The Thousand Island steamboat company and Richelieu & Ontario navigation company have made arrangements to land at the Crossman house dock and Thousand Island house docks, thus enabling passengers to step off the steamer on the hotel grounds. This will, undoubtedly, be a very agreeable change. It is understood that a neat and roomy waiting room, with a covered balcony, will be erected for the convenience of passengers waiting for their steamers where they can rest comfortably and view the surrounding scenery and life down the river. The steamers of the Thousand Island steamboat company will land at both hotel docks on each trip, and all hotels will be treated alike.
