I “Tho British Post Office has had I difficulty for some time past in determining the best route lor the dispatch lof mails to New Zealand,” states the annual report of the Post and telegraph Department. “Of late the Suer, route has been largely availed of. for the reason that close connections with Pacific steanidrs have been rendered difficult by the fact that these steamers have been unable to maintain a regular time-table. The Panama route has also been used where it «'rs thought that it would provide a quicker dispatch. It is anticipated, however, that the Vancouver ami San Francisco steamers will shortly be in a position to adhere strictly to timetable. and the British Post Office should then l>o able to take advantage of Atlantic steamers, which together with railways of the Continent of America. will provide close connection with the Pacific steamers. The matter of selecting the quickest route is one that has lieen given much consideration by the 1-ondim Post Office.”
