Should sufficient rolling, stock be available, the New Zealand Shipping Company’s Remuora will leavo to-night for Bluff, to commence Homeward loading. Th© vessel will revisit Lyttelton l#er. The Shaw, Savin and Albion Company’s finer Matatua arrived at London on Thurs-

iay morning, last. The vessel had on board * big cargo of wool and frozen meat from New Zealand.

, After having loaded a big cargo of frozen neat, tvool, cheese andf other lines, the Shaw, Bavill “and Albion Company's-, liner Athenic left port lost evening for ‘Wellington, to complete coaling and loading. The New Zealand Shipping Company’s liner Rimutaka, from London, via Brisbane,* 1 Is to leave Dunedin to-day for Lyttelton, ind should roach here to-morrow. The vessel has about 600 tons of cargo to land at ihis port. Owing to having been delayed by shortage rf rolling stock tho Defender, for Wellington, Xarakohe and Hokitika, and the Arapawa, for Wellington and Patea, were unable to leave yesterday, but should get away about noon to-day. e The auxiliary schooner Huia is expected to ■scmplete loading , her cargo of produce to!ay, and will sail tor Kaipara. The Eunice is also ready for sea, and Bhould get away 1 to-'dav for Havelock. ", Mr R. W. Bcastoad has poined the Monowai as aesistant purser. \ The Breeze is due back from Wellington to-day, with a consignment of sheep. She Is expected to leave later for southern ports. Captain Jarvis, late chief officer * of the Dorset, who has come to New Zealand to take charge of the Sussex, arrived at Wellington on Wednesday. The Federal-Houider-Shire Line steamer Sussex is due at Wellington to-morrow from Picton for Homeward loading. On Wednesday tho vessel will loave that port for Timant ana Lyttelton. The Sussex i 3 due here about April 20, and three days later will sail for Avonmouth. Mr Ellison has joined the To Anau as third officer, in place of Mr J. Stewart, who transferred to the Kotuku as second officer. The steamer Courtfield is to load at New York on behalf of the United Tyser Line, and will sail on April 8 for Wellington, via Melbourne, Sydney and Auckland. She will bo followed by tho same company’s steamer Star of Australia, sailing on May 22'for New Zealand, via Australia. The Tyser iiner Indrabarah, which arrived *t Wellington on Friday from London via Australian ports, Auckland and Napier, had particularly rough weather on her trip out !rom Home. She left London on January 23 with close upon 13,000 tons of cargo on board. Within a day’s steam of Melbourne ihe Indrabarah ran info a terrific storm of ryclonic nature. A high head soa was runaing, huge waves, breaking over the vessel fore and aft, at times reaching as high as the bridge. The storm raged for twenty-four hours, tand the vessel was hove-to for eleven hours. The Indrabarah had a fine trip from Sydney to Auckland, and her average speed from London was 12.1 knots. Captain A. H. Smith is in command, and his officers nre: —Chief, Mr C. F. Mel ling: second, Mr H. Manning; third. Ml* H. Conby; fourth, Mr W. Hill- Mr A. L. Morris is chief engineer. Mr W. Jackson second, and Mr P. Dad swill third. Mr J. Henderson fourth, Mr W. Richards fifth; Mr H, H. Ball is chief refrigerator, and Mr W. Stewart second. What must have been a- closely contested tnd exciting race occurred over a course of nearlv 130 miles between two barques, which arrived at Melbourne simultaneously late on a recent Friday night. The vessels m question were the Louisa Craig, from Whangarei, and the Joseph Craig, from Kaipara. The barque? sighted each other off Deal Island (Kent Group), which was exactly 146 miles

from their desrtina-tion —Melbourne. The conditions were ideal for an ocean race, and both vessels crowded on the canvas. Special interest in the-event lay in the fact that for some time the Joseph Craig has disputed the claim ci tho Ix>uina Craig lo bs the foster of the two. When the race commenced the Louisa Craig had a lead of threo mi*es. This vessel also probably had the advantage in tho weights. She was only carrying 570,000 feet of white pine, whilst the Joseph Ciaig had aboard GOO,oooft of kauri and white jine. During the early part of the race the -ucnisa Craig seemsd to be holding her own, but as soon as the Promontory was passed it was seen that the Joseph Craig was gradually wiping off tho deficiency. The time of entry at Port. Phillip Heads was given at 4.40 p.m. for both barques.- At. that stage the Louisa Craig had still a slight advantage. Bowling up tho bay in front of a stiff south-easterly breeze, tho Joseph Craig finally drew level with tho. Louisa Craig. Then the struggle commenced in earnest, and the two captains kept their crows busy in getting..tile last ounce cut of their respective vessels. However, tho Joseph Crolg was not to be denied, and inch by inch her bowsprit crop out m front of thnt of the Louisa Craig. Finally, when the winning Gellibrond nght —wan passed, *hc verdict was: »* on by a length,”
