There are on board the Union Company's now steamer Tahiti 80 ealoon and 50 steerage passengers for New Zealand. The vessel left Sydney for Wellington at 2 p.m. on Monday, and. seeing that sho is said to bo gifted with a turn of speed of something like 18 knots, thero is every reason to bolievo that the vessel should make port on Thursday evening. On Fri- ■ day at 5 p.m. the Tahiti continues her journey to San Francisco, via way ports. NEW YORK TO WELLINGTON. The local agents for the American-Aus-tralian line of steamers have been advised that the chartered steamer Roscrio. ■ Jill be the next vessel to leave New York for Melbourne, Sydney, Auckland, Wellington.

THE SHIP QTJEKN ELIZABETH. Something like a record is to be credited to the British-owned skip Queen Elizabeth, which is 56 days out bound to Wellington and Sydney from New York with a big consignment of case oil. The record ifi associated with her arrival and dcrmrtures end her engagements" to the Vacuum Oil Company. It teems that for three years in succession she has lert Great. Britain about the same date, reaching New York each year about the 6ame time. On the three occasions she has loaded case oil for the Commonwealth, and was dispatched from New York during the month of October on each occasion. In 1909 she discharged at Melbourne, arriving there on January 17. and the following year discharged at Sydney, which port she arrived at on January 15. Shipping identities are, therefore watching the present voyago with more than jirdlnary Merest tor. a. neat £eat oj resu-

lnrity will be accomplished should the ship reach Sydney in January, 1912. That she will do bo is unlikely, for Uio call to be made at Wellington and the time chc will take to discharge there makes it almost an impossibility for the voyago to be accomplished in the time. Mr. F. T. Fisher, late chief officer of tho Wukatipu, ban joined the Tofua in a similar capacity in place nf Mr. J. W. M'KciVio, who has resigned from the Union Company's service. Mr. 11. Longmore, second, ollicer of the Tofua, is to join the Tahiti as second officer. Mr, 0. K. Lcighton, assistant purser of the Mahcno, has joined tho Squall as acting-purser in place of Mr. J. 11. Livick, who ib ashore on sick leave. About the end of this week tho Union steamer Karori is to load timber at Greymouth for Melbourne and Sydney. Flora, R.s., Bhould arrive at Wellington from Wcslport early this morning. It is anticipated thai she will sail for Greymouth this evening. Tho Korotuiko left Port for Westport, Melbourne, and Fromantlo last evening. At 1 p.m. yesterday the Shaw-Savill steamer Paknha left Timaru for Wellington. She is due in port this afternoon, and will continue load's? too until about Saturday next. 'J'lie Pakeha proceeds thence to the Bluff, Port Chalmers, and Ly Ipi ton, leaving the last-named port unally for London about December SO. Produce-laden, the ketch Lizzio Taylor left-Timaru for Wellington at 6.30 am yesterday. Given line weather she should uiow up hero about to-morrow, morning. Captain Jacknoi', master of fee Patea Shipping Company's Kapuni, is to have command of the new steamer Hawcra. and leaves for Auckland in about a fortnight's time. The Rosamond is duo at Wellington from Onehunga and New Plymouth this morning..' Sim will be dispatched for Picton, nelson, New Plymouth, and Onehunga at midnight. b On account of the Arahura arriving at "OS/port ami Grcymouth during the Christmas and New Year holidays, no cargo will be received for those two ports on December 23 and 30. Due at Sydney from London to-morrow, u shl!X*.avlll5 hl !X*. avlll stcl »mcr Mntatua has on hoard 500 immigrants for the New South n ales port. She subsequently visits Dunedin, Lytteltop, and Nelson. Jt J'- W; Miiir, who has been acting-mastcr of tho Ngaloro, rejoined thoNgahcre as chief omccr yesterday. Mr. E. Gibson, second officer of tho Ngahere, has come ashore here. Captain Gibson has Tcsumed command of the Mana. vice Captain M'lntof-h, who 16 away on holiday leave. At midnight the steamer Kini was to have left Grcymouth for Wellington and Napier with part cargo of coal for each port. Yesterday the Northern Steamship Company s steamer Rarawa was placed on the Wellington Patent Slip for cleaning and painting She left for New Plymouth and Onehunga last evening. As was tho caso last Thursday thcrs will be no work done on tho Wellington wharves between tho hours of noon and Z p.m. to-morrow (second ballot day). From Picton the Whakatane proceeds to Nelson, Waitara, Wanganui, Napier, Wellington, and Lyttelton. December 30 is the date on which tho vessel is expected to leave the southern port for London. .
