The vessel is timed to leave Wellington on the 18th for London via Panama. Since the Union Company's Manuka intend the ferry service relieving .the Maori, which is under overhaul at Port < li a liners, she has thoroughly tested the latent capabilities of a few ‘of the comiwny’s smart steaming vessels, says a 4 hristchurch paper. The opportunities for n race are of so rare occurrence that when such an event takes place it arouses no end of enthusiasm, no® cnly amongst the crews of the vessels concerned, but amohgst the watersiders at either port. During the past month ifcinuka nnd Aloheno wc r c the conttetantfi in a race from Lyttelton to 1\ ellington, the former beating her opponent by something like an hour, at the same time establishing a new Accord for herself. On Saturday night the Manuka tackled a still more formidable rival in fhe Moeraki, and again creditably maintained her reputation as a fast and consistent steamer. She left Lyttelton exactly at 8.35 p.m. and the Moeraki three minutes later. The Manuka arrived at Wellington at 8 a.m., and the Moeraki at 8.10 a.m., the Manuka thus getting the verdict by seven minute*. THE SHORTAGE OF LABOUR. The Ngatoro and Earn have been Ijing idle all to-day on account of labour shortage. ' The Storm, in a likewise position, is being worked on one hatch only. THE SYDNEY SERVICE.
