INTERLACHEN ETCHINGS.
Tb© Movement for Incorporation—Or
ange Shipments.
INTERLACHEN, Fla., Dec. 23. At a meet
ing of the citizens of Interlachen at Hotel
Lagonda a day or so ago, the question of
incorporating the town was discussed, and
a committee of five was appointed for that
purpose. Interlachen would have been in
corjKirated two years ago but for the fact
that the principal property owners
were non-residents. The value of the prop
erty within the proposed corporate limits is
between six and seven hundred thousand
dollars.
Oranges are still being shipped from here
in large quantities, but the larger shippers
are holding back, hoDing for a better mar
ket next month.

freeze comes, they will lie shipped in large
quantities by Jan. 20.

oranges, strawberries, peaches and c<fl veg
etables direct from the prodi:-<-r, saving
him all risk of shipping. It will be known
as the Interlachen Shipping Company.
With all the California advertising there
are fully twice as many visitors stopping at
our hotels as there were at this time lust

greatest shipping points for oranges in the
State. There are about 950 acres of groves
that will come into bearing within the next
three years.

cession on the day of the Queen’s Jubilee

a subscription paper; "do I look like a mail

in my ai pearance to indicate that I am over

THE MORNING NEWS: SATURDAY. DECEMBER 24, 1887.
CENTRAL’S NEW STEAMSHIP
To be Named "lhe City of Birming
ham”—To be Ready Next August.
The keel of tho new steamship which is to
be added to the Ocean Steamship Compa
ny's fleet, has lieen laid at Roach’s yard iu
Chester, and the work of building the vessel
will be vigorously pushed. The company
expects to receive it about Aug 1, 1888.
This will probably not be the only new
steamer. The demands made upon the
company for tonnage are in excess of its
capacity, and two steamers w have
been chartered, but they do not supply the
need. Tho volume of business will be
further increased when the Goodwater ex
tension has been completed, and anew ter
ritory begins to send its products into Sa
vannah, Tho company is therefore consid
ering the building of other vessels, and will
probably give out the contract before long
as it aims to keep up with its business.
The new steamer will probably be named
the City of Birmingham, though her name
has not yet been positively decided upon.
She will be a freighter of 2,300 tons
burthen, exclusive of coal. She will be 820
feet long, 42 feet 6 inches beam and 16 feet
6 inches draft. President Alexander and
General Manager Sorrel both have declined
to make public what her cost will be, but
they say that she will be a very expensive
vessel, as she will be fitted with triple ex
pansion engines and all the modern ap
pliances for the rente and for the easy hand
ling of cargoes. She will not be put on
any regular run, but will go to Phila
delphia, New York or Boston as the busi
ness may demand.

LETTER FROYI MME. BIVK-KIYG.
Messrs. Chickering cf: Sons:
Gentlemen -After many years’ experience as
a pianisto in this country and Europe, and after
having used the instruments of the leading
makers here and abroad, it is with pleasure that
I give to you my matured opinion of your
pianos. In them 1 find the purest, truest and
most musical tone, together with an action
which will answer my demands equally in the
most pianissimo playing and in the heaviest
forte effects, and combining these qualities with
an almost endless resonance.
I can find for them no more fitting praise than
that of the Great Maestro, Franz Liszt, who de
clared them “superlatively perfect.”
