Chilled Beef Cargo— The Blue Star Line steamer Avclona Star, which sailed for London on Saturday afternoon, took tho second shipmen of chilled beef from Auckland for England. The vessel has on board over 2000 carcases of chilled beef, about 700 more carcases than were despatched by the Sultan Star, which left Auckland for London on January 12. A further shipment of chilled beef will be despatched from Auckland by tho Tuscan Star, which is due to arrive at Napier on February 10. Physical Perfection. The heritage of hard work is winning the Ngapnhi many compliments from the Southern tribes in camp at Waitangi. For the moat part the tribesmen of the North, have engaged in more arduous manual labour bushfelling and such like occupations whereas in other localities, the way of the Native, perhaps, has been less strenuous. “When your men strip for the haka,” commented one of the visitors yesterday, “they look as though they have been in a gymnasim all their lives. ’ They are a ball of muscle.” Appeal Of Religion. That religion is a very real power with the Maori was shown by the reverent observance of Sunday at Waitangi. The church bells sounded the call to worship before seven o’clock, and the number wishful of attending tho Anglican service was too great for tho largest marquee, and so the mnrao ground, which for days had been, the stage for the revival of agoold pageantry, was chosen for tho worship of the Universal Bod. Canon Karitane, of Whangarei, was the preacher. An early morning Roman Catholic service was also held. Particulars of train arrangements and fares in connection with the Royal A. and P. Show at Auckland on February 8, 0 and 10, are advertised in this issue.
