From Our Own Correspondent.
Papeete, Sept. 3.
A USEFUL innovation for Tahiti is the new establishment known as the Oceanic Market, which opened recently opposite the Banque de ITndo Chine in Papeete.
Housewives who are averse to leaving their beds at the first streak of dawn in order to make the day’s purchases of fresh provisions may now obtain supplies from the Oceanic at any hour of the day or night. There is also an immediately avail able supply of delicacies not usually ob tainable except by special order, such as poultry, fresh milk, pastry, imported game birds, and sausages. Ice is delivered daily to regular clients.
Run in conjunction with the Oceanic Market is the “Taverne,” which comprises a coffee shop, grill room, ice cream parlor, and general refreshment catering. The refrigerating equipment for this establish ment is operated by electricity, and pro vides storage space consisting of three chambers, each of 100 cubic metres capacity.
On a world cruise, the N.Z. yacht Te Rapunga arrived at Rarotonga, Cook Is., early in October.
