THE S.S. TAI{MING.
Successful and Pleasant Trip
on Sunday.
Over seven hundred people were aboard the s,s. Tai Ming, yesterday afternoon, when she made a successful trial trip. The vessel, which is under the com- mand of Captain Lowingdon, was built for the Kwong-sai Steam Navigation Company, by the Kwong Tuk Chang. The vessel commences running on Sunday next, in the meantime any minor matters that need attention will be seen to. There were many ladies on board, and a very pleasant time was spent.
