operator that she was there and all
well. AS she approached the bar it
was extreme low water and she wait
ed for the food turn and entered
about 3 o'clock, and docked at the
O. r. & N. piers at 5 precisely.
She makes a handsome appearance
and looks not unlike the old Colum-
bia in the long swing Of her lines,
from quarter view OF her. She is
very snugly fitted throughout and
her passengers admit the service
aboard is OF the very best. She has
accommodations for l70 frst-class

She brought up 90 hrst-class pas

She laid here about two hours
and then went on to the me-

The British bark Jordanhill, Cap
tain Keneally, arrived here on Sun
day afternoon at o'clock, after a
pleasant and swift passage up from
Callao, Peru. The Jordanhill left
here last July for Callao; and when
the ship left Portland she carried
amidships a new l8-foot, s horse
power naphtha launch, which Captain
Keneally bought to expedite COM
munication with the shore in the va.-
ious ports of the world, and the boat
has made good in all ways Some OF
the old timers, good friends Of
Keneally's allege that the speedy trip
he made to Callao and back is due
to the fact that he had the launch al
hand and turned it to good use in
the towing of the ship on both legs
of the cruise, averring that the four
of five knots the launch could tow the
Jordanhill was lots better than the
ship could do alone; but OF course

Roanoke left San Francisco, within
the hour with the Rose City, and
stopped at Eureka for an hour or
two, and the claim of her officers that
she beat the Rose City up the coast
by fours hours in not altogether un-
reasonable. The Roanoke carried 73
first-class people and had 500 tons of
merchandise tucked away in her hold
for the metropolis. Three passengers
disembarked here from her, Messrs.

opened BY a sketch given by this years

reflected great credit both upon the
Young ladies themselves and upon Inc
thorough taioiug in elOcation for which
the s s,ers of the Holy Cross are noted.
The play WAS followed by a business
meetiog, alter which the graduates took
ranks Just as when they were pupils at
the school and fled into the banquet
hall. which, under the skilliul direction
of Rsmuel Bros, caterers, had been trans
formed "into a thing OF beauty" Ban

were drsped from the walls in graceful
profusion, and the banks of palms and
ferns formed fitting background to
the myriad lights, the beautifully deco

faces of The graduates as they chatled
of the old days at 81. Mary's and made
plans for the future while enjoying the
sumptuous repast. When the meal was
finished. Miss Sallie Harlow, the toast
mistress, raped the sssemblage to order
