Needless• to say we refer the new White Star • liner Adriatic, that splendid mammoth which., hes just been oompleted by the great Belfast shipbuilding flim of Harland and Wolff. • Biggest of all British twin-screw steam- ,- lined with every possible contriv- e "ai a fit enhancing the comfort and s ty of those on board, superbly de- corated throughout her passenger ae ,eommodation, the _Adriatic may be 'said to attain that reputedly unattainable degree perfection: She is not. the first ship of her name which has sailed under the White Star -"•-" flag. Thirty-five years ago, when the - late Mr. Tedi. Ismay was building up- .: the world-wide reputation which r is company has ever since. enjoyed, there. "was launched: at Belfast the premier Adriatic. That vessel, -no doubt, was ;'.aegarded at- the time as a wonderful ` -creation, but. .if placed- alongside her successor of to -day she would cut but --e sorry figs:re.. Indeed, the contrast be- tween the. two boats affords so strik- tng an illustration of the developments • which have taken 'place In the steam - ease Shlp world that we will venture on s 'few figures. The tonnage of the first -- Adriatic -was 3887 gross; that -of the second is 25,000 gross. The dimensions ttf the older • vessel were:- Length 4t.9 -""""Teel 6 inches; breadth 40 feet 9. inches; Arid depth 30 feet. Those of the view- ,-oomer-'are-Length 725 feet 9 inches; breadth 7s feet 6 inches: depth 50- feet. -The total number of passengers, which • the first Adriatic, could carry was 869, whereas accornm`odatdin 'for 31000 is provided ABOARD THE PRESENT LINER. in designing the latest adddtion, to their &et the White Star management lite assistance of colored -illustrations. Nothing tri the. way of pen -pictures or_ of mere black -and -white photographs can convey`any true idea of the sump- tuous. maWier in which the task. of •'r- namenting the passenger quarters on board • the Adriatic has been carried out. We wilt however,. do our best to sketch. out the salient features. The first-class dining saloon, situated on the upper deck and extending across the full width of the ship, is .painted in 'ivory -white. Overhead_ there is a "vast dome, the leaded glass therein being rn alternate panes of white and pale yel- tcw. Immediately beneath the, bottoin of the dome Is a frieze of paintings de- picting scenes ' in Switzerland, Italy, the Rhinelands, and the• Yellowstone Park. Instead of the old-fashioned long tables, the up-to-date restaurant system, of•small tables has been adopted, an innovation which should teed greatly tcwards less "starchiness"..and greater convivality at meal -times. For recreative purposes a handsome piano, encased in oak inlaid -with tine woods, has been placed in' this` saloon; but the musical. arrangements do not end, here, for the - Adriatic will carry her awn orchestra. • _ • From the dining saloon we come: in the nalural'sequence of events, to .the smoke room, an ideal apartment for votaries of the •weed. Its walls -are clothed with figured leather. and inlet with pictures of :events. famous In the ann$ls of _ •• .-. `BRITISH- NAVAL.

'which can make for additional comfort, while a number -of new features of high importance have been Introduced. For .example, there• are Turkish baths c n board, the -Adriatic; luxuries -which- now-' pnake their apeeararce afloat for the ttirst time. They comprise• the usual hot', temper - !ate,' and .cooling, mettle, shampooing rooms, plunge bath, and massage douches. They -will certainly not suf- efer from lack of patronage.

A "dark' -room" for amateur • piio!ographers has not -boon overlooked; - whilst the usual barber's hop., with all the latest improvements, is duly in evi- den ce:_ Fz One great feature of the Adriatic's ipassenger aceommodation throughout is its roominess: 11i groat breadth of the ship, coupled with the exceptional Haight between the various •teres; has - rendered it possikle to provide • state- rooms_of a size far in .advance of any- thing, to which the ocean voyager has hitherto been accustomed. in the case • of the Adriatic they - are lofty,• well - •lighted•, and perfe;tly ventila'led; and - •there is, moreover. the additional at- traction that np less : than -seventy-six of them are • SNGLE-BERTH- ROOMS, - as the smoke room. is an apartment known•on board as "The Loungi."

