THE TEUTONIC Is QUEEN.
ENGLAND AND AMERICA BROUGHT NEARER
TOGETHER.
THE TIME IEssENEp BY THIRTEEN MINUTES
ON AUGUST 13-THE RECORD NOW is FIVE
DAYS, NINETEEN HOURS AND
FIVE MINUTES
FIVE MINUTES.

The Teutonic is the queen Of the ocean to-day
She holds the worlds record from Queenstown TO
this port having crossed the Atlantic in five days,
nineteen hours and five minutes. The White
Star liner has beaten the wonderful record or
the City Of Paris by thirteen minutes But there
is no superstition 10 De attached TO the number
l3 in the of the TeutOnic, for besides arrlv-
ing here yesterday, the thirteenth day OF the
month, and lowering the time of the Paris by
thirteen minutes, she also put another feather IN
her cap by defeating her od-tme rival the City
Of Ncw-York of the Inman Line in probably the
most remarkable race record between Queens
town and this port. Indeed, the trip was so fast
| that the City Of Ncw-York beat her own record
and is now the fourth steamer that has crossed
from Queenstown to this city Inside Of SIX days
The Ncw-York's time is five days twenty-five
hours and seven minutes, record Of which she
may we'll he proud 4 final touch Of glory for
the Tcutonic and consolation for the Paris is
that the White Star liner made 5l2 miles In one
dav. only three miles behind the greatest run
ever made by the Paris. the worlds record for
one day. The Teutonic Will probably enjoy the
honor OF being queen OF the ocean for the entire
season. for the City of Paris will not be in COM
| mission again probably until November.

a clean pair Of heels until II was too dark to see
