It is really a treat In these days of cheap slop-built boats to see one with the strength, stylo, and finish combined of the one which wo were shown on Saturday. Mr. Hobart is well know* on the West Coast, where ho supplied nearly all the eoaiters trading there with boats, and also several large orders from different parts of the

colony. Wellington seafaring men have long felt the want of a good boatbuildcr who could give them a serviceable boat at a reasonable price.
