WHERE WILL SITE PLY? (By Telcsraph.—Press Association.) Dunedin, May 1. Sir James Mills says lie lias not so fat 1 received the communication from the Auckland Chamber of Commerco with respcct to a fast boat for tho Sydney service, and until that has been considered he is not prepared to make any statements 011 the subject. He leaves Dunedin to-morrow to join the Maitai for San Francisco, and thcnca proceeds to Vancouver and Ottawa, and probably will go on to London. The intercolonial steamer now on tho stocks is' to bo named tho Manngonui (after the mountain at the entrance o£ Tauranga harbour). It will be launched before ho reaches the Old Country, for she is to be finished by September, and ia expected to arrive in New Zealand in tha first week in November. 1 It has not yet been decided who is to bring the Maungonui out, and Sir James Mills says the company lias not so far finally settled as to whether she will be put to the Sydney service alone, or made to take her place in turn with other intercolonial boats that mav run to Melbourne as well as Sydney.
