The Queen of the Pacific, the fastest
finest and best ship that has vet piled
the waters of the North Pacific Ocean,
has now almost completed the sixth
month OF her service ON the Victoria
and Puget Sound route, ana brief re-
oapitulation of her remarkable trips
during that period will be in order. She
has made, time and again, better runs
than any other ship that ever was on
the route. We have not the complete
record of her first two trips up the
coast. but we have the exect time, which
was 6716 hours to Seattle on one and
ia the other, they being her two best
runs, with four hours detention at Vic.
toria the first and seven hours the Sec
ond, with shorter detentions at Port
townsend. The best run the Queen
ever made, however, was from Astoria
to San Francisco, during which she
averaged, from dock to dock, 1874 miles
an hour. Her average time from San
Francisco to Victoria has been 63 hours,
10 minutes and Is seconds, and her aver
