BAR HARBoR, June 29.-There sailed into
Bar Harbor the other day the finest passen-
ger steamer ever seen in Maine waters. She
was the screw steamer Oliyette 274 feet
long, 1000 tons burden, and had sailed the
ocean blue on her trip from Boston, at the
rate Of over 10 miles an hour. Her log
showed upwards Of II knots, and as knot
is one and one-seventh of mile, the Olivette
has it in her to go above 20 miles an hour.
Inside, this craft rivals In splendor any
steam yacht in the country, and in all her
make up has no superior along the Ameri-
can coast. She is owned by New York
millionaire. who will sail her between Bos-
ton and Bar Harbor during the season. MAX
ing two trips each way each week. Strange
as it may seem, she proposes to compete
with the railroad. as regards time. and her
owner guarantees trip in clear weather in
II hours. Undoubtedly New Workers and
Hubites will take this elegant craft in large
numbers and her advent is serious blow to
the summer traffic of the Boston & Bangor
Steamship Company.
