[edit] Summary

The ad copy reads:

This new floating palace of steel and glass will be open
for public inspection during a delightful special trip

An unusual chance to see the finest and fastest river
steamer in the world before she enters regular service. The
fifty oil paintings by famous artists illustrating the Irving
period will be on view. The decorations include reproduc-
tions from the Alhambra; the Old Cock Tavern of London;
Irving's study at "Sunnyside" and many other in-
teresting historical places.

Special Tickets of Admission Required
