waiian trade, bark Albert and
barkentines W. Ii. Dimond and
Planter resulted in victory for
the Albert which accomplished
the run over to the Golden Gate in
III days arriving on May 1st. Her
competitors, the Dimond and the
Planter arrived on the Sd, each 10!
days out from Honolulu. They
were therefore beaten by the Albert
exactly two days. These three
clippers all left Honolulu on April
10Th, the bark Albert leaving port
almost three and one-half hours
after her rivals. 1t is no surprise
that the Albert had won the race,

fastest vessel in the Hawaiian
trade, and there are few vessels, if
any, on the Pacific Coast that
equal her,
