THE CORONATION'S CALL.

The bookings by the Home steamen leaving .between the,,present date and the end of April are very heavy. Jlcssts. Thos. Cook and' Son, when questioned yesterday by a Dominion - representative, stated that the number of berths nowavailable on steamers due to reach'.London prior to the Coronation (June 22) ia very limited indeed. For instance, there were yesterday only about half a dozen first and the same number of- secondclass berths left on the P. and 0. steam, er Malwa, leaving Sydney on February 11, and all the second-class accommodation on the Macedonia, -leaving Sydney on' February 22,' had been bespoken. The Ruahine, which leaves Wellington for London direct in April, is already a' full ship in tho second class, and is rapidly filling in the first. The last! direct' steamer to leave for London that: will arrive in time for tho Coronation will be the Ruapehu, which sails as late, as May -1. The other "latest/ , are tho', Seydlitz (leaving Sydney on April 22), tho Omrah (leaving Sydney on Slay 5), the Maitai (leaving Auckland for San Francisco on May~ G), the Marama (leaving Sydney for Vancouver on' May B),' tho Arawa (leaving Wellington on April 20), and he Mooltan (leaving Sydney on May G). . The bookings by all these steamers are already very heavy, and there is little doubt that they will all leave with a. full complement of passengers, such a magnet is tho Coronation of King George V proving. :
