Oub Auckland telegrams announce Ihnl tho s.s. Triumph has been successfully dpeked. This mu3t be very gratifying to all who ha7e an earnest interest in the p-os-perity of tho Auckland province. Great credit is due to the owner, Mr G. Praser, for his pluck and enterprise in securing this double " triumph," and we Iparn that ranch nnxiety was experienced while trials were being made to dock her. Had (he proposal of Mr ErringtoD, C.E , been carried out in connection with tho con struclion of the dock, five feet more dep'h over (he sill would have beea obtained, and such vessels as the Triumph, Doric, lonic. ■ atjd others could easily' be docked. This would, cf»course, have also entailed enlargment in length and breadth, but the additional cost would only have amounted to £7000." We learn with some gratification that when the repair/3 about to be eflVcted are made, the Bteamer will meet with the same classification at Lloyd's as when she was launched.
