Onc OF the most exciting and closest
ocean races over engaged In was that
between the British ships Arctic Stream
and Cromdalc, now In port. They LETT
the starting point within five minutes
Of each other and, nftcr battling against
contrary winds over nm 5000 mile courae,
thuru was only n difference OF two hours
between thcm at tho finish. Although IA
much smaller vessel. the Arctic Stream
held her own throughout, and on "a ton
mage allowance would have won hands
down, Captain Bowen ~ we'll satisfied

and IL OF the opinion that II the race
was run over II would bo his vessel that

entire run OF S,i0S miles the vessels were
nearly all tho time under two or three
topsails and reefed ~foresail, yet, never
theless, the average WA $40 miles Il day.
The Cromdale and Arctic Stream both
came here from Sydney, N. s, W., the
former with S,1ll ions OF coal n the
latter with 2,3l2 tons, On this occa-
sion the Cromdale won easily, MS she
made the run In "A days, while the
Arctic Stream took so days to cover the
distance. This was not n test of the
sailing qualities Of the ships. however. as
light and battling winds prevailed nearly
all the way from Australia to San Fran
