Another important addition . to . thV' Union S.S. .Company s fleet'has-been made .by the .purchaso of the well-known mail'.-liner Miowera. She will, take ■ up the . New Zealand running, and : was -expected -to leave '.Sydney, yesterday for- Wellington.' Tho : Jliowera has for many years, been prominently .identified with, the .Canadian-Australian-' Line, and she was'only withdrawn from the.-mail service in , favour ol'- the r.eit twin-s<iiow - steamer Marama. The " Miowera . has : : a- • creditable : reicord of service, having made r 63 Voyages from Australia, arid covered 1,000,000 knots 'in; 15 years. She was built -in 1832 by- Swan and Hunter, on the Tyne, being the,finest steamer ■ turned'out bv tho firm up to that'time. The same shipbuilders recently completed the giailt Atlantic liner; the Maurctariin, the largest and fastest steamer afloat. In her best day the' Miowera could attain a speed of' 14 knots .in hour. She broke all previous records from Plymouth to. Sydney, via . South Africa, - in 1831.'- The.Warrimoo—.vsister-ship to!tlie-Mio-wera—is ; already running under the' Union Company's flag. Another, magnificent ship now under construction for the Union Company is the Makura, which' is due in Sydney next October. The Mukura, which maybe de-

scribed as an': enlarged M/tr.nna, will , be 7580 tons,'or .1000"-.tons' mora' than; fcho" latter; and\ will bo capable of. a sea spud of 17-jj knots. •
