North West at Cleveland.

North West at Cleveland.
Cal Stone, Of the Great Northern re-
turned yesterday at noon from Cleveland,
Ohio, where, with a number of officials
of the Northern roads, the landing of the
first trip of the season Of the North
West, the Northern Steamship company's
big boat, was witnessed.
Mr.. Stone stated yesterday that the
boat was in excellent condition and that
beyond doubt the pair, the North West
and the North Land, were the finest
boats in commission on the Great Lakes.
During the winter more than $400,O00
has been spent on repairs and alterations
for the boats. The service has been i'm
proved in every way, there being more
berths than formerly and much better
accommodations in the dining salon.
Meals will be served at regular hours
as usual, but a change has been made in
the service and now meals are served at
all times, a la carte. This change, it is
expected, will meet with great favor from
the travelling public.
Aboard the North West were twenty
eight bridal couples, who had chosen the
trip for their honeymoon. Indications all
point, according to Mr.. Stone, for ex-
ceedingly heavy travel on the lakes this
season.
