One of the best dancing halls in the city has been severely damaged following a mysterious explosion. late last night.

The new Cunard-White Star liner Mauretania, a ship built, according to her builders, for comfort rather than speed, docked here after her maiden trans-Atlantic voyage today. Her average speed was 20.00 knots.
"We made tests all the way over and can say she is absolutely without vibration" Captain Brown, her commander, declared.
Harbour craft saluted with shrill whistles and fire boats sent cascades of water into the air. The new liner is 722 feet long—-United Press.
