THE NEW STEAMER ST. cRoIx.
The Splendid New Craft of the Inter
national Co. to Be Launched Monday.

Arrangements have been completed for
the launching of the splendid new screw
steamer st. Croix Of the International line
at Bath Monday next The launch will
take place from the New England Ship
Building company's yard at noon, raj
or shine. General Manager j. B. Coyle has
arranged for special train to leave the
Union station at a. m.. returning to
Portland at $50, which will convey the
directors of the company and invited
guests. The new steamer is large one
and beauty. She is 265 feet over all,
and her tonnage will be over 2O0O. She is
of forty foot beam. Immediately after the
launching she will be taken in tow by
tugs and brought to the Portland Com
pany's wharf here, where she will be
fitted with her engines and boilers. Her
boilers are four in number and her
engines will give her speed of eighteen
miles an hour. Some idea of her 81 re
may be obtained from the fact that she is
ten feet longer than the Manhattan, of
the New York line The St. Croix will
make the trip from Boston to St. J ohm
several hours faster than is now made
The st. Croix is State of Maine produc-
tion from stem to stern. She will be
christened by Miss Philena Winslow,
daughter of Captain J. S. Winslow,
president of the International line.
