Old Go as She Please.

Old 60 as she please, we mean the
mail steamer Metropolis, did won
derful thing in getting to this port by
ten o'clock last Friday night. She
was due here that morning, and any
ordinary steamboat would have had
no particular difficulty in making the
journey from Bay City so as to get
to this port many hours before the
Metropolis did. The Metropolis did
well to get to this port at all.
The worst part of the affair was that
she brought no mail. The reason
given was that she had no mail agent
on board. A poor beginning for a
first trip. The second trip was still
worse. She was due at this port last
Sunday forenoon, but did not reach
this harbor until about three o'clock
Monday morning. No mail was
brought. This morning she arrived
on time with the mail. Did she tow
up?

Alpena Passenger Steamers.

All the steamers that will carry
passengers to and from Alpena the
coming season, are now in commission
except the new iron steamer City of
Mackinaw, which is not yet ready,
and as the steamers will be patronized
extensively the coming summer, the
question naturally arises which are
the best boats to take passage on.
We believe all the passenger steam
ers that run here are well provided
with life saving apparatus and have
everything aboard in the shape Of
life preservers, life boats, ETC., that
are required by law, and that all the
steamers have capable, reliable, eff
cient and courteous officers, and that
the passengers will be we'll used and
comfortably provided for. In these
respects no fault can be found. The
passengers are sure, we believe, of
comfortable berths, we'll cooked meals,
plenty of eatables, and courteous
treatment. The main questions to be
considered is safety and quick trips.
For this purpose we submit the follow
ing as showing the histories of the
various steamers, and thus our readers
can Judge for themselves as to which
boats are worthy of being patronized !:
CITY OF CLEVELAND.
The City of Cleveland was built in
1880; has an iron hull; four water
tight compartments registers 1921
tons, and is undoubtedly the fastest
steamer that runs on the lakes. Her
record last year shows that she travel
ed some $4,000 miles, making sixty
six round trips between Detroit and
Mackinaw, and very seldom got much
behind time. Her rating is Al which
places her in the first rank. She has
feathering paddle wheels and contains
81 state rooms. The steamer arrives
at this port, on her way up, at 8
o'clock on Tuesday nights, and at 6
o'clock on Saturday mornings; on her
down trips she leaves Alpena at 8
o'clock OH Wednesday evenings, and
at 8 o'clock on Sunday mornings.
The fare from Alpena to Detroit is
$3.50 for a single trip and "a for a
round trip. Meals and berths are
extra-meals being fifty cents each,
and the berths ranging in price from
81 to $3.50. Parlors and rooms en-
suite, So. We understand that there
is no extra charge for sitting on a
sofa all night.
ARUNDEL.
The Arundel was built in 1877
has an iron hull rates AL, and regis
tiers 312 tons. She is fast boat and
made good record last year, having
made ia round trips between Alpena
and Bay City. Her time for arriving
at Alpena is about 5 o'clock on Tues
day, Thursday and Saturday morn
ings, and clears for Bay City an hour
or SO after her arrival. The steamer
has 20 state rooms with single and
double bcrths. The fare to Bay City
is $3.50, berths included, but meals
arc extra-pricc fifty cents each.

1875; is III feet long, % feet beam,
10 feet deep, registers 5Sl tons, and

heads, and can accommodate eighty
one first class passengers. This boat
is especially favored with first class
corps of efficient officers, aud her

tween Alpena and Detrolt-a large

the mail from Bay City three times {
week, and expects to arrive at Alpens
on Wednesday, Friday, and Sunday
mornings, but has not made very
great success so far. She was repair
ed in 1878 and 1879.
The above list shows that flve boat!
have good rating, and four of then
we have no hesitation in recommend
ing as good and reliable passenger
steamboats-the City of Cleveland
Pearl, Arundel and Flora. The frs
three steamers are remarkably fas
boats, and all four are well differed
have good accommodations, and tn,
passengers will find comfortable cab
ins and berths and receive courteou
treatment.

vessel is in first class condition, ant
then as the vessel becomes more un
seaworthy she is designated as AN
Az, B1, B14, or BIZ.
Two of the steamers that come her,
are in the Al class one is in the Al.
class; two are in the Az class, ant
two are in the 81 class.

attacking him, just merely corrected
a mistatement of the organ. He said
the police sounded the fire alarm when
a row took place, and member Of
the police force informed us that the
alarm was not sounded by the police,
and requested us to correct the mis-
tatement in the organ. If our cotem-
