STEAMER NOTES. 1t has been rumored
that the steamer City of Bangor would be
run on the kennebec division of the East
ern Steamship Co. this year, opposite to
the steamer Ransom b. Fuller. General
Agent F. S. Salesman when questioned as to
the matter replied that he did not think
such change would be made this season
but that it probably would be made when
the new turbine steamer comes on the Ban
g0r line. Capt Bennett has been giving the
Golden Rod, which lays in the ice just above
the steamboat wharf, a coat of paint, inside
and out, and she looks fine. 1t is reported
alongshore that d. W. Kerst of Bucksport
will put the Castine on the route between

Dor line, while the Sappho undergoes gen
eral overhauling.... The name of Quaker
City is now a thing of the past. The Maine
Central R. r. Co., has christened the new
steamer bought by them Sieur de Monts.
Repairs on the boat are proceeding rapidly
and the steamer will probably be put in
commission by the last of May or first of
june. The Vinalhaven and Mineola have

between Belfast and Bar HarbOr this sea-
som. The Pepobscot of the Eastern S. S.
Co. comes on the route this week, leaving
Boston Friday afternoon, and coming to

eastern bay. She will make two trips per
week, leaving for Boston Monday and
Thursday at go p. H. and arriving on the
return Wednesday and Saturday.. The
