on the part Of the owners, went in per-
son 10 Glasgow, and superintendent the

which she was built. Her dimensions

SIS. Il tons. she Is classed 100 Al at
Lloyd's. Her model is q splendid one,
and the water line is indicative Of a good
sailer.
The cabin, which is large and comfort
able, Is richly finished in French
polished teak and bird's-eye maple,
ambellished with floral designs in gilt
The dining table occupies the centre OF
the saloon, and around it are revolving
chairs. There are four staterooms fur
nished with double berths and elegantly
fitted up. The captains cabin is hand
somely finished. The elegance OF the
passenger accommodation will likely
make the Andrew WEIGH favorite yes

two years and eight months old, born ct
San Francisco, died Of sufocatiOn. on
