The distinct advance in tlm number of passenger bookings from New Zealand to Great Britain, particularly in the Shaw, Savill and Albion Line ami the New Zealand Shipping Company, seems to he an indication that these enterprising companies knew what the New Zealander wanted, when they introduced the tourist third class bn the long route. It is conspicuous, however, that the best and highest-priced cabins in the class are those which are booked up first, suggesting that the majority of passengers would normally be first class.
