The steamship Lancaster Of the Ley

week ago Thursday with cattle, had on
board gang Of cow punchers that was,
perhaps, the most unique that ever
sailed from this or any other port.
This remarkable portion OF the Lam
casters crew consisted of seventeen
Harvard students. two students from
the Massachusetts Institute of Tech
nology. one Princeton man and one Boe-
ton Latin schol man. They engaged to
go on the steamer as cattlemen "just

the trip that they might reach England
in time to attend the celebration of
Queen victoria's Jubilee.

across is IS, and the understanding is
that the classical young men on board
the Lancaster will each receive that

was no insistence on the part OF the

pier OF the New York Central and Hud-
son River railroad. where mail will be
left for trains going east and north
from the central station OF the railroad
at Forty-second street. The total time
elapsing from the beginning Of the
transfer of the mails at Quarantine to
the time the last of them is loaded into
the postal cars at Forty-second street
Is estimated at 75 minutes.
Every steamer from foreign ports Is
reported by telegraph either from Fire
island or Sandy Hook. The ordinary
liner requires two hours and half to
reach Quarantine from Fire island, and
40 minutes to come up from Sandy
Hook. Even IL 1t were so foggy that no
report of the liner were received until
she passed Sandy Hook, the mail steam
ers would have ample time to reach
Quarantine from their points of van
ttage; SO they will be waiting when the
big steamships come In. The railroads
which either enter or connect with New
York will not hold their trains for the
steamship mall 1t has often been the
case that mail has been just ten min
utes too late to catch a train that would
have caused 1t to reach its destination
twenty -four hours sooner. This is
where the time saving principally comes
In. OF course, in New York. the saving
is but few hours. Yet few hours is
a great deal to the average New York
business man.
The saving, as rule, permits the mails
to be placed aboard trains that will
cause them to reach their destination a
full day sooner than they would have by
the old arrangement. This will often

ness with Europe to gain the entire time

to conditions that might be prevailing

The steamship lines which carry mail
from foreign ports to New York, and
vice versa, are the American line. the

line, the North German Lloyd
line. the General Transatlantic line, and
the White Star line. 1t will be neces-
sary for the mail steamers to make trips
at least six times a week, and as much
oftener as circumstances require. The
| contract which has been drawn up by
the government for the service continues
in force until June 80, 1901. A bond OF
$4,000 Is required Of each bidder for .he

the present fast mail system 1t really

from London to San Francisco in less

years ago would have seemed incred-

For the benefit of those who do not un-
derstand why it Is necessary to take the
mail at the quarantine station in New
York 1t is explained that every vessel
which enters New York harbor from q
foreign port must submit to examina-
ton by the representatives Of Health
Officer Dory of the port. The place at
which the steamers are met by repre-
sentatives of the health officer Is known
as quarantine, and no ship may go far

Wadsworth, Staten island.
The vessels lie at quarantine an hour.
generally. for the examination made by
the health officials must be Of the most
painstaking and careful nature. Even
though the officials may be convinced
that there is no illness aboard, they find
It necessary to make complete exam
ination, and therefore It all takes time.
Now these steamers propose to take the
mail from the liners as soon as the big
craft have slowed UP at quarantine. BY
an arrangement with the steamship
lines the mail will be all ready on the
deck OF every boat that carries 1t by the
time quarantine is reached. Very little
time will be lost by making the transfer
from the big steamship to the little
steamboat, and then the smaller craft
will start on her return voyage with
her precious freight.
The first stop of the mail steamer will
be at the battery, where all lmaii for New
York city proper would be delivered.
Mall wagons would be waiting at this
point and the transfer would be accom-
plished In not over five minutes. As 1t
Il expected to make the distance from
quarantine to the battery, five miles, IN
eighteen minutes. The total time be-
tween the departure of the mails from
the deck of the steamship and their ar
rival at the New York postofiice, Broad
way and Ann street, would be exactly
thirty minutes. This is saving of at
least four hours for New York city
