the clyde for three more vessels o
her class. These are to be put on tbs

The Maheno, which was more or les:
| of an experiment, has fulfilled the bes
| expectations Of her owners and build
ers and has found great favor with
| the travelling public, sailing with full
passenger lists on both her voyages
| through here from the Colonies. AS
| a result the manager of the line is
now in Scotland in connection with
the building of the three sister ships
| ordered.
With a line of this class of steam
| ships, fitted up as completely as the
Maheno and possessing her speed and
comfort, the passenger business from
the Colonies will pass over to a great
extent from the Oceanic line To the
Union, unless the former company re
places IT'S comparatively obsolete boats
with modern ones.
In any event Honolulu will stand to
win as the calling point for a line of
new steamers, with the proba bility Of
the Oceanic people meeting the COM
petition despite the shelving of the
ships subsidy bin.
