A long and lively race is promised the
passengers and crews of the steamships
Alameda and Zealandia, which sailed at 2
O'clock Monday afternoon for Auckland,
New Zealand. The Alameda belongs to
the Oceanic Company of J. D. Spreckels &
Bro, and this is her first trip under the
new contract to carry mails for the New
Zealand Government between Auckland
and San Francisco. The Zealandia is
making her final voyage with cargo
from this city to the s;ime port, and a hot
race of nearly 5000 m5Ies will be run by
the two fine ships. The members of the
Spreckels family and their friends are so
confident of the super or sailing qualities
ofthe Alameda that they are offering to bet
two to one in favor of the ship in any sum,
that she will reach every port on the trip
ahead of the Zealandia. It is stated that
the betting was pretty heavy.
