Our OF SERVICE. The stern-wheel
steamer Flora is having her machinery re-
moved at the foot of n street. in order that
it may be placed in the steamer now build
ing on the ways in Washington to take her
place. She was built in San Francisco
nearly twenty years ago, and has done val
liable service, being especially handy where
the water was shallow, being the lghtest
draft steamer on the river. A few years
ago she was found to be in bad condition,
and had her hull strengthened, but lattery
it was evident that unless entirely rebuilt,
her days of usefulness were over, and it
was decided that it was better to build a
new boat than to spend money upon her.
The new boat will be very much like the
Flora, with the exception that she will
have little more beam, and will be os
very light draft.
