OUR DREADNOUGHT

THE TLTANEKAI OUT OF ACTION. By Telegraph—Press Association. Wellington, Monday. Owing to a delay in cable mending operations in Cook Strait, caused through the heavy weather, it is thought that the Government steamer Tutanekai will not be available for tendering purposes in connection with the visit of the New Zealand to Akaroa on Saturday next. If the weather clears, the steamer may effect the repairs, unship the cable gear, and get down to Akaroa in time. DUNEDIN'S YOUNGSTERS. HOSPITABLE CHRISTCHURCH. Christchurch, L»st Night. The Dunedin children, 1250 altogether, who are coming to Christchurch to see the New Zealand, arrived tonight, and were distributed among the many hosts who offered homes. A number of citizens were disappointed, for there were more hosts than were required. There was a great scene at the railway station, when the trains arrived, but the work of distributing the children was carried out promptly and completely. The children will be taken through to Lyttelton to see the ship to-morrow morning, and on the return will lunch at the Technical College. They will then be token for a tramway trip.tosSew Brighton, and afterwards wiH be entertained at Hayward's, pictures. They have also been granted the free use of the municipal tepid baths later in the afternoon. To-day the ship was visited by 17820 people.
