    3. HBH 1892 Oct 20 WARRIMOO Auckland Wednesday The new inter-colonial service provided by Messrs HUDDART, PARKER, and Co was inaugurated by the arrival of the Warrimoo early this morning from SYDNEY, after a fast passage. She brought 58 passengers for NEW ZEALAND. She leaves again at noon today for South and MELBOURNE. A great deal of interest was manifested here, and the steamer was inspected and admired by a large number of people. It was anticipated that she would break the record between SYDNEY and AUCKLAND, but owing to the completion of a long voyage, and alleged inferiority of the coal, she did not accomplish this. She left SYDNEY on the 15th at 6 30 a.m., and arrived at AUCKLAND at 1.30 a.m. on the 19th, after a passage of 3 days 19 hours.
