Owen Sound Steamship Line.

This is a new line of steamers that will run from Owen Sound this season, carrying passengers and freight from that port to Prince Arthur's Landing, calling at intermediate ports on the Georgian Bay and the Sault Ste. Marie. The steamer Magnet, Capt. McLeod, and Spartan, Capt. McGregor, are iron side-wheel vessels, and both well known to the travelling public, as first rate passenger boats. These boats will run in connection with the Toronto, Grey & Bruce Railway, leaving Owen Sound on the arrival of the evening train from Toronto. The Magnet and Spartan will make connection with the Canada Pacific Railway at the Landing, whence their passengers and freight will go forward to Winnipeg and points west. The Africa is the third boat of the line, commanded by Captain La France, and her route will be from Owen Sound to Georgian Bay ports and the Sault Ste. Marie.
