In. Australia, in addition to haying a fleet" of passenger steamers, the well-known Melbourne organisation has also some useful cargo carriers.

Somo time ago the fino: steamer TJlimaroa was built to the order of tho Huddart, Parker Oompany.~ She has proved herself a vessel well fitted for tho ■ intercolonial passenger trade, and is ÜBuallv in heavy domand by the travelling public.. At. first, working under unfavourable conditions, she did not come up to expectations as ■far as the' public wore concerned.: However, after a slow trip_or two from; Sydney, she arrived ahead of time one:-Wednesday morning, and since then has easily maintained a leading position among the ."regulars." Bad coal was said to be the cause of her slow steaming, on her initial trips. Tho trvellinji public will bo interested to know 'that the company now contemplate building another new 6000-ton passenger steamer, somewhat similar to the TJlimaroa, for tho intercolonial trade. The building of another ■harbour-excursion steamer somewhat resembling tho well-known paddlo etcamer Hvgoia at ilel■bonrnq is also contemplated. , Tho Hygeia, a vessel of 987 tons, is admitted to be the finest excursion vessel of her type in this part of tho world.
