Fast Clipper Time.
New YORK, November 2d.-The remark
able time made by two clippers from
Liverpool to New York is the occasion of
much comment in shipping quarters. The
ship Albert q. Ropes. commanded by Cap
tain Rivers. left Liverpool about noon
t)ptnhpr 10Th and A,,n hp,rr iat : Il,
Commodore T. II. Allen followed the
Ropes. The two ships lost sight of each
other during the night, but each Captain
knew the other was not far away, and each
watched the trim Of his canvas and the
course by compass in 4 way that would
prevent the loss of an inch of advantage
For iorty-eight hours neither saw The
other, but at the end Of that time Captain
Rivers saw the sky-sailS Of the Allen
looming astern. The wind was light and
in the east, and the Allen continued to
loom up. The men on the Allen recog-
nized their opponent ahead, but with such
light air the race was aggralatiHg. The
Allen craWled up, but during the dav.
which was Monday, and for nearly six
days the two ships watched each other,
having the whole ocean to themselves.
They lost sight of each other at Georges
Bank, and the Ropes touched the dock
here in exactly eighteen days and twelve
hours, beating the Allen by four hours
only. Your correspondent saw Captain
Rivers this morning lie said: Il don't
think we deserve any particular credit for
beating the Allen, fer the Ropes Is much
the faster clippeTsInd can sail away from
the Allen easily, but the record OF the
Ropes toE the round trip beats
anything before made in tie dip
per trade. We handled in all L 500 tons
OF cargo, made the trip from New York to
San Francisco in 107 days; thence 10
Liverpool in l05 days and thence TO New
York in Is days, the whole trip occupying
ten months and five days

Poc agreed to pay union prices but refused
TO sign Il contract to employ only union
members. The services OF General Carr,
Republican candidate for Licutenant-Gov.

justment of differences. The printers were
reluctant to take Whitelaw Reds verbal
agreement to pay union prices, charging
that he had broken similar verbal pledges
before An excited meeting was held in
ClarcEdol Hall yesterday, at which be-
tween two and three thousand printers
Were present. The report of the Typo

printers demanded the unconditional sur
render of tie Tribune to the unions ulti-
matum, and that sReid sign an agreement
10 pay the union scale and discharge his
nau-anion men. The printers appear
ready to follow the lead Of the German
brewers and other organizations of aliens
