successful management is sufficient
proof of this assertion.
AS to construction and equipment
these steamers are conceded to be
models of marine architecture. They
are all built under the personal su-
pervision of one of the members of
the Glasgow house of Allans, who is
thoroughly and practically acquaint-
ed VIII all the requirements of an
going steamship. The conf
dence with which they are regarded
by the best class of English travellers
and the English are nation of
t2urisis-is shown by fact that Her
Royal Tighncss the Prince Louise
and the Marquis Of Lorne selected
the fine steamer Sarmatian to convey
the royal party from Liverpool to
Halifax.
The Allan fleet consists of the fol-
lowing frst-class ocean steamships:
Sandman, 4,lO0 tons, Capt. ]. E.
Dutton, R. N. R.. Polynesian, 400
tons, Capt. R. Brown; Sarmatian,
$500 tons, Capt. A. D. Arid Circas-
sian, 1000 tons, Capt. James Wyle;
Moravian, 1850 tons, Capt. J. Gra-
ham ; Hibernian, 5000 tons, Lieut.. F.
Archer, R. N. r.; Peruvian, 3,4O0
tons, Lieut.. w. H. Smith, R. N. R.;
Nova Scotian, $500 tons, Capt. Rich

Capt. R. s. Watts; Prussiap, 5000

2,70O tons, Capt. Grange; Canadian,
1900 tons, Capt. Mclean; Manitoba

inthian, 2,400 tons, Capt. Menzies;

Stephen.
The captains and officers are noted
for their ability as navlgators, and
strict attention to the business CT the
ship is enforced by the most rigid
discipline. Advancement, whether on
deck, in the engine room or stewards
department, is altogether the result
of long years of faithful service, and
it is but natural that men should ex-
ercise the greatest care and attention
in filling position they have ac-
quired so dearly.
These steamers, as already stated,
are patronized by the best class of
English travellers. The saloons are
fitted up in Luxurious style, the table
is excellent, and every care is taken
to render the short stay of passengers
abroad as agreeable as possible. The
price of frst-class cabin accommoda-
tions from Baltimore to Liverpool is
$75-from $25 to $45 cheaper than by
the leading steamship lines from New
York.
Intermediate passage to Liverpool,
including superior accommodations on
tie main deck passengers being sup
Piled with all necessaries and taking
meals at tables,) may be had at $40.
The advantage extended by this
company to such persons as wish to
send for friends or relatives to Join
them fere are unsurpasse, and those
of our readers who have been debat-
ing as to the ways and means of
bringing mother, brother, sister or
friend to this country should lose no
time in purchasing their orders, so
as to enable their people abroad to
embark as soon as the spring weather
becomes fairly settled.
Such orders are good for passage
by any steamer of the Allan Line for
ono year from date of issue, and
should anything take place to prevent
the passenger from making use of it
the money is returned to the purchas-
er here, less the usual commission.
1t will be easily seen that this plan
is far superior, for several reasons, to
sending money to the passenger, the
more so because the order is good on
ly for the party to whom it is issued
, and cannot be sold nor transferred.
