A Remarkable Ocean Race.

One of the longest races between sailing ships
on record was finished Apr. 29th, when. almost
side by side, in the early morning light, the
ships Paul Revere and John Mcleod dropped
anchor at Quarantine, New York. The vessels
had left Manila side by side Jos days before,
and day and night ever since, all across the
great stretch of the Indian Ocean, through the
Suez Canal and the Mediterranean, and so on
across the Atlantic had striven to reach their
destination first. The advantage, if any, lay
with the John Mcleod, for she was loaded
with hemp. light and buoyant cargo, while
the Paul Revere carried heavy cargo of sugar
as well as hemp and was sunk low in the wa
ter. Notwithstanding this fact, the Revere left
Quarantine for her dock at 10 A. NJ, while
the Mcleod did not start away until 7.15-iive
minutes behind in los days. The Revere was
commanded by Captain SewalI, while Captain
Stuart was master of the Mcleod.
