A "New -.York niessago states that Mr. Jlorrcslioff's now motor-boat Den, during a trial, mado a record run of thirty-two miles in ono hour.' Tho boat all tho time was only under thrccjquartors driving powor. A slip on a largo scalo (reports tho "Otago ■ Paily Times") has occurred at tho sandstono 'cliffs.bqtweon St. Clnir and Black Head, and a considerable area of what was greon pasture is now a chaßm yawning for tno foot of the unwary. Tho bcach, roachcd by means of tho late Mr; Oargill's "tunnol," is said to IiOTO quito changed' its character owing to somo hundred tons at sand having boon scooped away and carried olstnrlisro by tho soa. Names carvcd oil the cliffsido by pcoplo standing on tho sands aro now far up out of roach. A rather interesting feature in ono of tho branch caves is a baulk of timber and a spar from a sailing ship immovably jammed i.by. the tido rn a long fissure in the roof.