A SIGN OF THE SKIES. (By a Banker). Historians inform the that the Emperor Constantine., the Great, then a heathen, previous to the commencement .of the battle which gained for him his crown, saw suspended in mid-air a large fiery crass; and that 'after the victory he be- came a convert to Christianity and adopted the sign of the cross as -his badge. And probably front time to time this natural -probably electrical -phe- nomenon has been observed, though of course in these days of education and enlightenment the strange spectacle is riot- viewed with the alarm and terror which it evoked in the days of heathen- dom, -or in the dark ages of mediaeval superstition. - A beautiful instanee of this startling phenomenon, which the writer was for- tunate :in .witnesiztg, opcurred in the south of Ireland- in the early nineties. He was driving along* one of those lovely coast roads which it would be difficult to match for natural beauty in any part of the world. On each side.of the rued was a high and picturesque irregular hedge; no -trimrned down In a long straight line by the vandal hand of those who are deepoiling the. country of its "beauty" and. robbing ._-the landscape of Its greatest charm. but_ a luxuriant festooned and garlanded sylvan copse ;- here a tasseled, feathery spray of traveller'. joy ; here a wreathed .chaplet oh -racemes of. the brilliant- and handsome scarlet -berry of this, black bryony ; or dere a tall .,bush di the 'striking and somewhat rare wild euoinymue. every bough loaded with its lovely" rose -pink and orange triple ber- .ries. •And now at a turn of the rnad'the see/acting seascape_ bursts ,upon the view; the road soon skirting the sea- shore, the foam of the breaking waves almost reaching the rock -protected her- der of the road. But fer e:lore beautiful, and far 'more wonderful, suspenried"aver the sea at an elevation of not rriore than twenty' de- _gre s, ,and suddenly starting • into view, eiuw-s a large - end gleaming cross; clear and distinct, though in full noonday;' ry t 'rectangular, but -shaped somewhat like a St. Andrew's cross. And •there it hangs, gtist'ning hi a. pale; larnh. nt •glt-fhqug*h had it been night it would dc.ubtiess have shone with a brilliant, grite dazzling fire -until • soon' it" faded away, leaving -amemory never to be dimmed, never to -be forgotten or obit`er- 41€id:. - - . Aye, and what does the crass mean to !hr. world 9' An emancipation cruelties .and the horrors of heathen- dom; a free pardon to all who will ac- cept -the Great Atonement made by the `-on of God thereon_; and •an eternal" in- tierttance dor -all believers, 4n -a realm - of surpassing joy, never ending plea- sures and inconceivable glories .and felicities. _. —4 -SATISFAE'fORY TO IIIJI.

Each municipality should in 1 Statute labor system too' many shirked their duty by doing their work only one-half or not at all. Mr. Campbell denounced the prac- tice of putting the road scraper to work when the road was dry in- stead of doing it when it was soft. The, first requisite of a good road was good drainage. Gravel or asphalt was only a top dressing: The.foundation beneath Was what carried the load, and it should be kept dry. If wet, frost was sure to rrin it. If the foundation is good, six inches of gravel should iilake a road that would Last for ,many- years...Gravel , should be screened and the stone crushed. It was a great mistake to,use sand and. Mud, and call it gravel. Mr. Campbell did not advocate radical changes but simply that the work should be done under sound busi- ness principles. L oder the new plan; statute labor was dispensed •with, and a road superintendent d appointed say for each township, 1 n and thus a uniform. system will be adopted.

The county should purchase the neces- sary machinery and loan it to the different municipalities as requir- ed. A -majority vote of the Colin ty Council is sufficient to inaugur- ate the new system. Mr. Camp- bell gave as the reason why several municipalities returned to the statute labor system was because they commuted labor at 60c a day, expecting it to accomplish the same work as the statute labor and grants formerly accomplished whit: was unjust to the commu- tation system.

The aid granted by the government, that ..of. giving one dollar for every two contributed by the county, for' the maintenance of county roads, is doing much towards increasing ' .:the interest in public roads.. A -few days ago, a large number 'from all parts of .the couuty as- sembled in the county town to hear what Mr. A. W. Campbell, • Deputy Minister of Public Works, had to say on the subject. He -. • maintained that there was plenty .of money spent in the county to ,''give the people a perfect road sys- tem. The chief reason why the . roads were so poor was because our statute labor system was too primitive, and much of the money spent was practically wasted.

There was a certain amount of thunder and the dark clouds ac compaaied'by a few light showers seemed to foretell . a wet day, and fears were expressed by many that expenses already incurred would not be met. However, as. the day advanced, the sky began to clear, and the cloude•. began to assemble, while the sky did not clear entirely, there was just suf- ficient clouds, to moderate the .beat and' snake the day all that could be desired. About half past twelve the ClaremonT Citizen's nd arrived and. from that tune on -• everything had a holiday -- appearance. • The gate keepers for several hours had all they could do to .sell tickefs fast enough so the crowds would not be delayed at the gate. - The number of tickets sold shows` about 1200 were on the grounds during the, day, the largest number by far on record. The chief attraction of the day was the foot -ball tournament in which eleven teams had entered, four of these, Scarboro and Brookline failed to show up at the required time. The various games were well contested, and with very little friction. Geo. Law made a most etllcient referee, although the !position was not an envi- able one.. The matter of feeding such a large niunber was by no - means an easy one. Two large tables .were set, and the score or so who were employed at this task were kept busy until no one was inclined to ask for more. - The tivo tablt s Were enclosed by a' strong wire fence, but even this did not keep many, even from the fair- sex, ' tt5 seek admittance through the six inch space at the 'bottom; and -one- hapless _young man lost a part of hiraiment. athis while endeavoring to perform, illegal act, one of the atten- r dents having - grabbed at him when he was about three-quarters way through. - The. greatest diffi- culty was experienced the he entrance gate.
