language. Some Of the classes performed the'r ex-

LAUNCH OF THE "ASSIE LAURIE-"-The new
steamer which has recently been built by the Messrs.
Foster, was launched on Wednesday afternoon, a
few minutes past 8 o'clock. As the blocks were
knocked out from under her, she was christened by
Miss M'Kibben the .4nnie Laurie. and moved rapid
ly down the ways into her native element, the Ha-
waiian, British and American flags being displayed
over her. She is fitted with a two-bladed propeller
six feet in diameter, which was cast by Mr.. Hughes,
who also has the contract for her engine and boiler.
These are being rapidly constructed at the foundry.
and in a few weeks will be completed. The bow OF
the steamer, which is the portion that has been con-
structed by Messrs. Fosters, is sharp and gives the
vessel a graceful appearance. She is about 80 tons
measurement, will be schooner rugged, her propeller
being intended only as an auxiliary, to be used In
9 llms and light weather. This is the second steamer
that has been built in Honolulu, the first having
been the tow-boat Peie. The machinery of the latter
was imported. After the launch, the spectators we're
invited to q repast spread in the shop Of the Messrs.
Fosters. -
