for British Ports at the Same Hour.
NEW YORK, May 6-Having broken all
maiden records on her first trip to the west
ward. the big Cunarder Campania Will now
give an illustration of what she can do
when travelling the other way. The east
ward record to Queenstown is held by the
New York. of the American line. which ao-
complished the distance In five days, nine
teen hours and fifty-seven minutes. Her
average speed was 90 IL knots per hour.
The superb Paris holds the westward
record by the u~nequaled passage of five
days. fourteen hours and twenty.four min.
utes. She sailed to-day and 1t will be q
fleet ship that keeps her company. The
admirers of the CampaDia. however. think
that she will be able to do 1t. Both ves-
sells left their piers at 9 A. NJ. Although the
American liner Is bound for Southampton
and the Cam pania for Liverpool. they will
traverse much the same course the greater
part of the voyage. Each ship has a full
passen ger list. The Campania goes under
the command of Capt. w. H.. L. Hams. who
formerly commanded the Etruria. of the
same line, He says that the Csmpania will
travel at her usual gait. and Captain Ran
del. of the Paris. also denies That there
will be any effort made TO optspeed his
rival. This diffidence about speaking of a
race as a race Is characteristic of sea cap
tains. but it is believed that each of the
two vessels will undertake to leave the
other behind the horizon.

terfering with advertisements of the show peo-
pie posted upon boards on Clifford avenue. neal
Brookside avenue; on Washington street, near

location Is held under advisement till tomorrow.
