SS "NEW ENGLAND."

Extract from the " LIVERPOOL DAILY POST," July 2nd, 1898.

The Dominion Line, whose Steamers ply between Liverpool and Canada and the United States, have just had built a magnificent twin-screw. Steam-ship named the "NEW ENGLAND," by Messrs. Harland & Wolff, of Belfast.

The "New England," which may be described as the latest ocean leviathan, was yesterday lying at the Alexandra Dock, having arrived the previous evening from Belfast. Her funnel could be seen as far as New Ferry, and her large dimensions attracted a considerable number of visitors to the quay alongside to which she has moored the steamer, which has a tonnage of nearly 11,600, is designed to carry a large number of first and second class and also steerage passengers.

A luxurious saloon, with seating accommodation for nearly 200, is situated on the deck-house erected on the hurricane deck, with magnificent state-rooms (containing in several instances brass bedsteads), baths, and lavatories.

The second cabin saloon, which is on the deck below, presents a very handsome appearance. It is capable of seating about 100, and nothing could be better than the sleeping accommodation provided for these passengers, the cabins and berths being conveniently arranged to the saloon.

The steerage rooms are in the starboard alleyways, the accommodation here provided were excellent and up-to-date. The dining room is large and spacious and contains a Piano. There are large and roomy promenades on the steamer for the three classes of passengers.

On the saloon deck, there is a handsome entrance to the saloon, lounge, library, ladies' room, and smoking room. There is also a beautiful ladies' room and a spacious smoking room for the second class passengers on the bridge deck. The furniture and fittings throughout are very choice and substantial.
