The present visit" to Australia of the' Orient liner Ornnus will bo her last, s This decision ■ is . deflhite, for. although she still ranks as a popular steamer, and possesses, good- steaming qualities her age has placed her altogether out of the line with the vessels of the r Oryieto and Otway tvpe. She was built in 1S8&, .and has run regularly to the Commonwealth ever since, Iwing * nrni favourite the whole time on -account of .-her great sea-going qualities.
