zealandla Bulges with Humanity.
| The Canadian.Australian liner Zea-
landia arrived from Vancouver short
ly before four o'clock yesterday after
noon and at $50 o'clock departed for
/ Sydney
The zealandia fairly bulged with
passengers and cargo. Twenty-four
of the passengers stopped off at Ho-
nolulu and their places were taken
by others booking at this port. Every
accommodation in cabin, second class
and steerage was taken when the
steamer sailed for the South Seas
last night.
The holds were also filled with a
miscellaneous cargo
There is evidently going to be
something doing in the line of sports
in Australia this winter, or summer,
as it is down there, for aboard he
zealandia are the American tennis
champions, Beals Wright, Maurice
Mclaughlin and w. A. Larned, who
are scheduled to play several match
games in Australia. Prize fighting
has not yet been killed in Australia,
but is, on the contrary, very much
alive, and the names of several we'll
known fighters are found on the Yea.

entrances, en- route from ocean TO

e draft will be able to penetrate the
shallow roadsteads and rivers which
q a deep draft steamer can not enter

enormous traffic for the merchants OF
