Tho Jadies turned out in lar.e numbers, and, despite the unplersantness of the ‘weather, they seemed to enjoy themselves highly. ‘The death of Miss Quintard, the lovely daughter of the designer and contractor of the vessel, threw a gloom over the ceremonies which were to have taken place after the Jaunch; but, despite this sadness, the builders and (noir ‘assistants did everything that could be done for the com- fort avd enjoyment of the spectators.

Two of his ribs were also broken. He was sent to the hospital in a very few minutes after the accidegt. William Hogan, residing im Newtown, was injored in the face and in both hands, and was removed to his resi- dence. Others were injured slightly, and will soon re- cover from their bruises and contusions. ‘Mr. Rowland and Mr. Whitney provided the steamers Jean Sands and Mary Winslow for the accommodation of a party of invited guests who dogired to see the launch from the river.
