New York, Oct. 29.-On Decem ber 1st the old Sandy Hook lightship, which for naif a century has marked the western end of the trans-Atlantic voyage, will be put out of existence and the name will never again appear Oiii tha logs of steamers crossing the ocean.' In place of the «dd ship will Ire an I entirely new one, and on its side will i be painted the words “Ambrose Chau- ; nel.” The old landfnark, or rather sea mark, will disappear, and the name that has for half a century been one of the most prominent in the annals of navigation will disappear forever. The original lightship was anchored in its place more than fifty years ago, I and the present vessel was put into j commission in 1892. When it was decided two year* ago | that the present ship would not last much longer, a new one was ordered and has nyw been completed. With the opening of the new Ambrose chan nel, ships will not approach within 3 miles of Sandy Hook, and for that I reason an ujisentimental lighthouse J board has decided to substitute Its name for the old and honored one of ! Sandy Hook. The board is prepared j for all sorts of protests from those I who wish to cling to the old name, ! but. has fully decided that navigators : must use the new one. There will ! be no change in the lights or fi'g sig- ' nals.
