The newest and finest of the Detroit and Cleveland Steam Navigation Company's steamers, the 3ity of Mackinac, was launched at the Detroit Dry-dock Company's iron ship-building yard at Wyandotte, at 4 o'clock Saturday afternoon. The iteamer is of iron, and is completed to the main leek. She will resemble in general appearance the steamer City of Cleveland, which was built at tor Ncwoomb, of "the life-saving service, the same yard four years ago, and which is now one of the most successful amd popular steamers [>nj;he lakes. The dimensions of the new steamer ire as follows: Length of keel, 200 feet: length over all, 212 feet; beam, 32 feet;,breadth over the guards, 00 feet; depth of hold, 12*2 feet. She ,viil ha\e a beam engine, with cylinder .11 inches in diameter and LO feet stroke. She will have ¦alhering wheels 1 8 feet fai diameter and 9 feet ace, and two steel boilers capable of working ai a pressure of fifty pounds to the square inch. One difference between this and the City of Cleveland which is in favor of the new steamer is that the shaft will be nearly level with the deck, which will be ramped over it as in the steamer City of Milwaukee. Her cabin is 10- feet long, and has sixty state-rooms upstairs andl six in the ladies* cabin below. The dining-roonn and kitchen on the new steamer are aft below decks. She has tour watertight bulkheads. Her cabin will be elaborately finished, and n<o expense will be spared. She is intended to ruin on the route be- j tween Detroit and Port Austin:. Her cost when | completed will be upwards ot .^105,000. WELLAND CANAL. Special Telegram to i The Inter Oce;m. Pokt Colborne:, Ont., May ti.— Passed Down— Schr Jura.
