JAMES GORDON BENNETT. JOSEPH PULITZER
AND OTHER PROMINENT PEOPLE or
THE WHITE STAR BOAT.
The feet American Line steamer Paris seems TO
have fallen behind In her with the big Cunardcr
Campania. The White Star steamer Majestic. which
hrrivcd here yesterday from LiverpooJ reported
that she had sighted the Paris Inst Monday at 80
p. m. In latitude 4cos and longitude 53'0l. The
Paris was ploughing along at a fair ratio OF speed
In heavy sea. and little but her smokcstacks was
visible. The Paris and the Csmpania left Ncw-fo
last Saturday. The American Line steamer Got out
Into the stream at . 10 n. m. and the Curaruer
began her journey fifteen minutes later. The Paris
passed sandy Hook nghtship 10 5s a.. md the
Camparla followed at II .i3 4. m. The observer at
Fire Island did not the Campania until 20
p. m while the Paris hove n sight at 10 :56 p m.
The Paris showed every Indication Of outsrippins
the big Cunarder In the race across the seas. The
Paris had been out two days when she was sighted
BY the Majestic. In days hours and II minutes
reckoning from the time she left Sandy Hook until
She wa, seen by tho lookout the Majestic. the
Paris trIvc e'ny 90 m / s. or rs than ,th.r |
Of her trip II sh" makes better speed tllan that
to southampton she will be badly beaten In her
contest with the Campania for the ocean record.
The Paris was making every possible efrsr. 10
shorten her course. She was considerably north OF
her regular track. and almost in the lane for
westward bound vessels. The Campania must have
passed further south and beyond the sight OF an
observer on the Majestic. II IS likely that the
big Cun,rder Is forging ahead many miles in advance
Of the American liner. There was a heavy sea on
May 3 and the winds were variable. The Paris
and Campania may have encountered rough weather
The Campania Is such powerful vessel that rOngh
weather would not affect her much, while the heavy
might have retarded the speed Of the trim
Paris. The officers OF the Majestic c0ul1 not tell what
rate Of speed the Paris making. They said
that the American liner seemed to be going at fair
rate Of speed
