TWO FLYERS START FROM GOTHAM.

The Teutonic and City OF New York VIII
Strive for the Honors-The Vessels Start
in Perfect Trim and Only Fifteen Min
utes Apart-Each Ship Given "a Careful
Overhauiing in Preparation for the
Struggle.
NEW YORK, Aug. 22-The Teutonic, the
largest steamer afoat, and the City OF New
York sailed yesterday for Queenstown. They
left within fifteen minutes of each other, the
City Of New York taking the lead. The
trip will be a memorable one, as the vessels
will be crowded to the utmost limit Of speed.
For a week the two great flyers have been
tied at their piers, while an army of men,
like trainers, groomed them for the race.
Their cargoes were discharged and new ones
taken in. q Stevedores, watched by anx-
ious ships officers, slowed the freight, so
that each ship was loaded to the hairs
breadth of the line ON which she steamed
lest The City of New York had come in on
level keel, but now she must be loaded till
she draws twenty-six feet forward and
twenty five ait. The Teutonic came in
drawing twenty -fve feet aft and twenty
three forward, and down she went to the old
Grooming the Racers.
Meanwhile the engineers had not been idle.
The cylinder beads were removed and pistons
and cylinders examined and cleaned. Pumps
and journals were overhauled. Not a bear
ing but was examined, not a shaft or wheel
or rod that did not receive attention. The
coal, the best ever mined in Pennsylvania,
was inspected bucketful toy bucketful, as it
was taken in, to make sure that it was the
best Never since steamships first ran was
more care or better skill employed to see
that the racers were ready for the starting.
A Talk with the Captains.
Before the ships sailed a reporter talked
with the master of each. "Don't say a word
about the race" said Capt Land ave
don't race. We ans going to run as fast as
we can when we must, and take advantage
of every little fog to slow down and be COM
Portable. We don't expect the journals to
heat this time, though, and 1 should not be
! surprised if We made better time than we
did before. Everything Is just right I"
Capt Parsell was having a look over his
ship when reporter spoke TO him about the
coming trip. "You may say" he said, "that
we are going over there safely, comfortably,
and just as fast as we can"
on on Their Voyage.
The run down the bay was made at mode
rate speed Each ship had pilot, and each
had, therefore, to check her speed at the bar
1t was there that the race really began
Before that point the firemen and engineers
were simply getting things a-boiling ready
for the 3,00J-mile dash But the speed of
the City of New York across the lower bay
was considerably greater than that Of the
