The ms. Changle, built by the Hong- Rong and Whamupon Dock Company to the order of Messrs. G. S. Yuill & Co., Ltd, of Sydney, for the Australian Oriental Line, Ltd, carried out her oficial trials on Saturday. The course run was between so and so miles altogether, and the result of the trials proved extremely satisfactory, reflecting the highest credit in the vessel's builders.

The Changle was launched on April
