The Union Steamship Company have received advices that the second boat, the Te Anau, will be completed during August Jhia is somewhat earlier than was anticipated It was not intended that she should follow the Rotomahana so Bpeedily, but the Company nave thought it advisable to press forward her construction, so that they may be able to provide ample facilities for the large increase of passenger traffic during the summer months which is expected from the Sydney Exhibition and the increase of trade. The Teasel will be somewhat smaller than the Kotomahana, the Te Anau's dimensions being —length, 270ft. ; beam, 34ft. ; depth, 25ft ; 350 horse-power nominal, and she is expected to average thirteen knots easily. Her passenger accommodation will be similar to that of the other boats of the line, and she will carry 100 saloon. Her tonnage will be about the same as the Wakatipu. The company have also sent forward an order for a i?£ 1 10^ Ce the Taa P°' She is supposed t ™ ? M i 1 , 0n 1 S> 1 30ft 22ft. deep, with a speed of 12£ knots.
