FERRY SERVICE.
RUSH SETS IN. The expected rush of holiday-makers from the North Island, bound, most of them, for Ihinedin, has set in in earnest. The Wahine brought 870 passengers to Lyttelton on Saturday morning, and the Maori disembarked 830 yesterday. For this week the Union Company has provided what is easily a record service to date. The traffic northward this week does not promise to be very large, and it will probably be less than usual at this time of the year, owing to the attraction of the Exhibition at Dunedin. The two extra steamers, the Mararoa and the Tamahine, to arrive at Lyttelton on Christmas Day, will leave again immediately f6r Wellington. It is not expected that they will be called upon to 'take passengers from Lyttelton.
