Slavics.—Comment ing on the mishap to the B.M.S. lonic the New Zealand Times says: —Hitherto the i direct mail service has been carried on ! with a regularity and punctuality during its four years' existence which is almost, if not quite, without parallel. So far as we can recollect, the direct mails have not been a single minute late more than once or twice, a record which hardly auv mail train in the world can beat. H the" average of the four years were worked out, we believe it would be found to be fully two, if not three, day 3 under contract time. Of such a line this colony may well be proud. But the finest possible service cannot be ex pected to go on for ever without a mishap, ! and this has at last befallen.
