The direct Sydney boat, Mokoia, left Sydney at three o’clock last Saturday. She is due hero about midday to-morrow. The Star of Australia is due to sail for Lyttelton on Thursday next. The scow Moan a, in the stream, has a Toad of 160 tons of iron rails for Gisborne. I The To Anau took up to Auckland yesterday, for transhipment to San Francisco. , 180 boles of flax. ; The Opawa came off the slip yesterday, | and is now lying at the Woo! Jetty, in I order to have certain repairs made. I The Pania, which followed the Opawa on the slip, is expected to bo ready to sail this evening. She is timed to sail at 8 -p.m. to-day for Blenheim. : \ The contest which has teen going on for the last few years between British and German steamship companies for the possession of the larg-T and swiftest ocean steamer has additional interest given to it by the announcement that the owners of . The White Star lino have placed an order with Messrs Harland and Wolff for an Atlantic liner 3000 tons larger that the Oceanic. As the tonnage of the Oceanic is 17.350, this means that the new steamer 1 will exceed 20,000 tons. The largest Ger- ■ man-steamer is the Deutschland, of 16,000 Tons, or about 1350 tons less than the’ Oceanic, and there is a German mail steamer now building at the Vulcan Shipbuilding Yards, Stetrin, of 19.500 tons. To he entred the Kaiser Wilhelm IT. So That with its new steamer the White jStnr line will maintain the lead in tonnag'- which it has held since the launch of the Oceanic in January. 1898. If does not appear, however, that the White Star lino means to contest the supremacy in ocean speed with the Gewmans. Two German ocean steamers, the Kaiser Wilhelm der Grosse and the Deutschland, have a -higher record of speed for their heat Atlantic vovnges than anv steamer under the British flag, A third German ocean racer, the Kronprinz Wilhelm, will make her first run this autumn, and is meant to heat the Deutschland if she can: and the Kaiser ijWi’helrn IT. is to follow early next year. If British ship-owners mean to contest the first place for sneed on the Atlantic they iwill have to hnild a steamer equal to more than 24 knots an hour. The Petone is to go pn the patent slip to-day for cleaning and parpting. . She will sail for Greymonth to-morrow afternoon. ' j Cable advice has been received hv the local agents of the Shaw. SayilLand Albion Company that the Gothic, which left Wellington on February 2nd. arrived at Plymouth last Friday afternoon, i The troopship of the ’Seventh Contingent, Gulf of Tarranto, is coming to the agency of Messrs W. M. Bahn’atyne and Co. ■ The Pareora, due to-day from Lyttelton. is bringing a c/Uantitv- ofi .coal for the Knight Errant. The Pareora will-go on ; the slip for a cleaning and is duo to sail for Gre-monHi on Thursday. . The Knight Errant is probably the largest cargo-'carrier which has visited this port. She can ' carry 11 KbOTons dead weight Her ‘ measurements are. —sosft. over all, 57.2 ft beam and 31.9 ft deep. She is built hv C. Connall and Go., of Glasgow, and is three years'old this month.
