The British Tramp Glenavon Sailed
for the Orient Yesterday for
the Mail Comp ny.

The British tramp steamer Glenavon
went to sea yesterday in ballast. She did
not take any passengers, nor will she
| bring any back. She is simply an extra
cargo boat put on by the Pacific Mail
| Steamship Company to run opposition to
the new japanese line. Over 5000 tons of
! freight is waiting for her at Hongkong
and Yokohama and the chances are that
! she will come back loaded down 20 the
matches.
Competition seems to be the order of
the day along the front Just now. The
steamer Columbia which sailed for Port
| land, Or, yesterday carried cabin passen-
! gers for So and steerage passengers for
! 81 so. In consequence there was not a
! spare berth II the vessel aud cots had to
! be pat up in the social hall and dining
room. Every available spot on the big
! steamer was taken up and the trains that
/ left Oakland were correspondingly empty.
| The schooner Robert Levers, Captain
| Goodman, and the barkentine Newsboy,
! Ca plain Mallestad, are having a race from
| Honolulu. Both vessels sailed at the
! same hour on May 21 last and $500 side
depen ds upon the outcome. The money
! has been put up in the hands of Captain
/ Campbell of the Interisand Steamship
! Company, and will be paid on demand to
/ the winning master. Both vessels are
! evenly matched and should make a pre- tty
I race. The Levers is 696 tons gross and
spreads less canvas than The Newsboy
/ The latter is only $50 tons burden, but
/ equals the Levers in carrying capacity.
! They got away on even terms and the
! barkentine at once got out sternsaIls and
! every hing that would draw.
Commissioner Chad bourne insists that
| the new ferry depot shall be finished b.
/ December next In talking about the
| matter yesterday he said: There will be
| no extension OF time. Each and every
| one of the contractors will have to live CD
! to his agreement. The stone work, the
iron work and the carpenters will have to
! finish their work on time Or else they will
! have to go 10 the Supreme Court for their
/ money. AS one mem Ger of the commits
! sion | will not sanction an hours delay"
AS ommissioner Harney is of the same
/ mind it appears as though there will be a
move among the contractors in the near
! future.
The Dirigo, the only American steel
! sailing ship, did not have to lie up, even
though she did lose her charter to load
! sugar at Honolulu for New York. She
was moved to Eppinger's yesterday, and
will there take on board cargo of wheat
for Europe.
The schooner Sailor Boy, which sailed
for Port Clarence last week, had to put
caught in a gale off the FaraIlones and
part of her deckload of coal was washed
overboard. The cargo in the hold shifted
and gave the vessel 4 list, SO Captain
/ Peterson determined to return 10 port.
! The vessel was docked at Mission-stre
wharf, and after the cargo has been trim
med will proceed to sea again. The
| Sailor Boy is gong to the Arctic to sup
! ply the steam whaie with coal. Nearly
all of the latter have been in the frozen
! north for over year and are conse-
! quently out of fuel.
The sloop yacht Francine had a coll
lision with tisheTman's wharf yesterday
that did not damage the wharf very much,
but left the sloop minus her headgear.

opportunity, and the captain was left to
| continue the cruise alone.
The schooner ]. NJ. Coleman is being
| prepared for the rush back from the
| Alaskan gold mines. She and the sleam-
schooner Excelsior have been built up and
