Conflicting reports have come to hand in connection with the sailing of tho Century from New Y'ork for Wellington, Brisbane, Sydney, Melbourne, and Adelaide, and for some time the vessel has been advertised as having sailed from New York on October 21. No word had been received by tho local agents, Messrs. G. 11. Scales, Ltd., and as no advice has been received of a definite character, it was doubtful whether sh© had sailed on October 21. 'The fittest Sydney "Shipping List" states, however, that the vessel sailed for Wellington )on November 4, and she should be through the Panama Canal by. now. Tho local. agents advise that ■..j~. ..wi.,l. ahout D'ecombcr ia.J

She has been undergoing repairs in her engine room and more particularly in her boilers for some time.

The Union Company advise that, owing te existing conditions, when the Paloona arrives in Wellington from Melbourne, .via southern ports, sho will withdraw from the Wellington-Melbourne service. No further details were available last evening as to why she' was withdrawing, and it was not ascertainable what boat would replace tho Paloona on the Australian run. BARQUE LAURA FROM AUSTRALIA. Latest news from Australia says that every, effort is being made to got the barue Laura ready for sea as soon as possible. She has-been in dock for overhaul, and it was expected that she would have been ready for sea last Monday. Coptain Sohultze, well known in the Austra-lian-New Zealand trade, is to have command of the Laura, which will probably make tho first voyage in the new owner's interests to New Zealand, via Newcastle. Which Dominion port or ports she will visit has not yet been made known. GOLDEN GATE V. LOUISA CRAIG. What might be looked upon as an ocean race between tho Golden Gate and tho Louisa flraig was completed by the arrival of the Louisa Craig at Lyttelton recently. "Most people consider that tho flyer of tho Stars and Stripes beat the Louisa Craig," remarked the captain to a Christchurch reporter, "but I think my afog book will convince people to the contrary." He -pointed out that the Louisa- ] Craig carried much the larger stretch of canvas of the two, and also. that the Golden Gats had recently been docked, while it was nine months since tho Louis"& Craig was attended to. Tho best day's run by the Louisa Craig, or Raupo to give her her new name, was 213 miles, and tho captain stated that at times he should have been doing 270 miles a day but for the foul condition of his vessel with marine growth. Tlie Golden Gate took 48 days to do the trip to Auckland from San Francisco, but the Raupo only took 48 days' to no the run to Portland Island, which is at least another day's sailing, and the whole trip to Lyttelton occupied 53 days. Under decent conditions the captain of the Kaupo remarked that no could havo done the trip in 10 days less, but tho dirty bottom accounted for moat of tho delay. Captain R. Kennedy is in chargo of the Raupo. ii_ MESS-TABLE GOSSIP. Mr. C. M'lvor has signed on a special service ship as fourth officer. Mr. H. K. Swain hos left the Waihora, on which vessel he occupied the position of purser. Mr. Whitefleld, second officer of the Waihora, has come ashore, and has been .replaced by Mr. Carlson. Captain Perriam is now in charge of the Kiritona, Captain Haraldscm.. having taken charge of the Fanny. The Mapourika arrived at Greymouth shortly after 9 o'clock yesterday morning, and, according to telegraphic advice, received yesterday, was to leave at midnight last night for Wellington, via Westport and Nelson, and is due here on Saturday Tho To Anau left Auckland at 6 p.m. ou Wednesday, and has 591 tens of cargo for Wellington. She calls at Gisborne on the way down, and is due hore on Saturday. The Weka is expected to arrive here next week from New Plymouth, in order to go on tho slip for overhaul. The Weka is a small steam trawler, which was originally a. unit of the Richardson Line, but was sold about two years ago. The Karu arrived at Westport at 8 a.ni. yesterday, and is expected te leave for Wellington this afternoon, being due hero on Sunday.
