. The total grate sur- face will be 80, and the heating surface about 2,700 square feet. 'The estimated weight of the two boilers will be about 26,000 pounds. © Mr. Moore had a pair of Roberts boilers in Miaiettas I, which: made © 19 miles an hour, and a pair of boilers of the same type in his Mareitta II, for which a speed of 21 miles an hour was claimed.
