Chisholm, built last season at Port Perry, for Messrs. Cotton & Rowe, to ply on Lake Scugog, between the ead of the Lake and Lindsay, made her trail trip a short time since, having on board a large company of gentlemen, and which proved most satisfactory, Sosiing fully up to the anticipa- tion of her owners. The large and increasing traffic between those important points, imperatively demanded a Steamer to meet its wants, which object has at length been obtained, and no doubt, will be justly appreciated by the inhabitants on the shores of the whole length of the Lake. It formerly required two days to travel from Lindsay to Toronto, which can be easily accom- plished in fifteen hours, leaving Lindsay on either Monday, Wednesday or Friday at 9 o'clock a.m., arriving at Port Perry be- Steamship "Ogemah" of Lindsay. Captain George Rose navigated this vessel from Lindsay to Port Perry with passengers and goods, often towing scows filled with logs, during the tween 1 and 2 p.m., thence to Port Whitby per Scripture & Ray's Stage, meeting the Steam- er Admiral at 8 o'clock, on her upward trip to Toronto. The Woodman returns to Lindsay on Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday morning at 9a.m., touching at Hoovers, Darling- ton, and Ambrose Landing. We understand it is proposed to place a Line of Stages on the northern end of the route be- tween Lindsay and Peterboro, which will complete the Line, making it a pleasant and speedy route for the denizens of the ris- ing and flourishing town of Pe- terboro, to reach the shores of blue Ontario. The dimensions of the Woodman, which is commanded by Capt. H. Chisholm, are as fol- lows: length of keel ninety-five over all one hundred feet; twen- ty feet beam; extreme width thirty feet; depth of hole five and a half feet; draft of water three feet; beam engine twenty-five horse power; five feet stroke. Her boiler is constructed of a new principle, only consuming three cords of wood on her trip up and down, a distance of about sixty miles. Her model for a boat of her size, is really beautiful, having a fine entrance and clear run, "walking the waters like a thing of life," at the rate of nine miles per hours. The cabin is on the main deck, which consider- ing the size of the boat, is large and roomy, fitted and furnished in a style that would favonzably compare with steamers of muc greater pretensions. Those who intend making a pleasure tour of a day or two, will find no slight inducements to take this route, there being many objects of interest to exam- ine, and fish and game in abun- dance. 1870s. It was later purchased by the Trent Valley Navigation Co. DENTISTRY. PORT PERRY DENTAL CENTRE 238 Queen St. 985-8451 Dr. A. Chia, Dr. J. Cottrell, Dr. M. Garfat, Dr. J. Hardy, Dr. T.
