steamship can give, yet nave not,
the Ballarat. Just launched for the
Peninsuar and Oriental Company,
should distinctly appeal. She Is n
twin-screw steamer of some 1l,O0O
tons. whose destination is the com
pany's one-class service to Australia,
via the Cape. Such ships have the adj
vantage of combining up-to-dateness
with freedom from those social desti-
nations which are inevitable where
passengers are graded in the custom
airy fashion. The Ballarat, which was
to have a sister ship. the BendiSo left
London on her maiden voyage some
weeks ago. Her passenger accommo-
dation includes. in addition to commo-
dious dining and smoking rooms, a
verandah cafe and MUSHROOM. It
follows, too, that her one-class pas
sengers will not only have the run of
the decks. but will be accommodated
in the best part of the ship. Such
vessels as the Ballarat are plain proof
of the revival recently manifested in
Australian emigrant traffic. The Pc
ninsular and Oriental Company until
lately carried on third-class passen-
gers. This Australian branch service
via the Cape, with its single class, Is
democratic venture admittedly call
ed for the needs of the times. Nor Is
II other than matter of congratula-
ton that the excellent class of people
now going out to Australia with a
view to settlement should be provided
with the best possible accommodation
in boats which are of character to
assure comfort. Probably in no
branch of the steamship trade Is the
voyager of modest means better serv-
ed than in the various services to the
Commonwealth. The circumstance
may help to explain the fact that the
emigrant accommodation is frequent
| ly booked up some months ahead. The
competition between the several
States of the Commonwealth for
promising emigrants Is. of course, an
important influence.
