New YORK, Oct 5.-The canvass OF all
the voters in the state above the New
York city line has been nearly completed
by Republican agents. The results
crafty the campaign commanders.
The business of making the canvass
was begun five weeks ago. One or two
Republicans were put to work Ia each
school district To prepare list Of voters,
showing the political status Of every
voter. The canvassers were aided by
previous pol. lists, old registry lists aud
their local personal information.
In this way there has come into posses
sion of the Republican stat. committee
tolerably accurate account of what the
situation In everypart Of the State is.
The Republicans think they have the adj
vantage of the Democrats in the State
above the city line of about $4,000. Mr..
Harrison's net pluralities above this line
were 50, ,4O4 in 1888. Mr.. Cleveland's net

A GREAT SOUND RACE.
Modern Machinery and Twin Screws
Pitted Against SidewheeIs.
THE PECK AND THE PURITAN.
The Former Queen OF the Sound Loses
Her Prestige and Her Crown to the
Triple Expansion Engines and the
Twin Screws of the Peck.

New YORK, Oct. 5-The race between
the sound steamer Puritan of the Fall
River line and the Richard Peck of the
New Haven line, which took place on the
down trip this morning. has created great
interest among the steamboat men.
1t was practically test Of old style
marine machinery against the latest and
most improved 1t was the compound
engines of the Puritan against the triple
expansion engines of the Peck, and the
old style side-wheels as a means OF pro-
pulsion against the latest twin screw.
The Peck is the first twin screw steamer
to 20 on service on the Sound, aud every
one was anxious to know what she could
do.
The Peck steamed o1t of New Haven
shortly after midnight and moved slowly
toward Stratford shoal AT that point
two big steamers hove in sight. They
were the Maine of the Stonington line
and the champion Puritan of the Fall
River line. AS the boats neared each
other the Puritan took upa position on
the port side Of the Peck and the race be-
gan.
The commanders of both steamers had
confidence in their ability to win, aud
sailors and engineers watched with fever
ish anxiety every move of the enemy
The passengers shared In the enthusiasm
OF the crew and cheered loudly as the
boats liued up.
Capt. Simmonds of the Puritan took
up his position in the pilot-house, while
Capt Peck paced back aud fourth on the
deck
For several minutes the boats were
nose and nose on the same line and no
difference could be detected.
The water was rough and a light rain
fell, but the bad weather did not drive
the excited passengers under cover. The
big boats plunged swiftly through the
mist aud fog, the smoke pouring from
the smoke stacks thicker and faster every
moment and the engines throbbing and
groaning. 1t looked as if it would be a
battle royal.
Engineer Sam Sault of the Peck gave
orders to ''let her out. and the coal was
piled into the furnace as fast AS the men
could heave it.
Gradually the Peck forged ahead, amid
the wild cries of her passengers and crew
She gained surely and steadily. and
in fifteen minutes had left the
Puritan in the rear. Still she
kept on gaining faster every moment.
aud when Fort Schuyler was reached the
Puritan was mile aud half in the rear.
When the Peck steamed up to her dock
at her pier at 6:25 this morning all on
board were enthusiastic aud jubilant and
loudly praised the new queen of the
Sound.
