SPORTSMEN AT SEA.

Cricket on cargo steamer. All the members of the complement of the Aberdeen and Commonwealth Line cargo steamer Kia Ora, which arrived at Melbourne from-London last week, are keen cricketers, and, having plenty of dock space, the commander has organised a cricket team among the crew. When a match is to begin a section of the deck is netted off, wickets and bats and a ball made of knotted rope are produced. Playing an the wooden deck the most mediocre bowler' is dangerous, for the ball makes great pace off the pitch. With a matting pitch the game can be made more scientific, for the hempen ball will break with a suddenness which would startle even Grinimett (states the "Argus"). It has been said that cricket is played in every land on which the Englishman has sot foot; now it is being played on every sea he sails.

In the north of the North Island the railway haa rtill left a field for cargo-carry-ing small craft,- and here comes in the advantage of the auxiliary screw scow typo of vessel to many of the ports and bays and tidal rivers which the lailway does not touch. The evolution of the coastal services in and out of Auckland in the last forty years has been dominated by this consideration. In discussing the matter in the "New Zealand Railways Magazine," "Tangiwai" also refers to Wellington, and remarks: "It is a pleasure to see the oil-engined centre-board schooners and ketches working ill and out of Wellington harbour. In these vessels the fino art of handling canvas i» happily preserved; the seamanly accomplishment is not to be left entirely to the yachts. Half a dozen or so of the traders of tlu3 class still traverse Cook Strait, making their passages in the open sea mostly under sail. Ono has Matched with admiration the Echo and the Kohi beating in through Wellington Heads against a nor'-wester, the engine aiding the sails. Long may such hardy little craft tramp tho 'Strait."

Several times a year Swedish vessels load cargo in Europe for Australia and New Zealand and proceed, to Cape Town to take in mere cargo. The European cargo for No>v Zealand, as a rule, comprises only a few toni.

The Tisnaren loaded at Swedish ports wood pulp, paper, cream separators, vacuum cleaners, and other general cargo. Baltic pine for Australia was loaded at Norway, the plane boards being for ceilings ,and Tooiiing. South-east winds were experienced on the trip from Oslo to Cape Town, and the passage was a lai- one. Maize, fruit, and genoral cargo were loaded at Cape Town. The winds on the voyage to Australia were mostly westerlies, and the vessel had a rough trip. General cargo was discharged at Fremantle, the first port of call in Australia, and jarrah wood was loaded for New Zealand. There was only 140 tons of cargo to be discharged at Adelaide, and the vessel was in port for only fov.r hours.
