During thi» time the vessel was thoroughly overhauled from stem to stern, both inside and out. A new de luxe suite has been added on the promenida deck, and other important alterations made which will add greatly to the comfort and convenience of travellers. Of greatest interest is the installation of two additional ventilators of 18in and also two of 14in diameter respectively, leading right down from the boat deck to the main deck, which, with the improvements in the ventilation system, make tho main deck quite cool and fresh.- Cabin fittings, and furnishings have been renewed or renovated, and. in this respect special attention has been paid to the first-class amoking-robin, the lounge, and the dining-room. A large sum has been expended in these renewals and alterations, and the result is that the Niagara has now re-entered the service up-to-dato in every respect; in fact, it is claimed that she is as good as new.

A definite decision to sell Farnham Park—with the exception of the portion immediately around the castle—has been taken by "the committee considering the division of the Diocese of Winchester. The Manor of Farnham has belonged to the Sec of Winchester since A.D. 806, when King Ethclwald granted it to St. Swithin. Its moated castle — not to be sold —dates from the 12th century, but has been rebuilt more than once. It was twice .captured during tho Civil War. " ,' ■
