Made Steamer Time
The bark 8. 9. Allen, which
arrived here a few days ago from
Honolulu, beat all records in the
last four hours of her run to this
port. Captain johnson, who has
unbounded faith in the speedi-
ness of his vessel, undertook to
race the City of Picking into port.
The steamer passed the bark
about 2 o'clock in the afternoon
when both vessels were about
sixty miles from port. Captain
Johnson crowded on all the sail
his boat would carry, but the
steamer soon disappeared. When
the s. @. Alien came to anchor,
however, in the quarantine
grounds, Captain johnson found
that he had made the sixty miles
in a little less than four hours,
which satisfied him almost as
much as if he had beaten the
Picking into ports. +. Chroni-
