the blu satisfies no one, and since one-half of its

The San Francisco Times says:
.sThis city is the terminus Of one Of
the most remarkable nautical
events on record. Two first class
ships-the Governor Morton and
the Prima Donna-sailed together
from the port of New York On the
i4th of February. They were
towed outside Sandy Hook side by
side. SO near to each other that
conversation was maintained by the
two commanders. Large sums
we're wagercd by the friends of these
ships, on their respective favorite
reaching this port first. The rae,
ing vessels crossed the equator in
the Atlantic on the same day, al
though not IN the same longitude.
They entered the Straits Ollie
Marie the same day, and came out
of thcm the same day. They
crossed the equator ia the Pacific
on the same day and in snmc lougi'
tude. Both ships arrived at this
pert on the same day; within three
hours of each other, after a race Of
sixteen thousand miles. These
facts demonstrate the accuracy
that has been attained in the science
of navigation, and also proves the
reliance which may be placed upon
the wind and current charts pre-.
pared under the direction of Mr..
Maury."
