A NEW STEAMER.
Being Built for New York Line and to
be Ready Next june.

The announcement that the Maine
Steamship company viii build a big new
steamer during the coming winter will
cause a great deal Of Interest among
Portland people, who are glad to note
the continued prosperity Of this fayorite
line OF boats, running between Portland
and New York. The company has Just
made q contract with the Delaware River
Iron Shlpbuildtng Co. OF Chester, Pa,
to construct the new steamer and have
It ready for service By June %, 1901.
Inc new steamer is to be built on the
same general lines as the HOratiO Hall,
but it will be somewhat larger and more
cOmmOdlOus,
During the present season the need Of
a new and larger boat was made plainly
evident from the immense traffic Of this
line all through the time when people
were travelling in great mum bers. The
Manhattan has done good service in her
time, but the demands Of the line are
now much greater than they were when
the Manhattan was built. With the HO-
ratio Hall and another steamer still
larger than the Hall the traffic will be
handled with comparative ease. The
steamer viii be as fast as the Hall, if not
faster.
Inls VIII zInaEeeUDe regular running
time between Portland and New York
about 20 hours, or even less when haste
is necessary. The new steamer viii be
fitted up Gin the finest manner and every
effort viii be made to have her the best
and fastest steamer engaged in the coast
wise traffic that runs into this port.
The name Of the new steamer has not
been decided upon, but various sugges-
UiOns have been made.
