A 5000-ton steamer doing nine knots on a consumption of 18 tons of coal per day, is the remarkable performance claimed for the Brynymor, which is discharging Australian hardwood at Port Chalmers. This steamer, which was built in Glasgow, and is owned In Swansea is on her maiden voyage.* Her chief engineer, Mr A. S. Mallam, is the builders’ guarantee man, and he was on the Aelybryn when, the steamer was there last, year with phosphates.

She there-; fore was yesterday afternoon tendered a concert and presentation -at Column ba Hall in the presence, of a crowded gathering, including, visitors from all parts of the West Const, ns well ns from Canterbury, and the occasion was.: marked by wy genuine- enthusiasm, proving a veritable tribute to Mother: Mary de Pazzi, and a convincing demonstration of the high regard in which she is held by a very wide circle of friends indeed. His lordship, Bishop Brodie made the journey from Christ-' church in order to preside at the celebrations, which to-day will take a purely religious form, when solemn Hi# Mass will be celebrated at St. Patrick's Church, at which the occasional address will be given by the Bishop.
