Description
Full Text

The Chicago Times says the schr. NEW DOMINION has been overhauled at Sarnia at a cost of $3,000, and her name changed to IDA WALKER. This is not Capt. Mallott's NEW DOMINION, which was recently on Buffalo pier. Changing the name no doubt was owing to the 2 vessels getting continually "mixed."
