San Francisco. oclrttfTRIAL TRIPOF THE URIAHShe Went Across to Tiburon inTwenty-two Minutes.Details Regarding the Latest Addition to the Ferry-Boat Fleet—She Is Surpassed in Size by the Solano Only.The trial. trip of the San Francisco and North Pacific Railway Company’s new ferry steamer Ukiah took place uu the bay yesterday aud was a success in every resu-ct. About two hundred guests were ou hand, including representatives ot the Southern Pacific Company, Pacific Coast Steamship Company, Oceanic Steamship Company,local representatives of the various Eastern railroads and members of the press. The arrangements for the trip were made under the direction of President J. F. Burgin, Passenger Agent Peter J. McGlynn and General Manager II. C. Whiting of the railroad.A large number of people assembled on the dock to witness the steamer leave ou her initial trip, which she did at 1:2o p. m. She was finely decorated with flags and forward,or nt the end furthest from the apron; floated the burgee and the company’s flag, each surmounted by along pennant. At staffs on the promenade deck were displayed the Donahue house flag and the initial burgee, while at the jackstaft aft were bunched two fine American ensigns, which were “broke” and floated to the breeze as the steamer left the dock amid the cheers of‘ the assembled multitude.A VETERAN AT THE HELM.A string baud was ou board and enlivened the proceedings. Captain I). Van Pelt, the veteran, was in command on the trip aud George Scott, the company’s superintending engineer of steamers, had charge of tire machinery,with Walter Scott assistant. Janies Spiers and D. B. Hinckley of the Fuiton iron Works, with Foreman Harry Christie,also watched the performance of the machinery and were more than satisfied.On the trip across the tide was ebb and a fre-di northwest breeze and choppy sea were encountered in the channel. Alter leaving her berth the vessel made directly for the slip at Tiburon, and, from the time Captain Van Pelt jingled the bell to go ahead until lie rang to slow down on entering the slip on the other sido was just 22 minutes, a grand performance.The steamer’s engines and boilers were built ty the Fulton Iron Works. The motive power is a beam engine of 2300 horsepower, having cylinder 03 inches iu diameter. with 12-foot stroke. The paddle-wheelsare 27 feet in diameter, having 24 buckets with a 12-foot face. There are two steel boilers, each 25 feet long, with 11-loot shell the steel being 1.632 inches thick, with aworking pressure of Go pounds to the square inch.NOT A HITCH OBSERVED.On the trial trip these engines were worked up . to 23 revolutions a minute and not a hitch, not the slightest friction was observed, not even a hot journal, and all interested were greatly pleased thereat. After working a little it is expected that 24 revolutions a minute will be made by the engines with ease aud a corresponding . higher rate of speed attained.After crossing the bay the Ukiah laid at the slip at Tiburon for about twenty minutes and then steamed out, passed through Raccoon Straits, up by the Oakland mole and then crossed the bay again to her berth on this side and landed her deiighted passengers before 4 o’clock. During the passage up the bay a splendid dinner was served inone of the large cabins.All the delicacies of the season were on the table and there was no stint of champagne aud other liquors. Toasts were given and responded ’ to, songs were sung and the utmost jollity prevailed. Daniel Boehn of the Tiburon, and fur the last forty years on the Sacra men to River boats, acted hs caterer. Speeches were made by President Burgin, Martin Bulger, W. Li. Menton, W. Hart, Human Wad ham, Jabez L. Swan, Master Mechanic Reynolds and others.THE LARGEST SAVE ONE.T he Ukiah was launched at Tiburon on the night of May 17th, of the present year, and as she siiti into the water was christened by Miss Olive Maguire, cousin of the late J. Mervyn Donahue. Next to the Solano, she is the largest ferry-boat afloat in the waters of the bay. She is built after the latest pattern of the New-York ferry-boats, and has accommodations for passengers On the main deck. On this deck are two tracks for railroad cars, with a capacity for sixteencars.Ou either side of the deck, lore aiid aft of the paddle-wheels, are the cabins, those on one side being for ladies, those on the other for gentlemen. The floor of the gents' cabin is covered with oilcloths, that of the Indies’ with velvet carpets. The seats in allare composed of half-round strips of cedarand black walnut, with arms of black walnut separating the seats. The seats are self-supporting and, like their composition, are the device of Robert Bragg, who did all the joiner-work on the vessel. In addition to these around the sides of the cabins, railroad seats are set in the center. The gents' cabin is furnished in grained paneling, and the ladies' is painted iu parti colors, with gilt moldings and headings..AMPLE ACCOMMODATIONS.Between the gentlemen’s cabins are a toilet-room and a restaurant. On the main deck, next to the engines, is the bar, and between the ladies' cabins, around the pad-dle-lrox, is a moveable partition, by means of which ladies can move from one cabin to the other without encountering those ou the main deck. When cars are run on the boat this partition folds up snugly against the paddle-box. At the end of each cabin is also a vestibule or entrance room, provided with doors, so that no drafts can penetrate tho cabins when people enter. All the cabins are provided with steam heaters aud are well lighted.From the main deck a broad stairway with branches to port and starboard leads to the promenade deck, where are located the pilot-houses and four staterooms for the officers of the si earner. The quarters of the crew are located iu the hold, and are spacious and well lighted. The Ukiah carries a crew of sixteen men. From the b»rge promenade deck ladders lead to smaller decks, which are over the cabins. They will prove very agreeable to excursionists during the picnic seasou. .READY FOR SERVICE.The new boat will commence to run to 1 iburon about Tuesday next, taking the place of the steamer Tiburon, which will be laid up for painting and a general overhauling. This operation will take about sixty days, and it is expected bv that time the Lombard-6treet slip and the railroad company's slip at Tiburon will be completed, and then this, the finest ferry-boat on the bay, will commence her regular trips, carrying passengers and freight-cars.Among those who were present on the trial trip were: John F.
