THE - MAORI - S PERFORMANCE. ■Hi* Vmaa Company's fine new turbine clipper IWri gure a las* of her «t eaming qualities laast mjSrt -oh her second trip .from Lytfcfton' s.r. tTeiluigtoß. On lier initial run she did not egcal the Mtheno** record of 9hr 50iniu. But -Uw graceful line* *ad sharp curves of the .new t«£Eel assured one that she was equal to lowering oolours of the other turbine. Xto» distinction che attained on the last trip in- ■under-catting the previous best time by 25 jnnnn«s, Aeoording to Grief Engineer M'Dowell ibt ijn»e occupied from the first, movement sbead io *be first etop off tho wharf was 9hr 25mm. pui Captain Mannmg avows that it was £jiP jnjoute less.

At present, are tteing- made with four different qualifies -of cosl, and ,it is hoped to still l«K3«i> ■she lime to S houre. So far che has not proved berself to "be an unusual coal consumer. Whereas the .Maori bums an average of- about 4 tons iv 6 bonze, The ilarsroi used about 3 tons in 3fi iwrnrs. Accordingly, tho difference is not much.
