The fore part of the deck,' winch hid a break near the batch-' 'way,- has 'been lifted, and a new one laid .down} the/deck now being flush. ' The < alteration iwill make a considerable, difference in her carrying capacity. 'The bulwarks forward have also been raised. A smoking saloon, through which: entrance to the saloon will be gained is being built, arid no doubt will prove a ' great convenience to passengers. Attention has also been overhauled. The Kennedy, when completed, willvhave cost a considerable sum of. money, but no doubt thrt Anchor Company will be rewarded for their enterprise by the steamer •being well, patronised with both passengers and cargo. — Westport Times.
