should be laid dowa about a month later than the
first if everything goes well; Long looked

for time now in sight.

 

On Saturday next the Governor General, His Excellency the |
e of Devonshire, will lay the keel of the first of the 8,100- |
steamships to be built at the shipyards in this port. That wail
decision arrived at yesterday. The first of the slips is nearly
jy and the work of preparing the keel is going forward and,

s expected that everything will be in re for the big)
t.

Seen this morning in regard to the preparations, Superintend-
F. F. Schellenberg said that the first of the slips was pretty
ly ready and the steel was now being prepared for the keel,|
he thought that by Saturday it would be in such shape that

ould be well and truly laid by His Excellency. Preparations
be made to accommodate the public as it is expected that if
weather is propitious a large crowd will be present, as every-|
in Prince Rupert is interested in the shipbuilding.

The second keel should be laid about a month later if every-
g goes well. There is already 95 per cent of the steel for
ships on the ground and the rest of it is expected soos.
he event is set for 3 p. m. directly after the Canadian Ciub
heon.
he laying of this keel is the great event that has been looked
during the last few months. .Many vexatious delays have
rred to put off the time, but it is now hoped and expec!
the kee! will be laid and that work will proceed steadily

Friday evenings the Port Simpson
orchestra gave a dance in the St

patronized by the Indian visitors

to the city for the fair. The
dance last night was the best one ik eer
of the three and was most popu- oe

lar. There were over a hundred
couples present and dancing was
kept up until many hours afte:
midnight. Even then it was with
evident reluetance that the danc-
ers were persuaded to give the
musicians a rest.

Numerous white dancing en-

querade at the Exhibition and the
snecess attained on this occasion
will encourage the Port Simpson
