We understand that it is the intension of the shipping companies to continue the tri-weekly running of the Rarawa during the month of February, It had originally been the intention ;.o run the Rarawa tri-weekly only during tii? holiday period, but the increased traffic still continues, showing that the better connection is appreciated 'by the travelling public, many of whom utilise the boat in preference to the Main Trunk railway. There is little doubt thr-t so long as the trade warrants it the present service wifl be maintained. THE RIMU.
