The general meeting of the Blerchant Service Guild, which was held at Wellington on April 22, was presided over by Captain P S Peterson.'.- In the annual report It Is stated that the examinations' under which candidates In England are examined for masters' and mates’ certificates have recently been reviewed, and recommendations made which no doubt will be followed by the New Zealand Government. Qualifying sea service for second mate will not bo altered, but a candidate must be at least 20 years of age. A first mate must be at least 215 years of age. and must have served IS months as watch-keeping officer on foreign-going articles whilst holding a second mate certificate. A candidate for master must bo not less than 23 years of age. The square rigged certificates are practically done away with but if a candidate wishes to sit for the examination and passes, an endorsement will be made on tho certificate to that effect Although the money Is authorised to Install radio beacons at Lyttelton and Wellington, nothing has yet been done. The Blarlne Department Is disappointed with the few ships that have been fitted with direction finders, and, therefore is In no hurry. Tho Government !s building a new vessel to replace the Tutanekal. and It Is proposed to have this vessel fitted with a fathom meter. Although the’ Admiralty might not accept any surveys mane with this Instrument, members of the seafaring nrofes-

slon will place a good deal o I reliance on any soundings given by Captain Bollons, who, no doubt, will be in charge of this vessel, and will be sure to err on the sate side. Since the last annual meeting of the guild an effort had been made to have the Mercantile Marine bell dedicated before it left London, with the Prince of Wales present, but It was very doubtful whether this would eventuate. The following committee was elected for the ensuing year President, Captain P. S. Peterson; vice-president. Captain B. B. Irwin; Captains A. H. Prosser, C. Eiders, A. S. Dalglelsh, Ross Clark, W. A. Wlldman, Jun., A. P. Gibson, J. J. Smith, J. Hawick, and H. W. Hargreaves; Messrs F. J. Callan, T. E. Sevan, D. M'Leish, G. Kent, N. N.,Bonnottl, C. Sharpe, A. G. Christie, J. Leonard, E. H.
