NEW TYPE OF" \VARS2IP. i An entirely new type of warship is about to be laid down by the British Admiralty, as the result of protracted experiments aud investigations by the Admiralty experts in conjunction with the leading alrmament ami shipbuilding firms al Clydebank, Barrow, Newcastle and Sheffield. Th« new vessels will J combine some of the bc.t qualities of tile modern battleship and the modern cruiser, and it is understood that worl< will be commenced on them before the. end of the fivineisl ywir. Two vessel? will be laid down, and their completion will establish a record in warship building. Each vessel will carry betwfen 050 and 1000 men, and the tonnjge will le about 27.300. A special feature is to e made of the guns. P. AND O. COMPANY. A singular fact in connection with the P. ar.d O. Company's passenger trad? was alluded to by the chairman. Sir Thomas Sutherland, in his speech at the recent anmSli meeting of the company. He referred to the groat change in the social habits of the passengers in the direction of temperance. "I need hardly toll you," he said, "that wo carry far more passengers than we carried ten years ago. Y u will probably tie surprised t, hear that,, notwithstanding the increased number of our passengers our consumption of wine, beer and spirits has fallen in these ten years by 50 cent" Tl'ere were only two exceptions to that decline, added the chairman. There was an increase in the consumption of mineral waters, ajia there was an increase in the consumption of stout, a beverage totally unknown aboard ship in the tropics until a few years ago. "We may now, I suppose, rejoice," said Sir Thomas, "in the change which has taken place in the habits of travellers as being Ijf greati nterest to the rising 'generation, who will doubtless escnno the paternal gout and many other ills that the flesh is heir to." Spealdng of the running ot <the P. and O. Ijoats to Auckland, Sir Thomas described the new departure as "a tentative and experimental extension of certain voyasres from Australia to New Zealand which I venture to hope will at alf events he a 'popular movement in New Zealand."
