A large number of New Zealand passengers now avail themselves of the connection at Suva with tho Vancouver steamers. Tho ship Canterbury is taking in wool and ballast at Dunedin. Subsequentlysho will sail for Wellington, and finish her loading at this port for 'London. Tho Lyttelton Harbour Board’s dredge Manchester has resumed work after an extensive overhaul. Sho has now been fitted with wire-rope ladder-lifting gear, an improvement to prevent the surging and jar caused by the use of the chain lift. Tho wire-rope system is comparatively new, being first used in 1900 on the dredge La Puissante, tho largest dredge then afloat, built to tho order of tho Suez Canal authorites. Tho ladder of tho Manchester, when tho buckets are empty, weighs 12!) tons. The Union Company is in receipt of advice from tho Canadian-Pacific Railway Company that it is intended between May and October to run, in addition to the ordinary service, an extra train across the continent. This special train will leave Vancouver three times a week, aud run to the Atlantic in less than four days, thus making tho fastest trip across America Tho scow Southern Isle has been chartered to load at Lyttelton for Wellington.
