Maun- - ganui, which has replaced the Marama in ■■ the San Francisco service, arrived at Wellingtou on Monday. Tho Maunganui has . been recently converted from a coal-burning vessel into an oil-bunkered steamer, and on her voyage from Sydney averaged 13J knots •. on about 65 tone of oil fuel per day. In ' the last part of tho journey she. covered 817 ' miles in 21 hours, the best day’s run, and '' wttqn. nearing Wellignton touched on 16 ■ knots am hour. This was done with only 5 iwo-thiids of the total boiler capacity, so “tall out" the Maunganui may be expected , to establish a reputation as a fast boat. J£f F. Lockhart (chief engfteer) stated that h the engines had been working satisfactorily f y-i in feet they had nrprsaod expectations.

ROMEO PROM !OT YORK. Th© EUennsn-Holl Line steamer Romeo, 6157 tana, Captain W. D. M'Donald, arrived at Auckland from New York on Saturday afternoon. She left New York on May 80, and cleared Panama on June 11. Fine weather was experienced until the vessel was three days from Auckland. She then encountered a violent south-east pile with high ecas. She was severely buffeted by tho gale, which reduced her speed to about five knots. She shipped a considerable amount of water on board, but sustained no damage. The Romeo has abont 6000 tons of cargo on board, including a quantity of ease oil and general merchandise. She has also a steam shovel for Wellington, its total weight being about 10 tons. Of the general cargo 000 tons is for Aucklaad. as well os a quantity of tho case oil, which is optional. She will continue discharge at Wellington, Lyttelton, Dunedin, and Melbourne. Messrs Turnbull, Martin, and Co., tho local agents, advise that she has about 710 tons of general cargo for discharge here. EXPEDITIOUS DRY-DOCKING. The Cunard steamer Port Chalmers, which, after taking in some butter, sailed yesterday afternoon for Lyttelton, was accorded remarkable despatch while in drydock at Port Chalmers. In a day and ahalf her hull was scrubbed and painted. This is regarded as touching the record mark for despatch for oversea steamers. The ship’s officers said it was a first class iob. This is another notch in tho stick for docking despatch at Port Chalmers. The Port Chalmers does the bulk of her loading at North Island ports, finishing np at Wellington. A cablegram advises that the Darnholme, from Melbourne to the United Kingdom, has passed Gibraltar.
