The City OF Paris Now 10 tho Only Ship

The Hamburg American steamship Columbia
added lustre to her fame yesterday by creating
a new record from Southampton She made
the voyage from the Needles to Sandy Hook
Iightship In six days, sixteen hours. and two
minutes. covering $3.50 knots. at an average
speed OF nineteen knots an hour. This ecipses
her best previous performance by two hours
and eighteen minutes. and Is equal to voyage
over a short course from Queenstown OF six
days. one hour. and thirty minutes
There is now only one steamship ahoat
with a record superior to the Columbia's, and
that is the Inman liner. the City OF Paris. The
hopeful Neutrality-suspicious. do not expect
the Columbia to equal this. but they think the

company that built the Columbia will do i.
