Y
NEW LINE STE A M Frs
Are well known by the travelling public. The
Steamers are all new, constructed with great re-
gard to speed, comfort and safety, and are com
manded by experienced, courteous, and attentive
officers. Their superior speed enables them to
make sure connections with all trains, thereby
causing delay to travellers at either end of the
route.
The Fare has been reduced by the general So
icitatiOn of the travelling public, to whom we
feel grateful for their very liberal patronage,
which, we trust, by just course, to continue to
merit.
