It is a remarkable fact that there is not a sailing vessel in port and there is little likelihvod of there being any this winter, Dredges No. 4and No. 9 with scows ' will also winter here, The Cambria is now on the drydock, cut in two, and is haviny 36 feet added to her length, and when completed will make one of the staunchest crafts on the Sault ste Marie route. Owen Sound struck a genuine bonanza when it secured the establishment of the Pol- son shipyard. Mr. Polson has three hundred and twenty men engaged at the present time, and hasjust taken an order for a new gsteel steamer for the Parry Sound Lumber Com- pany, which will keepa full staff busy all next summer. A by law granting $15,000 to the Polson Iron Works Co, to assist them in purchasing the Owen Sound drydock was voted upon on Friday and carried bya large ma- jority. The Polson Iron Works Co. hasa very large plant for the building of iron and steel steamships, yachts and launches and marine engines and boilers; also the Brown automatic engine, which is said to be the most ecenomical in the market. ‘The head- quarters of the works are in Toronto. OAKVILLE. Oakville harbor presents a very busy ap- pearance, quite a number of steamers and sailing vessels laid up forthe winter: The Doty line of Toronto ferry steamers, viz: The Sadie, Canadian, Mascott, John Hanlan, Queen City and Luella are on the west side or the harbor. Oo the east side are the schooners Giimsby, Albacore, Highland Beauty, Rover and Hope. Captain J. Quinn, who owns the Highland Beauty, hus had her hauled out put in good shape and launched, and is now hauling out the Rover. James Andrew, ship builder, is giving the Grimsby and Albacore a thorough overbaul- ing, and we expect some more here to be re- paired. There is some talk of building a dry- dock here. The yachts Aggie Marlatt and Armstrong are removing the iron from her keel and are going to replace it with five tons of lead. ana ie Ashburn had the honor of chris- Northern Wave, which was done in a - graceful manner, in the presence of, and as— y, Mrs. A. S, Gilman, Miss Clarke, liss Poole and the pretty little Miss Gacie Gil- n. ‘The ladies were kept strictly under the convoy of Mr.Luther Allen,secretary and treas— arer of the Globe Iron Works Co. - Evidently Miss Carrie has secured a corner on christening, as this is the fifth boat she has _ been the official at the important ccremony, ach time evincing firmness and composure Suitable to the occasion. We notieed a larger number of our marine friends present than usual, all of whom seemed proud of the splendid specimen of skill and werkmanship, exhibited in the completion of this fine boat, and remarks congra'ulatory to} her builders were heard from all quarters. It would seem, looking along the vessel’s side, as if she had been moulded together in a mass, for not a rivet head, mark, or abrasion could be distinguished. More especially were the Onlookers pleased at the prompt manner and the exact time at which the boat s'arted from the ways, and the usual running, hammering, Wedging, and bustle so frequently witnessed was conspicuous by its entire absence. The launch was approprirtely fitted out with new bunting, having the union jack at the stem, the house flag at the fore, the burgee at the main, and the ensign at the m.zzen. When the Northern Wave took her grand virgin plunge it was Moticed that she was marked up to16 feet, her draft of water being 3 feet 7} inches forward and 7 teet half inch att, ora mean draft of 5 feet 4 inches. Her dimensions are 312 feet over all, 298 teet keel, 40 feet beam, and 24 feet 6 inches moulded depth. The engines,which will be run by 8S. Miller, and are already placed in the vessel, are triple expansion} cylinders 24, 38, and 61 inches by 42 inches stroke, indicated horse power 1200, sectional wheel 14 teet in diam- ter and 17 feet pitch, her two steel boilers, weighing 40 tons, are 12 feet 6 inches by 14 feet 7 inches, and they will be placed on board at an early date. Among the large nnmber attending the faunch may be mentioned Mr. Haskell, from Ogdensburg, N. Y., Captain Holmes and daughter, Messrs. DeWolf, Wright, Fitz- patrick, Captain Nicholson, one of the oldest dnsurance inspecters for the mercantile eompany, Captains Murch, Mack, Jack and Thomas Lowe, Doville, Brown and many engineers. Also, among the witnesses of the launch were Messrs. Mark Hanna, and H. M. Hanna, accompanied by ladies, The respective names of the steamboats of this line are Northern Lighl, North Wind, ‘ HAMILTON. The following vessels are now laid up at this port for the winter: Propellers Celtic and Michiyan at Mackay’s wharf, where also lies the Macassa (Hamilton Steamboat Com- pany;) propellers Canada and Myles at Mc- Ilwaith’s wharf; propeller Acadia at Zea- land’s wharf.

Navigation at this port has closed after a most successful season, the harbor master reporting a larger number of arrivals than for any previous year. The splendid pro- tection afforded vessels while loading or un- londing, and. tor wintering, baa been pro- nounced by lake captains to be the best on the eastern shore of Lake Huron. The com- pletion of the breakwater and beacon. will add greatly to its protection. The following craft are wintering here: Steambarge P. Crese, tugs Jas. Clark, Juno, A.

The steamers Geneva and Ella Ross are also anchored near the ‘restle dock with the barge Puritan and the schooner L, D, Ballock, of Napanee. The fleet that winters here is a lurge one, and on nearly every vessel sume repairs will be made during the season, which will keep the shipyard works busy the entire winter. The steambarge Nile, Captain Daly, was the first to go on herg route, on April 23, and made the lougest season, guing into winter quarters on December 10, The steambarges Reliance and Resolute, plying be- tween here and Oswego, N.
