STEAMER CAPE COD HAS
 NEW PIER IN NEW YORK

The Thames River Line, which runs the steamer Cape Cod between here and New York has been obliged to give up it's Brooklyn bridge pier at New York on account of the demolition of that docking place and has moved to new quarters at Pier 55 foot of East Third street, which they will occupy until March 1st. After that date the line will occupy permanent docking quarters at Pier 31, East River, which will be by far the best location and will afford the most attractive facilities for the handling of freight which this line has so far en- joyed Norwich consignees are advised by the local agent to bear in mind that their New York shippers should be noti- fled at once to deliver their shipments to Pier 55, East River, instead of to t . old Brooklyn Bridge pier. Pier 55 is e. cellently located and equipped for the prompt handling of shipments.
