One boat has been bought for the new line. It was formerly known as the URANIA and is now known as the KEYSTONE of Erie. The boat is 185 ft. overall and has a beam of 50 ft. with a speed of 13 miles an hour. The new boat will have a capacity of 800, with staterooms for 100. There will be a night service between Buffalo and Erie, the days being given over to
