Three American Vessels In a Contest
From Hawaii to PHILADELPHIA.


Philadelphia, July IA race of
$1,000 miles for prize of $1,000 termi-
mated at the Delaware breakwater
yesterday on the arrival of the ships
I. F. Chapman and w. f. Babcock and
the bark st. Catherine from the Ha-
waiian islands. All three are Ameri-
can built and American owned vessels
and are commanded by American skip
pers.
1t was while the three vessels were
taking cargoes of sugar that their
masters arranged the race. Allowance
was made for the difference in time of
the departure of the vessels, but not
withstanding over two weeks elapsed
between the departure of the first YES
sci, the Babcock, and the last, the St.
Catherine, all three vessels arrived
within a few hours of each other, with
the ST. Catherine a winner.
The Babcock, Captain Colley, left
Honolulu March s. The Chapman fol-
lowed from the same port a week later
and the st. Catherine squared her sails
from Hilo, port several miles distant
from Honolulu, on March %.
it was after Cape Horn had been
rounded that the st. Catherine came up
TO her competitors. the Chapman hav-
ing caught the Babcock, while both
were in the Pacific. The three vessels
close together, the race began in ear
nest, the st. Catherine stadily hold
ing the lead. After being becalmed for
a week near the equator. the race once
more began, the staunch bark still
showing the way until the Delaware
capes were reached and the rattle of
her anchor chains brought the contest
to an end.
The others came in a few hours later
and cast anchor about the same time.
The Chapman is commanded by Cap
tain Thompson and the bark by Cap
tain Matthews
