EASTERN TRANSIT co. TAKES OVER STEAMBOAT
 LINE OF AWNING SMITH

The Eastern Transit company has succeeded the Aiming J. Smith Trans portation lines in conducting the freight business between Norwalk and New York. In taking over the busi- ness the Eastern Transit Co.,, retains Captain Aiming J. Smith as general manager of the lines and George F. Foote as the local agent.
 The steamer Islander has replaced the Marion and is now making daily trips between Norwalk and New York. William Wheeler, a New York boat man, is head of the new concern. It is expected that another boat will be put on the run within the next few weeks.
 The Marion, which ran between Norwalk and New York for a num- Der of years, has been hbelled by New York creditors and will probably be sold at public auction as were the Rosedale and the Elizabeth. Capt. Smiths home is in Stratfield.
