The U.S.S. jOo.’s Monowai arrives from soiuii early to-morrow morning, after her annual overhaul. She proceeds on to Auckland later. The Tuatea leaves the wharf at 6 a.m. and 9.30 a.m. The (J.S.S. Co.’s Talune ar rives irom Auckland to-morrow afternoon, and sails during the evening, for southern ports. The Tuatea leaves the wharf on arrival and at 7 p.m. The Shaw, Savill and Albion Co.’s Aotea arrived here yesterday afternoon to load 20,000 frozen carcases; 100 bales of wool, and 150 casks of tallow And polts. She is timed to sail tomorrow for Wellington. The U.S.S. Co.’s Flora is expected hero on Friday from south, and on discharging will take up her. usual running between Auckland and Coast ports. ■ The Canterbury Shipping Co.’s Rippie is expected here during the week from south with a cargo of produce. The Now Zealand Shipping Company’s Oran is due. from Napier on Thursday morning to load approximately 1000 bales of wool, and a quantity of tallow. The Orari, a 10,600ton vessel, is a sister steamer to tho Otaki. This will be her first visit to Gisborne. The ketch Coronation left last evening for Tairua, via Tologa Bay. The harquentine Pelotas arrived in the roadstead yesterday morning from Newcastle, with 325 tons of coal for ✓-■■■■ the Gisborne Sheepfarmers’ Company. "Captain H. E. Lane is in charge of the Pelotas, having taken over command . from Captain Cozens. The vessel left her loading port on June 10th, in company with the barque -Aldebaran which was sailing for Auckland. The Pelotas proved the smarter vessel, and the boats soon parted company. East Cape was passed nine, days out, light fair westerly winds being experienced, . with occasional strong gusts. A little trouble was met with in rounding the Cape, but from there on favorable winds were again experienced, and the vessel eventually arrived off the Bay about 6 o’clock last evening, after being eleven days out. Adverse winds, however, prevailed in the Bay, and the barquentino was unable to beat in until yesterday morning. The medical officer was conveyed out in the Harbor Board’s launch yesterday morning, and the crew were all passed. Owing to the vessel drawing 12ft, it was deemed advisable to lighten her, and she was therefore lightered to lift 6in. She was brought alongside the wharf last night. Captain Lane also reports that when ho left Newcastle, the barque Empreza and the barquentino Pendle Hill were timed to leave at an early date for Gisborne. In last week’s Gazette notice is given that a hell buoy, painted black,' has been placed one cable’s length N.N.W. of tho black buoy at entrance to Tauranga Harbor. Vessels must bo careful to keep in channel when abreast of shoal between the bell buoy and Stony Point beacon. The Olympic—one of the 45,000 tons steamers being constructed for the White Star Line —is gradually taking shape at Belfast, but it will be some fjmo yet before she is ready to launch. Huge*gantries had to be specially erected in connection with her construction in view of her unexampled dimensions. Tho New Zealand Shipping Company’s steamer Rimutaka took the following cargo from Lyttelton for Homo ports:—lslß bales wool, 56 bales skins, 35 casks tallow, 2650 sacks wheat, 3901 sacks oats, 634 sacks heaps, 632 sacks peas, 817 crates cheese, 140 casks pelts, 194 casks oleo, 81 packages sundries, 82,977 carcases mutton. The Cunard Company has published figures showing the comparative speeds of the Lusitania and the Mauretania, * . and of tho best performances by runners, oarsmen, and horses. Both liners Lave crossed tho Atlantic at a speed of over 25 nautical miles, or 29 i land miles, per hour. This is equivalent to covering 100yds in 6.95. Tho shortest ximo on record in which a man has run 100yds is 9.65. Similarly tho Cunard liners travel in 2m. 2s. a distance of on© mile, tho “record” time for a man running this distance is 4m. 12Js., and for a horse trotting 2m. 16 4-ss. The Vessels cover in Bm. 38s. a distance equivalent to tho University boat race course (4J miles); the fastest boat race time is 18m. 475. The fastest Derby winner, however, would beat the Cunard boats over a distance the length of the Derby course (1 mile 4 furlongs, 29vds), the times being: Horse, 2m. 36 4-55.; ship, 3m. ss. The record tune quoted in comparison with those of the liners are for short distances, tho Lusitania and Mauretania, however, maintain their high .speed for the whole 1 voyage of about 3000 miles.
