The present strike among the firemen of thei Union s.s. Company has compelled the employment - of a most miscellaneous and varied selection of* substitutes—even lawyers’ clerks being among tbe | present stokers. This throws considerable addi-l tional care and responsibility upon the engineers, j who are obliged to see personally that ti»c»ir raw s recruits do not put water in the furnace' and coals in the boiler.—‘Post.’ ,

Whether or not (remarks the * Post*) any race took place between the Tui and Stormhird, appears to be a moot point, bat at any rate there is no doubt that the Tui proved herself much the faster of the two. She left th* wharf considerably in advance of her rival, but when about half-way to the Heads, turned back and steamed round the Stormbird’s stern, then pushed ahead, crossed her b° ws » a pd finally went forward, leaving her fully hatf'a*™!!® astern on reaching the Heads. The Tni has herself a very smart little boat, and does great credit both toner builder and her owner. In fairness to the Stormhird, it should be mentioned that her officers and crew disclaimed all idea of racing, and asserted that they had express orders not to attempt any trial of speed. The day before the Tui had beaten the Wallace.

The schooner Jane Anderson, with a cargo of timber from Stewart’s Island, arrived this morning, and passed the port with a light N.E, breeze to Dunedin.
