Luhrs beat into port on Sunday night. She left Newcastle on the 22nd ultimo, and experienced a succession of west and south-west winds, with very rough weather from the latter quarter, being at o’»e time compelled to heavo-to for six hours. . passed Cape Farewell on Saturday morning, and was becalmed for six hours during that day. Then fell in with a fresh north-west breeze, which brought her to the Heads. She was hauled alongside the wharf yesterday morning, and commenced discharging immediately. ... The steamer Go-Ahead left for Wanganui last night. The Tui also took her departure for Kalkoura and Lyttelton. ... The s.s. Kiwi sailed for Castle Point and Napier yesterday. _ The s.s. Jane Douglas will go round to Evans Bay this morning to have her compasses adjusted, after which she makes a trip to the Heads to give her new boiler a trial. She leaves for Foxton during the evening. The total coat of the new steamer the Matau, which has been obtained for the Clutha River by the Board of Conservators, is over £4OOO. In a report presented to the Board with regard to the steimer, the following paragraph occurs:—"lt Is worthy of remark that the Matau is the first boat introduced ; into these colonies of a construction to which public < attention has been directed during the past few weeks, namely, boats constructed upon the sectional principle. The material is the best mild steel, the hold being longitudinally divided by a steel wall from bow to stern, both halves being again subdivided by six transverse walls of the same material. Thus the hold is divided Into fourteen fireproof and watertight compartments, into or out of which water can be pumped by steam pumps in case of fire 'or leakage. Besides these advantages the mode of construction adopted renders the boat unsinkable, adds much strength to the hull, and permits a greater length of boat—thus facilitating a high rate of speed.” i.’ Quite au exciting race took place in the river this morning between the steamers Hauraki and Tui. The former was a long way ahead of the latter ■' on entering the river, but managed to pass her rival at the turn between Mr Robinson’s and the Rev, J. Duncan's. However, in taking the turn inis’the strait up to the wha»f, the Hauraki managed .to get even with her opponent, and the steamers raced side by side up to the wharf, scarcely a foot of space between them, and their bows so even that scarcely any difference was perceptible. The Tui having inside place went straight into her berth, but the Hauraki made a plucky attempt for the first position, and if she had been in the Inside would have got it.— 4t Manawatu Herald.” September 29th A. special meeting of the Hokitika Harbor Board was held on Saturday afternoon ; to consider the advisability or otherwise of making an opening in the north training waT to all rt w of stranded vessels being launched into the river. The Engineer reported that the cost would he about L 125, and that nothing but • gross negligence would cause any damage to the work* After considcrab’e discussion, it was agreed that the work should be done, and that a charge of L3O should be made on every vessel; using the gap.—“ West Coast Times,” September 25th.
