Janudry OJn, tne same DAY tnat the
Teutonic, which holds the record across
the Atlantic, sailed. The latter vessel
only arrived at New York on Thursday
last and as Philadelphia is about days
run farther than New York, the Ohio
was thus but one day behind the leu
tonic, considering the distance run.
The Ohio's run is considered remark
able, owing from the fact that she en-
countered three days of head winds and
seas. She was saluted by the maritime
exchange here as she passed up,

1t has been many years since New
Castle has been visited by fog of such
density as that which prevailed from 10

little or no light and it was impossible
to distinguish person few feet away.
On the river it was SO foggy that yes
sells lights were not visible six feet
away. Navigation was entirely sus-

for the night. The fog continues this
morning, but not SO thick as last night.
